Update
OK. Good news and bad news.
First, I figured out how to properly delete the profile, and I installed a clean version of Firefox 1.01 and then added the Crash Recovery extension (v. 0.45).
The good news is that I can now get it to work if I "Force Quit" Firefox. I had previously installed a custom "theme" and I think this may have been the problem.
The bad news is that if I do a regular "Quit" command - how one is *supposed* to quit an application (File --> Quit, or Command-Q), then all my tabs are lost. I believe this is because Firefox on the Mac first closes the window before quitting, since I also get a warning message asking me if I want to close a window with multiple tabs.
I would rather not have to "force-quit" the application everytime just to save my tabs, so I hope there is some possible work-around.
Cheers.

As I haven't got access to any Mac, it's quite difficult for me to work this out. I'll see what I can do. As a work-around, I suggest giving SessionSaver another chance.

Re: Update
EDIT: removed duplicated entry caused by CR restoring the forum's confirmation page.

Causes a crash in a particular circumstance
With CR 0.4.5 (or 0.4.3) installed a strange combination of html/js causes Firefox to crash (it doesn't crash with CR disabled) - I reported this at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276370, but you may be able to shed some light...

I can't help you on this one, I'm afraid. I suppose you've discovered a bug in Firefox, as a simple extension (XUL/JavaScript only) shouldn't be able to crash anything. Maybe rue (the author of SessionSaver [on which CR is based]) can help you further, as the bug happens with his extension as well.

I'm not able to reproduce your problems (using a clean profile). Are you sure that Crash Recovery causes them? If it does work under a clean profile, it's most probably either a defect profile, another extension or the combination of CR and another extension (and a defect profile) which can lead to the observed behavior (extensions not working under 1.0.3 have been collected at adot's notblog).
Should the problems persist, please describe more precisely how to reproduce them (including what other extensions/themes you're using). As an alternative, you might consider trying SessionSaver.

There most probably won't be any new version of Crash Recovery. SessionSaver should finally get text restoring in the next version, making Crash Recovery obsolete. In the meantime, you might want to consider using MozEX for editing text in an external editor - that's what I'm doing for the 05/02 nightly build.

Crash Recovery [discontinued as of Mai 30]
Crash Recovery's functionality was successfully merged into SessionSaver as of SessionSaver version 0.2d nightly 28. As that extension is more robust and better maintained than Crash Recovery, it is recommended to migrate to SessionSaver.
Thanks to you all for using and supporting Crash Recovery!
