Vista's Data Execution Prevention is killing Firefox 3
I'm running Firefox 3 RC1 and I love it. There is just one problem which is annoying me... a lot. Since Beta 4 Firefox has been randomly killed by DEP. Does anyone know a solution to this? I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x86.

CNN live triggers this. Here's the bug. Sportsline.com is WFM though.

No particular site. It happens at random occasions. Also even when no tabs are open. Other times I might have left my computer unattended for something like half an hour and when I get back I find out that it has killed FF.
These are the extensions I use, if that's of any help:
Better GReader
Better Gmail 2
AdBlock Plus
Customize Google
Delicious Bookmarks
Firebug
FireGPG
Live HTTP Headers
Web Developer

Getting it all the time here as well using the RC1 release. It's happened while browsing the forums here and just about anywhere as it's completely and totally random.

Hope this gets addressed before final release. But I don't envision an RC3
EDIT:
Just got another DEP crash/shutdown after submitting this post. The only open tab, too.

Has there been any progress on this? I certainly hope for the good of firefox that 3.0 final does not get released with the DEP bug.
I seem to get the DEP crash in Vista when I hit the back button during forums browsing (such as in this forum).
I wouldn't think that any solution requiring altering Vista DEP settings would be an acceptable solution.
