Bug Description
Bug first appeared last week after updating to Firefox 10 using Synaptic. Original symptom was crashing Firefox when navigating a site I'm developing (which logs a lot to console in development environment). Further discovery indicated that I could crash Firefox by clicking on the DOM tab in Firebug. At that point, I re-installed Firefox, created a new profile, re-installed Firebug and could still reproduce the crash. I created a new user on my system, repeated the prior steps, same result. After some searching, I found these discussions:
https:/
At which point, I tried simply opening the Web Console and typing print, which would crash the browser before finishing typing the command, even with a clean install and no plug-ins.

I get semi-random crashes while running the Firefox developer tools mochitests on my machine.
This started happening since I pulled https:/ /tbpl.mozilla. org/?tree= Fx-Team& rev=9d697ecaf16 1 ... and it still happens, even with the latest fx-team code.
Tests from the Style Inspector, Source Editor and from the Web Console cause crashes, in opt and dbg builds.
I am not sure if the component I picked is correct, I just saw the crasher is related to js/Vector.h and jscntxt.h, etc.
Going to attach gdb stacktraces.
