Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

...Firefox closes on Main in Preferences

Wubi 7.04 install (very cool btw)

Set home page to bungi.net (typo; supposed to be bungie.net) Now if I try to get into firefox preferences>Main (as soon as i select Main) all firefox browsers close.

When firefox is launched, it clocks, unable to find bungi.net because it is an invalid site.

To sum it up: I typo'd my home page and I can't get back in to fix the address because firefox will close when I try to get to where I need to edit.

I am still looking for a workaround, other than using a different browser. At this time I can reproduce the bug every time attempted.

Thank you jacob for submitting this report.

Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions

Please indicate which extensions/plugins do you have enabled; and if
