Every time I go to the History tab, my Firefox (10.0.1, just updated today) will crash. It actually happened before when I got on gmail to check my email, the first time.

I turned off ALL my addons (safe mode) and Firefox still crashes when I hover over, or click the History in the file menu. I even deleted the history, thinking there was an error in one of the files or titles or whatever. Nothing, still crashes.

Hi,

You can also try deleting the places.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. You can also open the profile folder via Firefox Tools (Alt + T) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder and exit Firefox. The places.sqlite file holds both history and bookmarks data. Please also see Bookmarks Backup
