I am getting a crash on exit with Firefox 3.6.3. I disabled all addons, removed all themes, even re-installed Firefox. Everything works fine until I import my saved bookmarks backup - and then the crash on exit comes right back.

Are you importing from an HTML file, JSON file, or copying over the places.sqlite file?

Oops - JSON file. I backed up to the desktop before doing the full uninstall.
