Bug description:
Searching for any text causes Firefox 13.0.1 to crash on Ubuntu 12.04
( both 32 & 64 bit **1).
Test case:
1. Hit ALT to bring up the HUD search box
2. Type one or more words into the textbox.
Expected result:
1. HUD appears ready to search
2. Results appear depending on the search term.
What actually happens:
1. HUD appears ready to search
2. Results appear, however firefox crashes shortly after.
== Additional information ==
Running firefox in safe mode makes HUD ignore firefox. In this
situation Firefox doesn't crash.
**1: I can reproduce this bug on 64 bit Ubuntu. Peter Cawkell is
experiencing this bug on 32 bit ( see coments )
