In IE9, FB.init will crash IE if the site is running in localhost. I've tested this in Safari 5, Chrome 15, Firefox 7, and even IE8 with no problems. I have noted that if you just run the page from the file system, IE auto blocks and ActiveX (most likely Flash) from being loaded by Facebook and IE doesn't crash but if you give the ActiveX permission to run, when IE reloads the page it will crash so the problem may be with the Flash Facebook is using.
