When I load ebay up in Firefox, all is well. until I search for a power steering pump for a mk3 golf. A couple of seconds after the results load firefox crashes, every bloody time.

 

What's that all about then? (IE does it fine)

I think there's a reason we don't tell people to "Blekko" it.

Right, doesn't happen with add-ons disabled. Time to update them all then...

Probably just one of them. If you can be bothered enable them all and disable them one by one.

Don't think I've worked out how to turn them all back on after turning them all off :$

More efficient to just enable one by one, until offender is found?

I am not efficient.

No, really. How do I turn them the fuck back on? :|

Tools>Addons then click enable buttons?

or do the opposite of what you did to turn them off

That page doesn't load properly, and the shift when starting up thing only let's me disable them again.

WTF have you done to it?!

Um, maybe create a new profile? Dunno how easy it'd then be to sync settings from the old one; depends how they're stored.

Maybe run some malware scanners too, in case you've caught something dodgy?

I have caught something dodgey. It's a disease that makes me follow Lucy's advice :@

So you're running it in safe mode? If so, stop, that's just a quick way to check whether it's likely to be addons.

Or are you saying you can't get to tools>addons in normal mode?

If you can't then it sounds dodgy, yeah. Easiest to just make a new profile (especially if you have syncing on, though be careful what it syncs). Or use Chrome.

If you can then just disable all the plugins and extensions and enable them one by one.
