Firefox crashes
Suddenly getting repeated crashes as frequently as every 3 hours over last 24 hours. Seems to be most frequently related to open tabs for either of the following sites. These sites do not crash Google Chrome. Last 5 crash IDs are listed below although there have been 12 in last 24 hours. Reboot of PC didn't help. Am on latest Firefox 11 and Windows 7 software.
Anything obvious here or a known bug you've fixed in the beta release? It's getting annoying. I'm a loyal Firefox user and would rather not go to Chrome or, ugh, IE9!
Thanks, Mike

Using Firefox safe mode I think I have traced my problem to one of my Add-Ons. I disabled them one at a time and noted continued quick crashes until I disabled this one: Ant Video Downloader 2.4.6.2. I disabled it over 24 hours ago and have not had another crash.
What do I do now? Contact the vendor? 2.4.6.2 is their newest release for Firefox. I've had this version for a while. Why would it crash Firefox a few times a day starting on April 2nd?

Thanks for tracking it down! (Although not all crashes with that signature have Ant Video Downloader 2.4.6.2, many of them do.)
Yes, contact the vendor, and give them this URL https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640904
