real player 12
Since Real Player issued an update to v. 12, I've had constant crashes with Firefox freezing. I can only restart and disable Real Player's video downloader, then everything is fine. Is there a fix anyone knows about?
I use XP SP3.
I reinstalled RP, which seemed to help a little, but there are still oddities, including the strip across the top (File, Edit, View) disappearing. Freezing or partial freezing tends to happen most often when a pop up box comes up or I click the download button to see my list of downloads. (not coincidentally.....exactly what extension real player installed)
Disabling the extension seems mostly to fix things.

No one else is having a problem?
The "RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin" extension has been causing problems in the past, so it is quite possible that there are problems with it in current Firefox versions.
See:
- In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
- Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
- Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

There's no question the problem is the Real Player extension. The other issue is that I can't even uninstall it. The uninstall button is grayed out. I disable it! Which works.But I'd like to try uninstalling it.
Is there any way to do that?
You can disable/remove the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)
Thanks..that worked. It is simply absurd that the "uninstall" button in FF doesn't work but you have to go into the RP program itself to actually remove the extension!
