Firefox crashes every time I double click on the web screen

Okay, this may sound funny and I've tried searching the web to no avail. I've just recently upgraded my Firefox and so far it's working...until when I double-clicked on the web page (the fast way to block a whole paragraph to be copied). The Firefox then suddenly crashed. First I thought there might be a web page which caused the problem, but when I experimented double-clicking on the Firefox Homepage, the problem persisted. This hasn't happened before and I have no idea what error does the double-click induces. The other processes---downloading, uploading, etc.---works fine. Maybe you guys will find it minor, but still it annoys me every time I forget and double-click.

Can you please try disabling the Google toolbar by going to Tools--Addons--Extensions?

Also I recommend upgrading to Firefox 3.6.6 or Firefox 4.0 Beta 1. Links to get both will be below.

You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.7 to Firefox/3.5.3.

You can see the Firefox version at the top and the user agent at bottom of the "Help > About" window (Mac: Firefox > About Mozilla Firefox).

You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page. You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website. Filter: general.useragent If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.
