It appears McAfee Site Advisor is conflicting with several other Firefox Add-ons, causing this error message. McAfee Site Advisor has been causing problems in Firefox for some time. You can disable McAfee Site Advisor and test. Disabling Site Advisor should not affect the functioning of McAfee; you should still be protected. See the information below about a built-in function in Firefox that is similar to the function of Site Advisor.

Firefox has a built-in component to help keep you from entering known malware and phishing sites

McAfee Site Advisor is installed, but NOT enabled and it has never been enabled. I can't even find anywhere to enable it if I wanted to. I tried turning off the firewall in McAfee to see if that would stop any conflicts between McAfee and FF. However, FF is still crashing when I start it and it is now giving me this error message "Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!" under the heading of [JavaScript Application] Now what?

Have you tried disabling it in Add-ons > Extensions?
