Experimental Features

thank you. this kind of crash is very likely caused by the webroot filtering program that you have running on the machine. please disable its firefox extension once or in case this doesn't help to address the crash try to totally uninstall the program.

Webroot was uninstalled when I tried the Firefox refresh so I don't think that's it.

hi, webroot is probably an extension that is installed systemwide, so it doesn't get affected when you reset your profile. it is also clearly shown as present in the crash reports that were part of the troubleshooting info page... so please try to disable the addon or generally uninstall webroot from the system control panel and see if the crashes continue.

Ok That seemed to work. Just weird because I've had webroot as my anti-spyware for years on Firefox without trouble. Thank you.
