Hey. When I visit certain pages, Firefox will consistently crash. One of these pages for example is:

betabrand.com

The moment the password manager window jumps up, the window hangs and Firefox stops. It also happens randomly on other pages including

gmail.com

Sometimes, though not always, a script error will appear that says that googletag has stopped working. I don't know what that is and have tried debugging, stopping the script and just continuing. No real effect. Firefox still crashes after trying each in turn.

Firefox will also crash if I try to access the options window.

I have tried: 1. uninstalling firefox and reinstalling fresh. No result. 2. disabling all addons (addons I use are: addblock plus 2.6.5 - Clean Links 2.6.1.0 - Myibidder 1.3.7 and Web Of Trust 20131118). Firefox will function without crashing once I do this but I cannot identify whcih addon is causing the problem because it functions well on each occassion when I cycle through and disable them one by one.

My system specs are: i7 @ 3.4g 4gig ram Win7 32

FF crashed while terying to install the troubleshooter addon.

Thanks for any help.

Do you have an ad blocker, firewall, or antivirus installed that may be blocking the google tag? http://www.google.com/tagmanager/
