I have installed the FireFox-Extension "SwitchProxy Tool v.1.3.1". It worked
properly for a long time, but some days ago it caused my FireFox-Browser to crash.

This Problem couldn't be solved by re-installing the Browser or the Extension.

When Extension is deactivated, the Problem does not appear.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install FireFox 1.0
2.Install "SwitchProxy Tool v.1.3.1"
3.Restart FireFox

Actual Results:  
The Browser crashed. Error message: "Keine Rückmeldung" (in english: "no reply")

Expected Results:  
The Browser should have worked properly.
That would mean it is a problem with the extension, not Firefox. You should
contact the extension author directly.

You can't do anything with your Browser, exept of closing it. In the title bar
appears "not responding".
I'd like to add my experiences: The described error happens on many platforms. 
I can explicitely confirm this bug for Windows NT and Linux (2.6.x). Disabling 
the SwitchProxy tool makes Mozilla immediately stable again. 
So it looks very much like an extension problem.
