Firefox working OK without extension.  The extension works OK in Internet Explorer.  Will go back to using IE with Windows 98SE as I now like browsing with McAfee SiteAdvisor. This site assessment should be built into all browsers. i also us an XP sp2 computer and the extension works there with Firefox.

Does talkback fire when you crash? If so, can you paste one of the crash IDs? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

Turns out that McAfee is abusing APIs. In bug 333423 there is a patch that makes us not crash when this happens. Hopefully we can get this patch into the branch 1.5.0.x is made from.
