517193 - EndNote plugin causes Firefox to hang on startup

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[keirawynn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3

Installed the EndNote plugin from the EndNoteWeb page.  Browser has been crashing repeatedly since upgrading to 3.5.3 and eventually hung on startup.  Process was visible, but not application.

Re-installed 3.5.3, this did not solve the problem.  Started in SafeMode, disabled all add-ons, enabled one at a time.  Browser failed to launch when I enabled EndNote.

Started in SafeMode again, uninstalled Endnote completely and enabled all the other add-ons.  No problems so far.

Reproducible: Didn't try
