Bug 637542 is on file to blocklist this version of Site Advisor.
Blocks: 637
Summary: Crash with McAfee Site Advisor 3.3 [@ McFFPlg.dll@0x1cb20 ], mainly at startup → Crash with McAfee Site Advisor 3.3.0 [@ McFFPlg.dll@0x1cb20 ], mainly at startup

Yes this is looking and sounding like exactly what is happening to my browser. So what do I need to do next then?
> So what do I need to do next then?
Disable the McAfee Site Advisor extension or update it to version 3.3.1.
[@ McBrwCtl.dll@0x2439b ] is another crash that affects the 3.6.x branch that seems to be related to the same Site Advisor product, but a different version.
According to correlations in 4.0, there have been no crashes with versions 3.3.1.* of these modules.
Three days after the add-on blocklisting of versions 3.3.0 and below, there are still crashes with versions 3.3.0.* but the blocklist needs time to propagate.

Could it be that people are crashing so early in startup that they will not get a new blocklist at all?

It is not the extension that makes Firefox crash, but McAfee's software, so whatever the add-on blocklist status, it will crash.
We must wait McAfee's automatic update to see these crashes go.
We're now tracking such bugs. This doesn't mean it's something we can fix, merely something we hope to be able to point vendors to so they can investigate. This is an automated message.

there is a high correlation between many of these McFFPlg.dll crashes and 
the loading of sahook.dll.   might be a marker that malware is installed in many of these cases.

sahook found in 26501 of 481152 total crash reports for firefox 4 on 3/28/11
 sahook.dll might be associated with Adware.Zango.AN

I use McAfee with SiteAdvisor—thought I'd add my voice here. It's Firefox 4·0's first crash on this machine (first crash in 12 days).

Firefox 4 had been running well (with SiteAdvisor) since installation, so it was a surprise to see there might still be a continuing issue.
looks like the continuing issue might only involve the combination of SiteAdvisor + malware that its trying to combat, or is unable to detect.
Interesting, Chris. I have had a total scan of the system only on Friday, but will run Spybot and a few others to see what else they pick up.

I close it as WFM.
