Does this happen with every web site or only specific ones?

Does this happen in safe mode?

thank you for your asking

-- it happen with every web site

Does this happen in safe mode?
-- i tried safe-mode (running firefox in command line with -safe-mode parameter), it works fine

it seems like plugin problem? please help me identify the problem, it's annoying

ok, i think i found the source of the problem

i found this crash report https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/651ec6a6-a3f7-4077-9f6b-4d7532120315

and then i disabled [e-mail](0.4b2.2011041023)  plugin, and try every method to make crash happen, but it didn't happen, so clearly it's the plugin's that cause the crash

but, a good broswer SHOULD NOT be crashed by a plugin!!!

Firefox add-ons are very powerful and have full access to the browser internals. If they are not properly written, then many bad things can happen up to and including crashes.

yes，i have firebug installed, the version of firebug is 1.8.0b6
i can't re-produce the crash after disabled autoproxy plugin

[Jorge Villalobos [:jorgev] (he/him)]

Can you reproduce the crash with autoproxy enabled and firebug disabled?

I test that situation
with autoproxy enabled and firebug disabled, I can still reproduce the crash

I reported an issue to the developer of autoproxy, but didn't get any response yet

Can you reproduce this with an otherwise clean profile? If so, can you tell us exactly what steps you took to reproduce the crash from the time you created the profile?

ok ... 
1. run firefox -profilemanager and create a new profile
2. install autoproxy extension(ONLY autoproxy extension, no other extensions)
3. restart firefox, open any web site, right click on any link, and choose Open Link In New Window
4. It has a great chance that firefox will crash

it's the autoproxy's problem, I think it's been confirmed

Mass-closing old Extension Compatibility bugs that relate to legacy add-ons or NPAPI plug-ins. If you think this bug is still valid, please reopen or comment.

Sorry for the bug spam, and happy Friday!
