I've been using it for about a year now. Crashes don't occur in the following build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060413 Firefox/2.0a1 ID:2006041314 When Ad Muncher is not running - everything is OK. I have been in contact with the developers of Ad Muncher who say it's Firefox's problem. I started the following thread on Mozillazine forums discussing the problem: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=438641 The regression window is between Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060413 Firefox/2.0a1 ID:2006041314 AND the nightly build on 20060427 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Ad Muncher 2. Start Firefox 3. Go to Tools->Options... and then click Cancel to close the options window. 4. Exit Firefox Actual Results: Firefox crashes if AM is running. Expected Results: Firefox exits without crashing Talkback crash ID TB20936858Y I think this might be related to bug 342646 and 344933
cc-ing to kaie. Same crash as Bug 333534 (crash when Keiro Personal Firewall 4.2.2 is used). When KPF 4.2.2, Bug 333534 (crash while shutdown) and Bug 333540 (crash on https: access). As I described in Bug 333540 Comment #30, both crash disappeared after upgrade to Keiro Personal Firewall 4.3.246. When 'Ad Muncher", Bug 344934 (this bug, crash while shutdown) and Bug 342646 (crash on https: access). Read Bug 342646 Comment #4 for description on 'Ad Muncher' case by developer of 'Ad Muncher'.
