Continuous crashes of Firefox if the "Browser Protection" is active

[ Edited ]

Hi all,

 

I have just installed NIS 2010 and I have the problem that if the option "Browser Protection" is active, Firefox crashes continuosly.

I have also tryed to create a new Firefox profile but this not solve the problem.

If I disable the "Browser Protection", Firefox doesn't crashes; so at the moment I'm forced to have this useful option disabled.

 

Any idea of how I can solve this problem?

Many thanks.

What other extensions do you have enabled?

Can you let us know the version of Firefox that you are using?

 

Thanks,

If my colleagues do not find a solution or resolution for you, perhaps you would try the following:

 

goto Microsoft web site and download, install and run autoruns. The web site is here.

 

When autoruns has finished scan, click the "Explorer" tab.

 

Review the listing and look for the hklm\software\Microsoft\Windows\currentversion\explorer\shellexecutehooks

 

advise the entries and descriptions shown please. Exit autoruns, make no changes.

TomV: The version of Firefox is the last one, 3.5.3.

 

Cgoldman: The registry key  hklm\software\Microsoft\Windows\currentversion\explorer\shellexecutehooks  shows  D:\windows\system32\shell32.dll . The corresponding value in the registry is  {AEB6717E-7E19-11d0-97EE-00C04FD91972}.

 

Thanks for your help.
