You have a couple of plug-ins I wouldn't let near my computer -

Widdit Mozilla Plugin

The BearShare plugin allows you to open and play tracks on BearShare

You can Google them to get the general idea of why they may be causing problems. Do you actually use them? Disable them by setting "Never activate". Does that help.
