I am getting this crash just about everytime I try to log on to a site. I have run Spyware (Spy Hunter) and cleaned registry, helped a little but still getting crashes. Here's the latest crash report

That looks like a problem with Windows Media Foundation.

You can try to toggle these pref to false on the about:config page

  • media.windows-media-foundation.enabled = false
  • media.directshow.enabled = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
