Firefox crashes

Almost every minute FF crashes with problems related to the plug-in-container, faulty module mozglue.dll Unfortunately my reporting always ends with: "There was a problem submitting your report" so none of the crashes are ever reported to Mozilla. Strange enough the only reports really getting out were not those with mozglue-errors. Guaranteed FF to crash is when I visit extratorrent.cc - most times a few seconds after opening the page the crash occurs. Sometimes I'm lucky and can type-in a search - latest then FF crashes. Crashes also occur also when I start FF in safe mode,

Sorry - this wasn't helpful at all - it just describes how I came to making my question that you're answering.

Nevertheless, thanks for your effort!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,

Some of your crash reports weren’t sent to the Mozilla Servers.

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
