Crash on right-click/its own options with Firefox 40.0.2

Post by pinkranger »

For Firefox 40.0.2, FlashGot causes Firefox to crash on right-click if it is included in the right-click menu.

I thought to disable FlashGot when I had this problem because a 'FlashGot.exe' file would be in my active processes list after I forced 'firefox.exe' to end. After this add-on (and only this add-on) was disabled, I have no issues with right-clicking.

Before I disabled it (because I really didn't want to), I tried to access its 'Options' in order to remove FlashGot options from my right-click menu, but clicking on 'Options' for FlashGot in the Add-On Manager caused Firefox to crash again. So, I had no choice but to disable it.

It would be a pain if I had to keep it disabled until I needed to use it, save the URL I wanted to use it on, enable it, then restart Firefox to grab the download I wanted, since its value is in being able to download "on-the-fly". So, I hope this gets addressed in this latest Firefox version, because I'm not downgrading my browser and leaving myself open to security vulnerabilities just to use FlashGot.

What does that mean?
Killed via Task Manager?


As a test, create a new, clean Profile.
Install only FlashGot & see what happens?
