Crash on right-click/its own options with Firefox 40.0.2
Posted: Mon Aug 17, 2015 2:27 am
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.
