Firefox crashes at uefa.com, gamespot.com
If your Firefox crashes when you try to access certain websites like uefa.com or gamespot.com (also michelin.com, linkedin.com, msgpluslive.net have been reported), see if you have the Firefox extension (aka add-on) called Extended Statusbar installed. If yes, disable it and try again.
Extended Statusbar is a neat little extension and is included on my list of favourite Firefox extensions. Unfortunately, with it crashing the browser I have been forced to disable it until the bug is fixed.

Are you sure it’s Extended Status bar causing problems? I have it installed and none of those sites do crash Firefox. Did you notice that all those websites have lots of flash content (except msgpluslive.net), which may be a part of your problem.

Hi Risto.
Yes, the problem disappeared the moment I removed it. Moreover, others have reported similar issues (see Mozilla’s add-ons page). Also I actually suspected the flash content first.
It may of course be that the extension is conflicting with some other extension that I have installed. However, seeing that I am not the only one with the problem, and that I could get rid of the problem by just uninstalling the extension, it seems I won’t be using Extended Status Bar at least until the problem is fixed.
