Since I installed NoScript some Firefox crashes happen. What can I do?
Upgrade to most recent stable Firefox version. Firefox up to 1.0.4 was affected by the 2 years old Bug 217967 which used to randomly crash the browser after security permissions have been changed. I fixed it with a patch that was landed in the Mozilla source tree on 30 June 2005, hence Firefox 1.0.5 and above doesn’t crash anymore with NoScript 🙂 Notice that other crashes happening in buggy plugins as soon as you allow JS on a page, may be wrongly perceived as NoScript related even if they’re not. The most commonly reported are caused by Windows Media Player plugin, by the Yahoo Application State plugin or by the VLC plugin. The latter is installed by VLC, a cool audio/video streaming application, but notwithstanding the VLC coolness (I’m an enthusiast myself), this plugin is behind “Firefox Sudden Death” phenomena (i.e. Firefox abruptly disappear with no error message). To cure this disease, you need to remove the npvlc.dll from your Firefox plugins folder.
