  • AVG Safe Search
    All?
    Problems include crashes, high CPU usage, blocked use of ENTER from location bar, the cache being purged, Firefox remaining in the processes list at exit and "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error when restarting Firefox.
    Disable in Firefox via "Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions" or uninstall using topic 1338 instructions.

    Note: AVG Safe Search is part of the "Link Scanner" component in AVG 8 Free Anti-Virus.

  • Cooliris (formerly PicLens)
    All?
    Firefox may remain in the processes list at exit. A "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error (or problems with bookmarks, history, and toolbar buttons) may occur when you restart Firefox.
    Disable or uninstall the extension.
    Note: If Norton 360 2.0 or Norton Internet Security 2008.5 is installed, a conflict with Norton's anti-phishing component can cause these issues. As a workaround, remove the Norton toolbar from Firefox by deleting the file "coFFPlgn.dll" from the Firefox components folder (details here).
