Firefox crashes everytime I close a tab; the internet said it was a Norton Antivirus issue, but I contacted Norton and they are not the issue.
Every time I close a tab, Firefox crashes. These forums hinted that it was a Norton issue (and that it had been solved) so I contacted Norton. Spent 2 hrs on support with them, including them remotely controlling my computer. Norton is 100% updated, and the crashes happened EVEN WHEN WE DISABLED NORTON. So, it is NOT a Norton issue. What can I do? This is very frustrating and makes it impossible to continue to use Firefox.

These are the ones just from this morning. I have several dozen more showing on about:crashes
hello, these crashes are the same norton issue that was written about in the forums during the last few weeks (the norton component coffplgn.dll is causing the crashes) - according to symantec the cause fro the crashes wasn't fixed in its 2012 product line: https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-18-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/m-p/900991/highlight/true#M8266
so you might want to disable all norton addons in firefox > addons > extensions or upgrade to norton 2013...
