Firefox Error Loading page

I wonder if it would be better to have a separate forum section for Browsers.
I am on XP Pro running firefox 2.0.0.16 and have only recently encountered this problem.
I go to a site and a message pops up with error details and I must close firefox.
I reopen firefox but choose to restore session and then the dialog comes up asking which data(if any) to clear. I choose none/cancel because I want to restore the session. I get the same error.
I open firefox again but start a new session. Sometimes this works; sometimes, not.

Has anyone encountered something like this in Firefox 3.0?
I will jot down the error message and its contents next time it happens.

I tried the same under a different USER on this computer.
Upon going to http://www.computerworld.com/action/art ... geNumber=5

I note the following message: "Security Warning You are about to leave an enycrypted page. Information you send or receive from now on could easily be read by a third party. [] Alert me whenever I leave an encrypted page for one that isn't encrypted. OK"

I continued and found myself at the same trouble spot: "firefox.exe
firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

there are no more options beyond this last dialog.
Though I have encountered this, the information is the same -- besides the username.
I am wondering what it could be...










I am wondering if I can post an image of some of these...

I changed some about:config settings on the firefox browser of another member of my network(we access Internet through the same router).
I will check if those changed settings could be the culprit.

Is there a way to find out when a setting was made in the about:config page in FF?

no
but goto tools>clear private data and try to return to the website i have thew same problem but when i clear everything in FF it fixes it
I can try to post my about:config and you can see what is different if you like.


edit:
Nevermind i can not copy and paste my about config(what was i thinking :P )but still try clearing your private data
