Fix Google Mail (G-mail) crashing Firefox
There have been a lot of reports about Google Mail crashing Firefox, normally when trying to access the ‘All Mail’ section of a Google Mail account.
Thankfully we think we’ve found the problem to be caused by the HTML Validator plugin trying to access mail.google.com, here’s how to modify it and get back to crash free browsing.
- Tools > Add-ons > Options from the the HTML validator section
- Exceptions button located just right of the checked ‘Enable validation in the Browser’ text
- Enter
mail.google.com
into the ‘Address of web site’ field.
- Click Close > OK etc. and your done

@Mario, try creating a new profile in firefox (make sure to untick the Don’t Ask at startup, so you can return to your old profile with ease)
Follow the directions in this post:

It may have something to do with another plugin you have installed, the directions shown will give you a clean profile for testing purposes.
If this solves your problem, login to firefox with your old profile and then disable and test each plugin you have installed: Tools > Addons
