ping!
I’m assuming it’s AVG 8.0. I think you might have a trojan or something similar. They can cause a crash in the ‘whitelist’. Just a guess.
Scanning Firefox 3.0 cookies, which are now in SQLITE instead of text, is pretty new to AVG. Probably a bug in AVG. Report it, and it’ll probably get fixed.
I use AVG and never had a problem with FR cookies. However, my AVG started acting up when I accessed the current White House website and came back as ...

I use AVG, what is this about?
I have been a long time user of AVG and Firefox on multiple workstations but something weird has been going on with AVG Antivirus 8 recently. About 2 weeks ago one workstation developed random Blue Screen of Death KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED crashes which ended up correlating with autoupdating the AVG antivirus library. MS Word documents required multiple clicks to open up. Most importantly the W2K workstation was getting quite sluggish over the last few months. I repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of AVG 8 with the same results. I scanned with other antivirus programs and found nothing. I ran exhaustive diagnostics on disk, memory and motherboard with no problems found. I finally moved off of AVG onto AVAST this week and I am amazed at how much more responsive the system is now, no more problems opening up MS Word docs, much much faster restarts and no more BSD’s.
I’ve got AVG 8.0 and it sometimes crashes Windows IE when I google something. It’s only happened two or three times but it’s unexpected and annoying. I do a system scan and it always comes up negative.
I understood “of,” “and,” and “the.”
Gotta clean out the cookie jar every now and then. Crumby buildup gets nasty after a while.
i’m having trouble with AVG today too. it wouldn’t update, i had to go to the site and do it myself. now when i google anything all the links are ‘questionable’ instead of safe, i keep getting jscript warnings, etc. i think they are just mucked up again. oh, i have AVG 8 by the way.
My guess: your FR cookie is benign, but your freeware A/V program either has a bug in it or let a virus slip through but can’t accurately report it to you. Load up a copy of Norton’s latest and no telling what you might find.
