After installing NOD32 30day-trial Firefox crashes randomly

Browser: Firefox 12
OS: WinXP
ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5.2.9.12 downloaded and installed.

Since then my Firefox collapses randomly.
There is nothing new record in about:crashes in Firefox.
I don't know why this is happening.

 

looks similar to this one https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=2059932&postcount=6
(waterfox lets system crash)

Only Firefox? which plugins? (look at -> aboutlugins and -> about:support)

 

I've started Chrome browser which I use rarely
and right after start it collapsed.

 

If you remove the AV does the crash occur still? Any errors or warnings in event viewer logs?

 

Had the same problem, so I downgraded to V4 - no crashes anymore.

 

Hello,

Was there antivirus or other security software previously installed on the computer before the trial version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus was installed? If so, what was it, and how was it removed from the system?

Regards,
