If other browsers have the problem, it is not a Firefox problem. Are you using a firewall? Perhaps it is causing a problem? Have you tried a different firewall? What about the antivirus? Could it be acting up?

iDeviceEx.dll looks like the cause. According to this - http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/174450-crashing-explorer.html - that DLL is related to iPhone software.

See if that solves it for you.

I was in doubt if this was a problem related to iphone or with windows 8 ty
