Reddit gives me an error message when loading it up on Firefox only.

Whenever i try to load Reddit on Firefox, I get this error message:

Exception caught Fnc: navigate Error:[Exception... "<no message>" nsresult: "0x805e0006 (<unknown>)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://saff/content/saffplg.js :: oSAPlg.navigate :: line 281" data: no]

Why is this happening and how can i fix it?

In past threads, this script --

chrome://saff/content/saffplg.js

-- turned out to be part of a McAfee extension, probably SiteAdvisor / WebAdvisor. Presumably there is some hangup checking the links in the page you're loading. I suspect only McAfee can really solve it

Perhaps if you click Continue once or twice and let the script finish whatever it's doing and hopefully it won't repeat. If it repeats every time, then the next workaround would be to disable the extension. You can do that on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then you can find McAfee on the right side and click Disable. Firefox will inform you if you need to restart before that takes effect.

Would it be too ironic to give you a link to a Reddit page about this problem?
