That's why I played with re-enabling them in different order... but in the end it came down to always falling back to the error when I enabled Diigo. Perhaps if I had all other plugins disabled, and only Diigo enabled, it would not happen... so there still is a fair degree of randomness here. But frankly I just don't have the time to deal with this mistery: if I can keep FFox stable by keeping diigo off for now, that's what I'll do - I just need to keep on working here ....

I never had the Diigo plugin you mentioned but I did do what Craig suggested above: uninstalled the most recent plugin. It worked. You might try reinstalling that plugin and see if it happens again... it hasn't on my computer (it's been two months). The question is what causes it in the first place?
