Google Analytics causing Firefox to fail?

Ive noticed firefox has been failing on a lot of websites randomly.

I noticed while looking through the GA JS that there is a mention of Firefox but no mention of Chrome, Opera, IE etc

http://google-analytics.com/ga.js

Im wondering if any JS guru knows what the code is doing to the reference of firefox? and also whether this code could 开发者_开发百科make ffox crash?

Cheers

Bringing up dead posts, but has started once more... Mi FF 15.0 (yes Beta), started to fail TODAY on Google page, and was crashing on others since a couple of days ago.

I just simply add "google-analytics.com" to the hosts file to block it and ALL is well now.

guess that I'm staying away from google EXTRA data on my browsing habits from now on.

I had the same problem. Removing my extensions one by one, I found that it's the "Https Everywhere" extension that caused it. Its trying to call https versions of Google Analytics API.

To resolve this problem, I unchecked the "Google API" redirection rule in "Https Everywhere options".
