Does Firefox Crash On Your VISTA Platform?

I’m having problems with Firefox and Adbrite….don’t know what’s up.

Firefox crashes everyday in vista for me. It’s starting to piss me off!

firefox is crashing everyday on my XP machine - only started happening in 2008 - new firefox version? particular windows upgrade? who knows…

Firefiox crashes EVERY SINGLE DAY, and I even upgraded to Vista Ultimate to maybe enhance crap Vista. No- everything is still slow, programs take a good 5 seconds to even respond to my commands, and reboots are a constant. Oh and the blue screen of death- BACK. The people at Firefox seems like they don’t even notice this…. drives me NUTS.

It happens to me on XP SP2 and it drives me nuts. Pretty soon I’ll switch to slimbrowser or one of the others.

Firefox now crashes on me multiple times each day on Windows XPSP2. It started in Mar 2008. No new add-ons, either. In fact, I’ve removed all of the non-default options. I blame the updates beginning with 2.0.12, but I can’t find the cause or cure. Time to switch to Opera I guess!

Interesting. This just started happening to me yesterday - it crashes several times a day on Windows XP SP2. I, too, have removed any new add-ons, but I don’t have many. The only advice I can find is to remove the profile and reinstall. I don’t like that advice.

It’s happening to me too on Vista Business. It started right around the same dates and has been getting worse. I’ve completely stopped using Firefox (as of yesterday) because I would have to restart at least 5 times a day!

I’ve been using Vista Business with no problems for a good 6 months, and since it started all on the same day, and I have no problems with anything else, seems like it’s Firefox.

I too am experiencing crashes upt to 6-8 times per day, as I work Internet both for work and pleasure it is a really pain. Start edwith the V2.00 update, before that Perfect, I was wrapped, now not so, seriously considering moving over to Opera or one of the others, any feed back on a better one.
Need to have good password collection as FF does that very well, would hate to have to redo 100,s of those.

Mine started yesterday, after moving to a new laptop. Installed firfox and my usual add ons and the trouble started. Flash and javascript heavy sites seemed to be the culprit. XPL Link Checker also listed as troublesome

I just upgraded to Vista. I now get 10-20 crashes per day. The crashes occur when closing the program and when changing websites.

Is there a fix or do we go back to IE.

I found this thread through Google, so it could be that everyone has left off (since it now seems to be two months plus since the last post). However, I just started using Vista (against my wishes) and I am having the FF crash issue - so far 6 times today and counting. seems that this started happening just after I installed updates (yesterday)for the version of Ultimate that came with my new laptop.

Did anyone resolve this, btw? because I agree whole-heartedly - it is very annoying.

Knowing Microsoft, they see themselves losing IE market share to FireFox and are intentionally crippling it. At the very least, they aren’t going out of their way to fix it.

Sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, but look at their predatory behavior in the past. What they can’t win in the courts they have to do through more subtle means.

Firefox doesn’t crash for me — it just stops getting data from the Net. Launching IE shows that my connection still works. Killing the process doesn’t work. Reboot is the only solution thus far. Happen only in Vista… Works find on XP.

Hi there,

After installing FF3 on my XP box which has been stable for ages, I am now having major issues.

I have managed to alleviate some of the problems, but not all.

I posted the problem & my own solution that worked here - http://www.twenty20.co.za/bron/?p=16
