[+6REP] Firefox Crashing...

[shizzle]

I have 3.5.3 or something like that.. I go on it, its fine for 10-20 seconds, and crashes and shows the 'crashing error' report... Idk what to do... I don't want to use Chrome :(!:eusa_wall I uninstalled/reinstalled it. I tried using a lower version too, and it doesn't work, still crashes...

It was working fine for like a month when I updated it... idk why it did this now!!:eusa_wall:eusa_wall

Does this for me and Matt Garner too, it's a **** build of Firefox IMO and I have been forced to use Chrome.

download chrome; http://www.google.co.uk/chrome
or alternatively use opera for just a couple of days, until it's fixed; http://www.opera.com/download/
or you could just download the older firefox 3.0.x versions until it's fixed; http://9down.com/Mozilla-Firefox-3-0-14-214084/
until it gets updated.

thanks ~ stefan.

I already have chrome ;) Is this issue going to be fixed in a couple of days? Older versions don't work for me still... As I stated in the first post.

My PC has gone slow too, IDK why... It happpens to MSN aswell now... sign in, 10 seconds it disconnects me. I tried rebooting.

[StefanWolves]

May be an internet problem, check all your connections or summin? if you haven't already, or you may have a virus. IDK, worth checking?

[shizzle]

I resetted my router. I think it's a virus, but my computer hasn't detected anything..?

[StefanWolves]

Use ESET Smart Security 4.0 if you're gonna scan.

[shizzle]

Is that the bluey one? I have the green one..

[StefanWolves]

You have the Anti Virus then?

Thanks, but it's a little off-topic.

It's a major issue with Firefox and not our computer specs.

[Teabags]

Has your firewall blocked Firefox? It can do at times. You have to make an exception in your firewall settings.
Internet > Change Firewall Settings > Exceptions > Tick Firefox
Allow exceptions should be on too.

Hope this helps.

Sweet, one more thing before I rep. Which one do I untick for the the task bar to be the same?

Nah, I did say it was a bit slow:D.

he hasn't really help, we should get rep!

have you tried doing a system restore? sounds nooby, but it's a last resort. :P

Basically just click skip and all your taskbar items will be still running. then click Switch to gaming mode. then you will see all the unnessecary programmes being turned off.

Wireless Network Connection?

Bottom right corner. Shows connection bar.

No like it changes colour... well yeah and the effects, I want to keep those, I and I want to know how.

Yeah, I think it's ticked already, I checked.

Hmmm I get ads on IE pop-ups... it's definitely something I installed :( I can't trace it.

Hmm I don't quite understand rofl. Ill just tell you what i do.

Start Game Booster> Click button: switch to gaming mode> Click bottom right of the box: Skip> Then minimise to Taskbar :D

Have you got SpyBot Search and Destroy.
Adblock Plus
if it is caused all by the same popup company e.g. Bignet daddy, you delete that from Program files

:( I have W7, and transparency effect, when I goto gaming mode it goes a solid colour -.- I wanted to keep that and the shadow effects & minimize effect... I know the stuff in the task bar already.. :l

SpyBot SnD failed for me, doesn't work I believe. I'll check adblock plus, but I don't think it blocks these ones? I can't remember the Program, I downloaded a lot :(

I'd like to keep my OS healthy and use CCleaner to uncheck certain process started from the first start that I don't need to be started...

Ahhh There must be a background programme that makes the transparency run.

emm I thought you used Vista hmmm...
If it makes your computer faster coud you not live with the transparency being temporarily off? :L

And anyway its not permanent so d/w :L

[Black_Apalachi]

I've used FF for years and it's always been great until about a couple of months ago it kept crashing and being really slow so I had a nice excuse to try out Chrome. Haven't gone back since :).

i've been using chrome since their beta stage (1.0.x) - never ever gone back to firefox, it's so over rated IMO.

LOL, nice..:eusa_danc

[Flisker]

I'm using 3.5.3 and mine hasn't crashed one and still working as normal, so I wonder what's different to make yours crash and mine still working normally

As far as I can tell, usage is the only thing really. Sounds stupid but maybe it's only happeneing to those of us who have used it the longest.

[Flisker]

I used mine all day and have had firefox installed since 3.0.x or even 2.x not sure now but it's been a long time.

[xxMATTGxx]

I didn't have problems with the latest Firefox until I had to reinstall Windows Vista after a hard drive failure. Ever since then Firefox has been crap. So I had to switch over to Chrome.

:( NO! Probably because cause I installed something in the hard drive? Hmmm... It was working for 10 mins, then it decided to crash...

If it's about usage (doubt it), then no wonder...

[Blob]

Seems to crash for me on vista, but not on 7.

[shizzle]

I'm on 7..

I did a complete remove, uninstall, remove any left over files, remove any registry keys etc and then reinstalled and now it doesn't crash, screw you chrome, FIREFOX WINS ALL DAH TIME!

firefox sucks, all i want a browser to do, is be safe, fast, and not buggy, and that's chrome.

[shizzle]

What a coincidence, it works fine now!

Some of us find Firefox addons very useful, so it may suck for you, but to me, it's fantastic.

i use various add-ons, but chromes simplicity and speed wins me over all the time, plus it's still being developed, at a fast rate, add-ons may well be in the pipe lines. :)

[Black_Apalachi]

It's weird how as soon as Chrome came along, FF went **** (for me anyway) :P.

[PaulMacC]

Always crashes for me too.

[StefanWolves]

chrome is getting VERY good though, google have done it the right way, made it super fast, and are slowly adding more features, like the themes, and add-ons in the future. :)

[Stephen!]

Chrome 3 has started to crash quite a lot for me in the last few days.

[shizzle]

spybot SnD / system restore fixed it 4 mehh.

[Black_Apalachi]

Chrome hasn't crashed for me yet but still it's not super fast. I don't think it's as good or fast as FF or even Opera were when I first used them, but it's still been a very reliable alternative up to now.

my chrome is still lightning, even with a theme on it.

LOL, never knew they did themes:rolleyes:

[GommeInc]

The latest Firefox version seems to be horrifically bad. I had to system restore this XP laptop because it was having problems playing videos and it took about 5 minutes to start-up which is quite bad, as well as having laggy moments, and it looked as though it was a Firefox issue (considering this laptop is rarely used and the only thing that had changed was Firefox, and maybe a few updates).
