FireFox Crashing?

BigFrank · 01-31-2009, 07:36 PM

Anyone had any problems since the release of FireFox 3.0.5? Lately, FireFox has been crashing a lot. Wanted to see if anyone else has been having issues or may know what the problem itself is. Thanks.

Fine for me on...gasp...Vista.

I had to roll back to the previous stable release on my Mac Mini running 10.5. Running fine on my powerbook running 10.4.11 though.

Running fine on my work machine (vista ultimate).

I've had trouble with google chrome...not with firefox though. I say uninstall and reinstall Frank.

Seems to have trouble loading large applets, but that could just be me.

I dont have a problem with FF and I love how its never failed me like IE seems to do

acarr · 01-31-2009, 11:50 PM

No problems here

Ashcan Bill · 02-01-2009, 12:08 AM

Nope. I'm running 3.0.5 on XP and so far it's been bulletproof.

RGD. · 02-01-2009, 12:24 AM

Just checked my version and I'm running 3.0.5 on XP Pro 64 bit with no problems.

Maybe as suggested - total remove and install again.

I have been having problems with the new version too, lots of crashes as of late, but for about 4 days it has been ok

ucubed · 02-01-2009, 03:11 AM

I've had a lot of issues with the older versions of Firefox starting with 3, however I haven't had an issue with recent updates

SmokinDuck · 02-01-2009, 04:39 AM

What does the error say when it crashes?

I was having troubles too. I un installed java and went back to a much earlier version and have had good luck so far.

Don Fernando · 02-01-2009, 04:59 AM

works fine for me, on XP

MadAl · 02-01-2009, 07:02 AM

Definitely! Almost given up using it entirely. Began before 3.05 for me, thought the patch might've been a fix but it wasn't.

I have an XP, and mine crashes when I try to go past the firewall at work. It was fine before I had uprade. Now I use IE to do work from home.

Ok quick update, just reinstalled firefox and it is still crashing and giving me the same reasons as before.

Prospector · 02-01-2009, 10:55 AM

I am running Firefox 3.0.5 under Vista Home Premium with no noticeable problems.

floydp · 02-01-2009, 10:58 AM

It has crashed on my Macbook OSX Tiger on occasion, although its rare but still more often than Anita's OSX Leopard. But FF does on hers with some printing pages, bill paying prints that doesn't occur on mine. Maybe its a problem having to do with your antivirus program. Seem to remember a while back that certain editions of AVG didn't get a long with newer versions of FF on windows. I could be wrong though.
