OT: Fire Fox Crashing
 

Has any one else noticed lately that Fire Fox has been excessively crashing?

I am running v1.5.0.9 and lately, since the last update, I have noticed that FF seems to be crashing for more frequently than with previous versions.

I am considering installing FF 2.0 - any feed back on this one?

I haven't had it crash very often. On the contrary, every time I open internet exploder it crashes when I try to close it. Very confusing.

Ha-Ha-Ha, never heard that one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I upgraded to FF 2.0 and man am I happy with it. I haven't had a single crash yet. Not even when I look at... um, you know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Well I have noticed that it is crashing alot on sites that are now switching over to use features that the new InternetExploder 7 uses. Sites like Myspace, youtube, and so on.

I use FF 2.0 and haven't had any problems.

I had some crashing issues when I had a lot of addons installed that conflicted. Try dumping them all, upgrading to 2.0 and adding them back a few at a time.

I get frequent crashes with firefox - usually javascript or flash errors. Good thing about 2.0 is that it restores your tabs when you reload - including filled-in text boxes.

Kwok:

It was possible to get tab session restoration with several extensions pre-2.0. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif They really need to make more extension features standard...

Yeah, a new profile is usually a good step. You can copy the bookmarks.html file over to get all of your bookmarks resetup instantly. I would suggest you extract the bookmarks.html file from your profile folder, move the profile to a backup location, then delete all firefox files and install a clean FF 2. You can manually paste the bookmarks.html file into your new profile folder without issue (probably want to close FF 2 first).
