FireFox CRASHES ALL THE TIME

So the link, (for instance http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/i ... 1022090902) stays on the web, accessible to me if I want to go back after a few and compare them myself?


Stormy1--try FF in Safe-Mode, and let us know if it still crashes. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Yep... you and the whole world.

One of the reason the Mozila Crashes would likely be a faulty RAM. Please check your system's memory by using any memory checking software. If you find any read/write errors by running that software, you could probably save the day by replacing your machine's memory. This would probably fix the problem.

I have same issue. Firefox started with it's new version to crash once a day. Now it crashes right away. Even if I try just to remove my addons "oooops,firefox crashed" message. This latest version seems to have a lot of crashing and is very very buggy.

Sigh.
Try safe mode http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If that does not work try a new profile http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_ne ... on_Windows

Try checking your RAM. With a RAM that has read/write errors could cause this. In that case, I am afraid, Firefox would crash in safe mode and/or if addons are disabled.

Of course bad RAM with crash every program on the machine, including windows. If Firefox 3.5 is the only program that crashes, and all your other programs run properly, it is more likely to be a bug in Firefox.

If you have tried safemode and a new profile and it has not worked try this:
Remove Firefox using Windows add/remove.
Download Firefox again.
It will suggest install the program to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"
Change that to install in "C:\Program Files\Firefox"

I totally agree with you on that, but surprisingly with defective RAM, (not a totally unserviceable one) the crash occurs with Firefox as well as IE, especially when multiple windows are open or more graphics-containing pages are opened. After that, it becomes chronic that each time you reopen Firefox, it shows only the crash warning. The situation gets better when you restart the machine and then open Firefox or IE. Maybe it is because the good part of the RAM is already occupied by the Windows at start up. When the left over is accessed and when it comes to the defective part, the last loaded program crashes.

Thus, to delineate the RAM's condition and to rule out that RAM is the culprit, I think it would be better if checked with a software like MemTest.

I'm having the same problems as a lot of others, that is that Firefox is crashing every few minutes every time I open it. I have tried running in safe mode, but it still crashes in that too. I tried disabling all my extensions, they almost all were anyway & it has not made any difference. I have not tried making a new profile since I read it won't make any difference. I keep sending in crash reports, but this is getting really old. I hope someone finds an answer quick! Otherwise I may have to find another browser to use & that would be a shame since I've been using Firefox for years & have really liked it up to this point.

In the address bar type about:crashes and copy and paste a couple of the links under Report ID.

The same problem of mine solved after finding out a RAM error and replacing it. How about trying that on yours too before changing your browser?

My Mozilla Fireox crashes very frequently when I'm browsing, uses back page,
open a new tab, or leave it for few hours since it's been updated to the
latest version 2..0.0.9.

I've tried uninstall and reinstall but it still happens. Is there a fix
patch I can download or update from?

Please help. It is getting annoying to have to restart session or new
session so many times a day.
