Moderators rridgely Posted January 20, 2006 Moderators Share Posted January 20, 2006 Could be anything from a bad extension to just a bad install. Maybe try reinstalling and if that dosent work make a new profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabacontroller Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Its extremely weird. Sometimes it crashes alot then it goes through peroids of not crashing at all. Maybe its the extensions that use the server. I have gotten rid of 2 extensions. I use the other extensions because I really like them but I'll see if that helped. Re-installing Firefox didn't help but I'm going to see getting rid of Forecast Fox and Yahoo Toolbar works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators rridgely Posted January 20, 2006 Moderators Share Posted January 20, 2006 all those extensions sound legit but the google one is a beta. Try dumping it and see if that fixes your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grabacontroller Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 make a back up of your bookmarks by going to bookmarks>manage bookmarks>File>Export. I didn't know that you could save a copy of your bookmarks. Wow! Also, I forgot that you can disable your extensions and you don't have to get rid of them.

grabacontroller Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Did you even try what I said? Dump the google beta extension and see if it works. Yes I followed everybody's directions and also by the way Firefox has a problem with the history part and if it gets too large Firefox starts crashing. People have known Firefox for crashing.

I set my cahche to 500mb if that was your issue then there is the fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of that history thing. Its a security flaw in Firefox that causes a Denial of Service Attack. That one day I had Firefox crash on me 10 times in a row. Which is a bit odd. Most of the time its fine but its just certain times. Mostly when my sister is using the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
