I swear. The one site I visit the most, crashes FF at least 20 times a day. No other site anywhere on the net does this to me, but Digital Point. It's happened so often that I just laugh it off. No use in getting all upset over something so silly. But I'm curious, does anyone else have this problem - or do I just have some strange combination of plugins, drivers and luck?
Think it's my laptop's built in wifi chipset not liking my wifi router, but strangely most of my crashes happen whilst using Firefox to type a message into a vBulletin powered forum. There might be an actual link there, as I don't actually post that often on forums.
I find that FF has just become anothe flakey unstable POS browser... I switched to Camino, and all the problems you just described went away!
I find the change a good exuse to start the bookmark process over again. One thing I found about FF is the more Tabs you have open (and I am a tab fanatic) the more it pukes. The more autocomplete addresses it has, the more it pukes. The more book marks it has, the more it pukes. Ok, that was more than one thing.
I picked up a new intel mini a couple weeks ago, and so far, everything runs much better... I always had a problem with FF going completely blank, unless I grabbed the browser with my cursor and shook the crap out of it. It is like the re-draw on it pukes with too many tabs open.. FYI, all my problems I have described, I should state are using FF under OSX on Macs. So far, the version of OSX or type of Mac has made no difference in its behaivor.
I think my FF only crashed one time on me when i was reading (attempting to read) some 100mb text file or something. Iv been using it for years.
I may be switching to Opera...I am still deciding. FireFox seems low and seems to use a lot of memory for some reason. Don't they have problems with memory leakage with the program? I find it freezing a lot and crashing too..its become a nuissance, really.
I've never had a problem with Firefox at all.. Try looking around the Sticky Threads & Forums here... MozillaZine Firefox Support It's possible there are some other things going on with your machine...
Hi, did you make any progress on this because I have the same problem using DP; and only DP. It happens when I open my messages, or hit the reply button - it just crashes 50% of the time..... I'm using FF1.5.03 under XP Pro. Cheers, Paz.
I think I had a total of two FF crashes in the last three years, and even that might have been using one beta version or another. I never managed to get any other browser to handle so many tabs/windows as FF does without brining the machine to a halt.
Nearly everytime I goto my private message inbox and open up the message, ff crashes. Again, this only really happens at Dicepoint.
