Firefox keeps crashing

[ONY]

Hiya guys,

just got my new laptop and it has Vista on it. The problem im having is Firefox keeps crashing on me. Ive done the scans and there doesn't seem to be any problems with trojans and stuff. So i was wondering if you had any ideas why this would be happening? Im using Firefox 3.0. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated thanks. :D

That's weird Ony :confused:

 

Ok uninstall it completely and re-install it via here.

The latest version as you can see is 3.0.5

I used to have that on my laptop too, what does it say when it crashes?

What happens?

That;s if wolfey hasn't solved it already :P

For me, luckily it just went away after time but it went through a period where it would crash everytime I used it.

Hiya Bob and Polo,

havent tried unistalling and re-installing yet. Later after i sent this thread it seemed to stay open ok and ive yet to see if it crashes today.When it did keep crashing, it couldn't send the crash reports either. :(

Do you think i should wait and see if it happens again before i re-install? Many thanks as always for your help. :D

Do you have the latest version though Fee?

 

Look under Help then About Mozilla Firefox and it will tell you your version.

Yes 3.0.5 is the latest version at the moment.

Weird that it should crash though.

Let's hope it stays up from now on :P
