As the topic says, my firefox will crash constantly, usually 10+ times a day, just browsing random web sites. Usually I can see the crash coming, when the browser says "not responding". After the recovery, even the "report crash" dialog box will launch firefox again, and instantly crash me.

I tried uninstalling everything, deleted cooking, cache, the whole lot, but it still crashes. Even on my laptop :|

I guess find out how you can get it to crash, and test out each extension and find the one that's causing the problem.

Create a fresh profile and see if you still get it to crash. If you disabled the Profile Manager, you can start it from the Run dialog:

firefox -ProfileManager

Technically safe-mode should do pretty much the same thing, but your profile could also be messed up, which safe-mode wouldn't affect.

It's quite possibly a bug in Firefox 3.0.4. I've had some instability as well.

I just got frustrated and removed firefox, deleted all folders called firefox, and profiles. Now I am doing a fresh clean install, and see how this plays out.

Did you also remove all references in the registry? j/k That usually doesn't matter. Plus, a lot of things seem to use Gecko for various reasons, so removing everything called "Mozilla" might harm some installed apps. In other words, be careful what you delete. ^_^

You took that post too literally. I just removed all firefox files in profile files\Firefox, and the AppData, along with the profiles in firefox.

Haven't had a lot of time to play around with firefox yet, but so far everything is running smooth

I have the same propblem but not just for flash websites, but I found that if I know which page cause it, I can open it using ie tab plugins.

neowin is one of those problematic website for me :( .

Same exact problem here. I could have just been browsing Neowin (nothing flashy oriented, etc) and out of nowhere I get the "We are sorry Firefox must close down" pop up. Happens somewhat frequently. Very annoying.

I am using Linux (Ubuntu) and it used to do that to me when I installed flash version 10-- So I still had the residual configuration of 9 and used that to restore it back.. Seems as if to me it is a Flash Issue.

You could also try this version of Fire Fox and see if it still occurs..

Portable Applications Of Firefox Which runs just in the directory that it is unzipped to-- Though it does recommend not to use the auto update feature.

That would be my choice if you think something is wrong with the install or safe mode does not work.
