Firefox crashing with torrent sites

[javarro]

Recently my firefox browser has been crashing when I goto torrent sites such as mininova, IE also crashes so does google chrome, I haven't tried opera or any others yet.

This is a fairly recent install of windows, I didn't have any issues until yesterday. Since then I've installed k lites codec pack, and adaware. I've tried uninstalling both but nothing seems to help. I can't even view the page it crashes the second I press enter. Any suggestions?

what does the event viewer say? it could be a faulty plugin.

There isn't an error when I goto tools>error console, I don't know of any other way to check, I disabled all the FF addons, which was only java quickstarter. Also, new issue, I can't even type the name of the sites into google search or it crashes the browser.

After searching the net for answers, I'm still stumped. I ran spybot and adaware, but it still didn't resolve the issue.

Try making sure you have the right addons installed. Without flash, my PC bombs out on pages with flash, for example.

probably has something to do with your addons

I have flash which I just downloaded, and java, nothing else installed that I'm aware of. Even if I type the name of the site into google search it crashes, it's like my browsers are blocking 2 sites, I've never run into a problem like this before. I'm just checking tools>addons in FF, is there something else I should be checking as well? I also tried FF in safe mode, it did the same thing. IE and google chrome do it as well.

Have you tried a new Firefox profile?

Have you tried a new Firefox profile?

I have, and it still does it, this is weeks later and I still haven't found a solution. It crashes with two popular sites on all of my browsers, I've tried IE, FF, chrome. I know this is an oldish post, but does anyone else have any ideas?

faulty ram?

try linux livecd

update network driver

reinstall windows

From what I've read on other forums it's something on the site, an ad I guess, that is being blocked, but I couldn't find any solution in any of those posts either.

I guess whatever blocks the ad, basically blacklists the known websites containing it. Annoying, but oh well, least I have an idea what is causing it. Thanks for the help.

Did the Firefox crash reporter catch the problem? If so, type "about:crashes" in Firefox location bar, click on one of the crash reports generated, and post a link to the report here; the info contained in the report can offer a lot of insight into what happened (much more useful than something in the Windows event log).

If the Firefox crash reporter didn't catch the problem (no reports in about:crashes that correspond to your crashes), then the crash is probably caused by a plugin (e.g., Flash; note that extensions are not plugins, despite some people calling them that) because plugins usually do not play well with the crash reporter.

If it is happening with both firefox and IE, it is a plugin or something else on your computer causing it.
