Hey guys,

Recently I've been having a lot of problems with my Firefox. For example if I want to enter the NFL website, or MSN home, or many other websites my Firefox just crashes. I'm sure it would do that with many other websites that I don't use :/

Any ideas?

Thanks

Update: I just tried re-installing it but it's still happening :S

I thought it might be one of the add-ons causing the problems :/

how much memory do you have? and keep an eye on how much memory firefox is using right before it crashes. It could be running out.

you're right to think an add-on may be the source of the issue... with all add-ons uninstalled, does it still crash? If it does, we're up a creek; if it doesn't, start adding one add-on at a time until you can get it to crash again to figure out which one(s) is/are the problem.

LiNuX's idea is good too, does it only crash when you have umpteen tabs open?

this firefox support article about when only certain pages crash it (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes+when+loading+certain+pages) may help you with your problem... or at least provide a starting point for you to diagnose the problem!

Good luck!

Aye, I had a similar issue not that long ago which was caused by a slightly over-excitable add-on. As soon as I got rid of it the problems simply went away.
