Why does firefox crash?

Why won't Firefox let me in & Crash?

  • Ok, here's what happened...I wake up one morning, started up Firefox, started to work fine...until it had that crash report thing...It was normal for that to happen to me, but now it seems that I can't get on anymore because that stupid thing keeps popping up everytime I open up Firefox....so I went & un-installed it, re-installed it & hoped it would work...nope. Nothing. Not even a nibble...Anyone know what's happening?

  • Answer:

    Don't bother with running a scan. There is a way to prevent FF from crash. First, check your add-ons. Go to Tools, then add-ons and in the "Extension" tab uninstall or disable any add-on that you don't use. This includes Java Quick Starter and Microsoft .NET Framework Assistance. Second, while in add-ons, go to the "Plugins" tab and disable any plugins that cause your browser to slow down. In particular these tree. -Adobe Acrobat, which bring up PDF files from websites onto your browser. Turning it off will prevent this and your PDF files will open externally. -get Plus Plus for Adobe. This is not needed. - Java Platform. -MetaStream -Microsoft DRM -QuickTime Plugin, which allows you to view QT video on websites -Shockwave for Director -Window Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library and finally, Window Presentation Foundation. All of the above is not needed. Third, you can tweak Firefox to run faster on your computer. The link below is video on who to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hJAt_VasTc Don't forget to restart Firefox in order for the changes to take affect. Fourth, if you download files into your computer, go to Tool then Download and delete to files from the download list. If you don't want to have any download file in the status bar in the future, go to Tools, then Option. Click on the "Privacy" icon and unchecked the box that says "Remember Download History." Finally, always, always clean out your recent history, that way Firefox can work faster. Try doing every two weeks or every month, its up to you.

Try running antivirus and anti-spyware on your computer.

This is the number one reason for a computer to crash. The files in your registry contain instructions for every program and application in your computer. When they become corrupted with errors or go missing, the computer will have a hard time running the programs, and crash as a result. It is highly recommended that you do not attempt to fix the registry yourself.The first thing you should do is to download a registry cleaner software and do a free scan on your computer.I should like to commend Registry Easy http://cleanup-comuter-run-perfectly.com to you ! The software will automatically detect all the known errors and missing entries, and then repair and restore them so you can have your computer running like new again. You can scan your pc for free! Good luck!
