Josephine Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Firefox has started randomly hanging on me, so I'm being forced to use IE, which I'd rather not do, plus I'm sure having programs crash isn't great for your computer. Anyone, got any suggestions as to why or a possible fix? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Campbell Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 You tried reinstalling it? Quite often helps Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 What version you running? Since upgrading to 1.5 Beta 1 mine hasnt crashed once :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I'm now running 1.5 beta and it's still crashing. The one thing that makes it crash every time is trying to open http://www.b3ta.com/board/ can anyone else tell me if this is a problem for them? It's particularly annoying as I'm on B3ta a lot and it's never caused me problems before the last few days :unsure: Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 b3ta loads fine here. Does anything elce crash or is it just firefox? You could try removing C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\Mozilla but that would remove all your themes/settings/extensions but might cure the problem. You could try renaming it 'Mozilla Backup' or something then if it doesnt cure your problem you can just rename it back to 'Mozilla' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 MSN usually stops responding at the same time, I tried that 'Mozilla Backup' idea you suggested to no avail. I fear I may be looking at a format, but that'll take so much effort to back up files I don't know whether I can be bothered ;) Computers suck :D Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a problem with it crashing my Firefox. Maybe its having issues loading up the images or maybe something in the script?

RicH_87 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 might as-well post this here, i currently have the red arrow type symbol in my FF brouser, meaning more gay updates. But all previous updates i've got have caused my brouser to not open due to the "installation cannot complete due to firefox being in use, please close all windows blah blah blah". Everytime i've had to uninstall firefox, restart pc, re-download firefox, install, restart pc again, and then can get on. Anyone else get problems when clicking the stupid update icon?

Josephine Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 OK, discovery the B3ta board also makes IE freeze, I think I may die through lack of hummus :) Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
