FireFox
 

Is it just me, or is this current version (3.07) as unstable as .....some of the psychotic people on here that know exactly who I'm talking about?

it fucking crashes daily....and i have to end the process before i can restart it.

wtf!

I'm not having any problems with it.

my laptop is okmostly....with vista on it...

the home desktop and this POS are both XP and crash or lock up regularly. it uses a shit ton of memory.

I've been noticing that too, but thought it was due to some antivirus software and other software updates our IT people installed on my PC.

OH, it's happening to you guys too? It keeps happening to my old desktop, but my newer laptop is fine. XP v Vista. I thought my desktop was just shitting on me.

Check your add-ons, some of them really eat up memory and make things unstable

I've got 3.0.7, no problems here or at home (2 XP boxen and 1 Vista)

I'm using SeaMonkey, which is a cousin of FireFox, on two Vista laptops. I'm not having any problems.

will try this....

i did have a few non necessary ad-ons running....

I'm using Firefox on an older PC with XP home on it, no problems.

I have it running with no issues on Linux, OS X, and Windows.

Check your add-in programs, because some of them will cause issues.

Also, check your toolbars, as there are a few third-party toolbars that can cause issues.

Additionally, if you have an AntiVirus program that "plugs in" to the browser (yes, McAfee and Symantec, I mean you!), you may want to check for updates to that.

I use 3.0.7 on my XP Pro desktop at home with no problems and also on my dual-core Vista laptop. I have no problems I can trace to Firefox. Now, VISTA is unstable as hell and I'm about to chuck it and go to Ubuntu. If only I can figure out the config files to work with the hibernate and sleep and such.

Any gurus want to help?

Brian,

What kind of laptop are you running Vista on? I'm not trying to sound strange here, but I've actually had it running incredibly stable on my Dell Optiplex 320 (Pentium 4 3 Ghz, 2GB RAM, ATI chipset with x300 graphics). Are you running a Toshiba?

I've got my 3.07 version fairly loaded up with add-ons with no problems other than a slow load time. My computer is a very underpowered 2.0 ghz single core with 1.5GB ram.

If it persists, I recommend you disable your add-ons one by one and see if it improves.

PS. Darn. I really should have read through the entire thread. UT already suggested it.

I have several times gotten messages telling me that a website will not resolve, and it just kind of gives up.

MS Exploiter hops right onto them, though.
