Firefox users, help!

**Pharnakes** · 10-19-2007, 23:00

I don't know if anyone else has any problems like this, but firefox crashes every time I try to view the guild with it, ussualy only after about 10 seconds or less, but only if I am signed in, anyone got any ideas as to what might be causing the problem.

P.S. It wasn't like this 3 or 4 months ago, but then I went inactive, comming back about a week ao, I find this problem has arrisen.

Thanks.

Do you have any plugins or addons installed for FireFox?

EDIT: Also what's your operating system?

**Pharnakes** · 10-19-2007, 23:04

No plugins, windows xp home edition.

Are you running the latest version of Firefox? 2.0.0.8? If not, update.

Also try clearing your cache, go to Tools, then Clear Private Data, kill everything except your saved passwords. If that still doesn't work, then repeat this step and delete everything, including saved passwords.

See if that helps.

That seems to have cured it, thank you both.

Edit, hmm, seems I spoke to soon, though this definately seemed to help, it ran for nearly 5 mins (a record) before crashing...

How many tabs do you have open?

Perhaps it's an script running on the background interrupting your navigation. Try with other pages, if the problem seems to affect them all, then open your task manager and look for unknown processes running on the background, try to find what they do and if they're not necessary close them. Try closing all unnecesary processes. If this doesn't work run an anti-virus or anti-adware/spam, then a registry clean. If this doesn't work either. Uninstall FireFox and install the latest version. Open the explorer and don't change any option. If this still doesn't work, I believe you're out of luck. Try using another explorer and if the problem persists you'll have to make either a Restore System from Windows or format your machine.

Have you tried anything of what I told you on my last post. Maybe that would help you, those are the steps I take always when I find an unknown problem.
