Random Crashes

Matt.M · 12-04-2006, 09:40 PM

Firefox randomly stops responding. I'm not sure how else to describe this, except that i'll be doing ANYTHING, it varies a LOT, and i'll have to end the process and start it up again. Any general troubelshooting I can do?

There a number of things that could potentially cause that. Mozilla has a page regarding crashes that might help:

Or this one that deals with hanging. Perhaps this is more the case:

If those don't work for you then here's the troubleshooting section for Firefox: Standard Diagnostics -Firefox
