Unhappy Trouble with Firefox?

I've been using Firefox as my primary browser for some time, I like it better than MSIE. But in the last couple of weeks it crashes several times a day. Is this happening to anyone else?

Same here. Not sure why yet. I upgraded once to try to fix it. No luck.

I also use this browser. I keep IE also. I would try removing Firefox from your computer and then re-downloading using another browser. If you don't have another working browser I dunno.
Good luck.

I have used it for years. It is just recently it has been crashing. Here is my version:
3.6.13 and there are no updates available. It could be one of the many addons I have installed that is not fully compatible with an update on firefox I got about 3 months ago. That is my best guess. I will try to check out which one it is today.

I disabled most of my addon. It may be a few days before I know because firefox crashed about twice a week. JJ

No problems with Firefox here, but I find Opera much faster -- but it doesn't work with Villages tee time system.

I was a Firefox fan until I tried Google Chrome. I prefer Chrome.

I used to be a Firefox user for years, but it really started getting bad. The bugs were not fixed and it would freeze as yours has. I urge you to try GoogleChrome. It's faster; you can transfer your bookmarks from Fox easily. Give it a try. I did and never looked back.

Default I agree with your comments on Chrome... but

I have become attached to may addons (extensions) in Firefox that are not there yet in Chrome.

No problems here with my FireFox. Works well with my different computers and different Operating Systems. (XP, Vista, and Windows 7).
First place I'd look for a problem is with anti-spyware systems. McAfee and Norton sometimes don't play well with others.
