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.

Have not had any difficulty with Firefox.

It's my primary browzer as well and no problems of any kind.

Firefox has been working flawlessly for me.

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.

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.

I use FF daily... no crashes.

One more vote for IE8 :MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:

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.:boxing2:
