Anyone else having FF issues of late?
I've been noticing a lot more crashes with Firefox of late (minimum of once/day). I can't pin it down to any paticular upgrade, but the oh-so-helpful "This program crashed, send report to Microsoft?" box keeps claiming it's an issue with the xpcom_core.dll, so I don't think it has anything to do with any of my extensions. For the record, I'm running 2.0.0.7 with Redshift v2.0; I have speed dial, firebug, yslow, web developer, colorzilla, and mouse guestures.
I'm not really looking for product support, just to see if anyone else is having issues...
EDIT: It crashed again, so I was able to get the actual name of the .dll that windows was blaming.

I run Ubuntu all day for 8+hrs, and Firefox crashes at least 5 times a day.
I am beginning to think i need to format though, because ive started using linux in June, and haven't formated since. I still have all the crud from when i was learning.
Ok.. so its more like 10 times a day, but i usually have at least 3 Virtual Desktops, each with at least one Firefox open, and then Multiple tabs in each. I <3 multitasking.

Something on tv-links crashes safari too. I suspect it's got something to do with crappy Flash code.shiznatix wrote:I have been having troubles too. When I watch videos on tv-links.co.uk and I close a video window, I have to force quite the browser and reopen it sometimes. I am thinking of switching to opera.
ps. If you havn't checked out tv-links, for the love of god do so.

You can change (in Firefox's options) the default settings for handling mp3 and video links.Kieran Huggins wrote:Quicktime kills FF for me - I have to pay close attention to filetypes I click on, since an MP3 or non-flash video will kill it.
My Firefox has been freezing from time to time as well.. two or three times per day, maybe. But that could be because I tend to multitask-- working on my game, reading/posting on forums, watching music videos on YouTube. And also could be because this is my laptop that I've been using (my desktop PC is not functioning at the moment.. I think it's the video card's fault, but I don't have a spare [AGP up to 8x] card to try out to see if that's it-- the primary hard drive was also getting faulty, too).

My only gripe with FF is memory usage. I have curbed that by spreading the load across four browsers. Anything Ajax intensive goes to Opera. Anything that needs to load fast goes to IE. Anything that I feel doesn't belong in IE, Opera or FF goes to Safari. The rest goes to FF. This keeps FF peak memory usage to a reasonable 250MB by the end of the day.
