Bigfoot Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Over the past week or two, I've noticed Firefox is randomly crashing a bunch. It mostly happens on forums when I'm entering a message. I've noticed it happening when I click the text box, and then I hit enter to go down a few spaces. Then the error message pops up and it crashes. I guess at least it saves your session so you can immediately go back though. Is this happening to anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrypnyk Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Yes. This happens to me quite a bit actually. I'd type a couple of words (in any forum) and sometimes it'll crash. Quite annoying =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shpladoink Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I haven't gotten this problem, but what does the error message say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I haven't gotten this problem, but what does the error message say? There is no error message. When you hit "Enter" while typing in your forum message, you get a box that pops up telling you that FireFox has to close (you know, the whole "Send/Don't Send" deal). Then you have to restart FireFox. This has been happening to me ever since the 2.0.0.2 upgrade, and it's getting really old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villainelle Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Weird, this hasn't happened to me at all yet, and I post a lot on various forums... What extensions are you guys running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I personally only use No Script and Adblock Plus (both up to date). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villainelle Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm using both of those too, and another dozen or so minor addons...so hmm. Is it only on certain sites, or any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 If it has a forum you can post on, it can crash there. It doesn't matter which site it is. I've had it happen here, on Gerbilfat, .org, Remod, the Super Mario 64 project site, and several other sites I visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrion Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Nope. Hasn't happened to me on either of my machines yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmuh Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 That's odd...I haven't encountered this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremespleen Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 This happens to my mum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 This happens to me all the time, but not when typing a message. If I follow a link to a thread and click the back button before it has loaded completely, Firefox will sometimes freeze and shut down completely. Needless to say, I don't like vBulletin anymore.

suzumebachi Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 this was happening to me for a while, so I went back to firefox 1.5.0.7, and I haven't had any issues since. it seems to be a problem with 2.0.0.2, so maybe there'll be a fix in the not too distant future.

CH Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hasn't happened to me in Windows or Ubuntu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 It's weird. When it happens, it will happen multiple times. Then it won't do it for days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Happened again a while ago when I clicked the reply button but regreted it the next second since I wanted to check one thing and pressed the back button. Then the thought "aww crap" crossed my mind and shortly afterwards Firefox broke down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Alright, here's what I did for the moment. As I mentioned before, all the crashing started with the 2.0.0.2 update. So, I went back and grabbed the 2.0.0.1 version of FireFox, and thus far, I've had not a single crash. Seems something happened, and currently there's nothing on Mozilla's help forum that does anything besides telling people it's not FireFox, but a plug-in. They suggest going through their standard "FireFox crashes" diagnostic, but people still say the browser crashes even after doing all the things the diagnostic says to do. I even read a post or two flat out refusing to believe that it was FireFox at all... like somehow FireFox couldn't possibly have a bug in it. I can also no longer find the threads that talked about the browser crashing to the desktop, which puzzles me. So, try going back to 2.0.0.1 and see if it helps.

suzumebachi Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Anybody tried 2.0.0.3 yet? I'm gonna give it a shot and see how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Anybody tried 2.0.0.3 yet? I'm gonna give it a shot and see how it works. That's the version I was using when I switched back to 2.0.0.1. It crashed regularly on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I used to have those kinds of crashes on 1.5.whatever, but I haven't had any since 2.0.0.0 I'm on 2.0.0.3 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 2.0.0.3 here, not any problems yet. I have read of this happening on other forums as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
