Anyone else experience a lot of crashes using FireFox? I'm seriously considering moving to Chrome. Had Chrome loaded for a while just was use to using FF but know it is more of a pain, always crashing....:confused:

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device PRBuzz 09-20-2010, 09:24 AM I had FireFox working fine under Vistax64, now upgraded to Win7x64. iamskippy 09-20-2010, 10:01 AM forgot to mention the upgrades. fresh install of 7 rules. have ypou tried IE8, mine has been working flawless and is out performing the other's. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Raven 09-20-2010, 10:52 AM still runnin xp here... :wall:- slow - seems like- but no crashin of FF to speak of i was watching HULU yesterday,,,, right that new show Nikita ..... i wanted to see it and even though i have FIOS that flick was stopping and hesitating often WTF ? so i go to see what else was running with "whats running" and terminated all other unnecessary programs ect. and it made no difference. :doh: from what i've read tho, Microsoft is about to surpass firefox and leave them standing still - fairly soon - > with windows 9 on the horizon.... as far as speed is concerned basswipe 09-20-2010, 03:07 PM I'm running FF under Linux,Vista and Win7.No issues.Outperforms IE8 on the Windows machines.Not a big fan of Chrome as I hate its layout and it has caused both Vista and 7 to crash. Give the latest FF version 3.6.10 a try if you haven't already. PRBuzz 09-20-2010, 03:40 PM I was up to 3.6.10 and same issues: REMOVED! I've been using FF for over 2 years but this is not necessarily a loyalty game. Chrome gets 1st shot then IE8, both installed and running. basswipe 09-20-2010, 04:15 PM forgot to mention the upgrades. fresh install of 7 rules. have ypou tried IE8, mine has been working flawless and is out performing the other's. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device I agree.Upgrades under any OS are problematic at best and downright disastrous at worst.Backup user profiles/directories on a seperate partition and do a clean install is what I do.Unfortunately a clean install of Windows runs big $. iamskippy 09-20-2010, 04:26 PM I was up to 3.6.10 and same issues: REMOVED!

I upgraded 6 months ago to Win7 (clean install with hard drive formatting), only the last 6-8 weeks has FF been acting up. I regularly clean/scan the computer for junk! derf 09-21-2010, 06:33 AM i was having a few probs with ff . deleted it and did a clean new install . all is good again :) vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
