Firefox Crashes

Update 18 Oct 2009: After trying Firefox 3.6 for a while and experiencing the same crashes, I downgraded again to FF 3.5.3. I reset the previous setting and removed all previous add-ons and extensions (Google Toolbar, Alexa Sparky, Fireshot, Abduction, etc).

The result is amazing. I no longer face those annoying crashes. I don’t use any Firefox extension now except Searchstatus which function is to know Google PR, Alexa rank of websites you’re visiting.

In hindsight, I thought Google toolbar or Alexa Sparky or both that caused the Firefox crashes in my case.

When your Firefox windows closing unexpectedly it’s called Firefox crashes.

I experience this quiet often especially after I upgraded into FF 3.5.3 (the latest version).

Some possible causes and comprehensive solutons can be found here include:

• ExtensionsProblematic extensions may cause crashes.
• Plugins are programs that work within Firefox and allow you to experience multimedia content such as video, animation or sound
• Other installed software
• Crash when downloading. Try clearing the download history. In the Firefox menu, go to “Tools -> Downloads” and click “Clean Up” (Firefox 2) or “Clear List” (Firefox 3).
