Firefox 0.9 occasionally crashes in forums

[redbeard1]

This just started happening to me recently. It was doing it in 0.8 also, so I upgraded to 0.9, and it still happens. The message that gets sent to MS after the crash is no help. It had been working fine since the forums upgrade. I know that once in a while the text looks goofy loading a page, but a refresh usually clears it up. I have not had it happen any place else that I browse to. Anyone else seeing this with an alternative browser?

Firefox isn't crashing for me. Could be some javascript errors on your machine? Maybe install the new Sun Java JRE from here and see if it helps? just a guess...

I have noticed a problem in the past couple days with the forums and Firefox .9 too. I can't do links anymore through the reply window. Click on http icon, paste a link, click okay and it closes the box. Never asks me for a title for the link. Does the same if I hand key in the link, too. But then again, once in awhile it works fine. Frustrating. I've had to switch to IE to do linking.

I'm sure it's some extension or something that I added to my usercontent.css file that is causing the problem.

Edit: Nevermind. It was the adblock extension that was blocking the pop-up window for the URL. It was allowing it, but not allowing it to open another window.

The page text looks like it is too big.

?

Java != JavaScript

JavaScript is handled within the browser.

That's odd, I have firefox .9.1 and have run across no problems on this thread. HMMM

Maybe you can try to download the latest version of firefox 0.9.2

I've been using 0.9 since pretty much the day it came out, and never had a crash(well, except for on my work computer, which had a faulty DIMM which caused lots of things to crash, so I'm not counting that one ).

I've experienced crashing also. It only happens when I'm replying to a post and I push the "END" key to scroll directly to the end of my message. I get an error message, the browser crashes, then things pop up to try to get me to send de-bugging information to both Microsoft and Mozilla.

Firefox 0.9.1.
