whenever I click anandtech forum then FF crashed so many times so FF does not like Anandtech forum at all? What should I do to prevent from it crash?

AT is running fine on Firefox 1.01 here, but I have noticed that FF crashes more frequently since v1.0. However, I think it could be due to some of the plugins that I run.

Have you tried disabling some or all of your 3rd party plugins?

I think I've isolated the crashes on the same few pages I encounter can be stopped by stopping loading before the ad servers respond. See if turning off images doesn't prevent the crash.

Are you submitting talkback reports when it crashes? Can you post the talkback IDs here?

Firefox 1.01 crashed twice on me on the first session of usage; I've used it only sparingly since then. My bank's Flash applet doesn't work properly either.

In daily usage, I can't recall Firefox 1.0 ever crashing on me, but it may have happened. Nor can I recall the last time Mozilla crashed on me.

Same here. I just tried playing a "Redline" racing game on Macromedia's site and the game crashed right when I was about to start a race! I usually don't play too many flash games, but decided to try this one out.. and it crashed..:confused:

Since v1.0.1 I've noticed more crashes than with v1.0. I wish I could still download 1.0, instead... or hope 1.0.2 is not too far off. Currently using IE with all the Firefox crashes, but miss the tabs:(

Make sure talkback is enabled and submit talkback reports when it crashes. 1.0.1 really shouldn't crash any more than 1.0 - very few changes were included.

I do not have any 3rd party plugins installed.

Never heard of talkback and where do I find it?

both of FF 1.0 and 1.01 always crash while browsing anandtech forum.

So I take it Anandtech has some Flashes?

Well, except for 1.0-ish versions are very crash-happy compared to prior (0.9.x) versions. There are/were some javascript-related "crashes" that weren't app-crashes at all, they in fact triggered an actual app-quit somehow, without the user requesting it. (I leave my browser open all the time, overnight even, and when I returned to it in the morning, I thought that someone had messed with my PC, because FF was no longer running, and there was no crash listed in the App Event Log. Another fellow had the same problem, in a thread on MozillaZine, and he opened a bug on the issue, I haven't checked it since, since I obtained an updated JS3250.DLL to use. No crashes/exits since, for the most part.) Overall uptime/stability was markedly better during the 0.8 - 0.9.x period, IMHO. However, newer versions have much better performance, so it's a bit of a tradeoff.

I had to clear the cache folder to stop the crash it is bit working okay and also I had to disable Sygate personal firewall it is working okay. but I might try to disable AntiVir and see what happens here.

I installed Firefox 1.0.1 this morning,so far it has been rock solid and fast.

Rottie could be anything that`s causing the problem,do you have any unusual extensions,run your anti-virus scanner as well.

I`ve a couple of themes installed and the weather extension in my toolbar plus macromedia flash,all other settings are at default, and I`m still waiting for my first crash.

no one cares I can see...

You sure it`s a Firefox problem?...Run Memtest86+ to test your ram,also uninstall Firefox completely and delete the Firefox folder as well after,then reinstall Firefox 1.0.1.

You could also delete all the history temporary files and cache as well.

With Sygate Personal Firewall and AntiVir enabled might have caused FF crash. I had both disabled and it seems fairly ok. I don't know if both did not like FF. Anyone has problem with Sygate and Antivir?

I am going to try with latest 1.02 version if the problems go away.
