Firefox crashing

Has anybody had the problem of Firefox 1.0.1 crashing? If I open more than a couple of tabs, it crashes.
And I use a *lot* of tabs. At present, the Mozilla Quality Feedback Agent shows 3 items sent, and 4 more
in queue, all from the last 12 hours.

I have had the same issue, and it seems to happen to me when I start to
add more extensions.

This is why I think that FF has a way to go, and I now use a combo of
Opera (paid) and Maxthon (MSIE wrapper). I just cant rely on FF for
those mission-critical tasks, such as online banking, etc. Sad, because
I really like FF too -- it has a lot of potential and those extensions
are very useful.

But then again, FF is very stable for me on Debian. So, likely a lot of
these stability issues are bloody M$'s OS fault in the first place. I
wouldnt be suprised.

1.0 used to crash occasionally, but no problem with 1.01 so far.

You should take this question to the Mozillazine boards. There are links in
your Bookmarks. You may have some kind of conflict.

Since 1.0, Firefox "crashes" for me almost every time I close it. Get an
application error. The Feedback Agent has never successfully sent anything
either.

It's possible, but then again, loads of ppl use it on Windows
systems without problems (including me).

Have you already tried uninstalling/disabling extensions selectively
to see if there's one actually causing the problem?

I've tried that, as FireFox and Thunderbird have had protracted unexplained
failures.

T/B's only a browser, but in F/F reliability is critical.

The Forums in both cases completely ignored my problems, alonf=g with other
posters who had the same sort of troubles, as I could tell from their
posts.

I had to conclude that the distributors chose to ignore any problem that
baffles them, and the apps are far from ready for use.

I'm waiting for that situation to change

It depends on what you use them for. The point has been made that you might
have extensions that are conflicting. Extensions are made by users and are
not part of Firefox.

Sorry, but your posts are starting to sound like the ones by the Microsoft
trolls on the Mozillazine boards.

That's another thing they accuse you of if you go there with a genuine
problem, that they cant solve, so want to ignore.

I think it demonstrates more about them than than about me

Maybe nobody knew the answer to your question. Have you ever considered
that? The Mozilla boards are mianly populated by other users just like us.

But you've taken the tack that "I was ignored" so I'm gonna flame the users
and the product.

Have you tried any of the suggestions you were given here? Did you try any
of the ones you were given there?

Try running Firefox with no extensions installed, then install the ones you
want, one by one. See if Firefox still crashes.

I have programs crash that are commercial programs developed for Windows,
like my Canon digicam software. IE 5.5 crashed on a daily basis when I had
it.

If IE works for you and you don't mind it's security issues, then use it.
It's all the same to me.

With the Avant shell and thirdparty protection, fine.

But like I said it's only a browser, after finding no answers I ditched
it and forgot it.

Thunderbird thoroughly b**** up and lost a load of emails - just like
Outlook Express did before it

No, but it seems slower compared than Mozilla 1.75, on broad band I wait
and wait for pages to be rendered in FF 101. This is the second time
I've tried to use it, preparing for the demise of Mozilla suite, which I
prefer, I'm hoping the new version of Opera loads faster than before.

Mike, you are right on the money about them throwing around the word
"Troll" if anybody complains, instead of singing the praises of FF.

Then you have a problem of some kind. FF 1.01 loads pages faster than any
browser I've ever had on 56K dialup.

I think if someone goes over there with a highhanded attitude like Mike
came in here with, they'll get short shrift, just like they would anywhere
else. You make suggestions, they ignore them, and then continue to whine
about the product and it's developers and users.
