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

Except Netscape 4.x.
Of course, there's some difference in f'cionality of the two. ;)

I think if someone goes over there with a highhanded attitude like
Mike came in here with, they'll get short shrift,

ICBA to argue

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

Have you ever tested your ram?

Yup, 512, all good.

OE5 was because I compacted my datab...DON'T DO THAT!!..ases.

They said that they'd fixed that bug in OE6.

The problem usually reported with old OEs was that when "compact in
background" was turned on, it would compact the store even if the
mailbox was currently in use. Is that what happened to you?

AFAIK, OE6 doesn't compact if the mailbox is in use.
 
Have you already tried uninstalling/disabling extensions selectively
to see if there's one actually causing the problem?

Do you think there might be an interaction between the popup blocker and
one of the extensions? The only time Firefox freezes is when it's blocking
a popup and there's more than one tab open.

I hope that in the future the core development of FF would take some of
the essential extensions, such as "paste and go" and intergrate them
right into the development. Uninstalling them (extensions) while
looking for "bugs", is as big a headache as when an app crashes.

But that all said, one thing of not is this browsers popularity; almost
24% of my vistors use FF already. With the planned end of development
of the Mozilla suite, and the growth of Opera, and the pending release
of IE 7 as a tabbed browser, things will get interesting.

No, it crashes and burns, just like the earlier version. I've never used
compact in backgrounnd, just occasionally a major clearout and compact.

(I found out all about it on this group).

Obviously I could try to remember to do it when offline, but as the crash
is very destructive, I would rather not have that sort of ticking time bomb
lying around!

The daft thing is, if i'd never found out about having to compact to get
the space, I'd still be happily using OE with a few megs of excess baggage
I'd probably never notice.

A little learning...... ;-)

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.

The same for me.
I ride now with 1.0.

What's the best way of going back without losing all my data? I was
using 0.8 but had to wipe my hard drive, so where do I get an old version
of Firefox?

I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but with
Firefox crashing all the time, it's hard to navigate around the
mozilla.org website.
