Every now and then, on only a few specific websites (ultimate-guitar.com is one of them, it seems to happen more on sites that have Flash stuff going on in the background), Firefox locks up on me. I click the button to send an error report, reopen Firefox, restore my previous session and it'll lock up again. It only does this on my home PC, my work laptop is good to go on the same websites. Both run Windows XP (XP Home on the problem PC, XP Pro on my work laptop), and both have the latest version of Firefox.
Anyone else have any similar problems? Any recommended fixes? |

Any recommended fixes? Delete Windows. Install Linux. That didn't take long. 
ETA - Now all I need is some asshole with a Mac to come along, and the thread will be complete. Take that piece of shit out to the curb and get a Mac, problem solved

I had multiple issues with Firefox 3.0 so I downgraded. Everything has been fine ever since. This is known problem for some do to bunged up patches of previous installations. Solution is to completely uninstall Firefox, reboot, and install a fresh copy. |

Seriously though, have you tried a complete uninstall and reinstall? I don't know if you want to go as far as getting into the registry and deleting firefox from there also before a fresh install, your call. I guess that's the next step. I'm not comfortable playing around in the registry, will the "Add/Remove Programs" thing work well enough? |
