OS: Windows Vista Home Premium AntiVirus: AVG Free Firewall: Comodo Pro Starting a few days ago, Firefox (2.0.0.11) started to randomly crash. At random times, all of the pages would freeze and I would be load any page in Firefox. When I close Firefox during these connection freezes, the GUI would completely close and it would seem like Firefox had been completely closed; however, if I looked in Task Manager, I could clearly see firefox.exe still running. Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks!

Save your favorites and then uninstall and reinstall. Then pull your favorites back over.
At least that is the first thing I would do. Being that it is a free program, it is easy enough to do the uninstall and reinstall without worrying about activation or keys or other stuff. Good luck. DR -------------------- |

I reinstalled Firefox; it still crashed once, but ever since that one crash it's been working normally.
