Every few days Firefox crashes and i get that usual vista error saying that
it has stopped working. I reboot and sometimes it works and other times it
doesn't. I've applied all known updates but seems the problem appears and
disappears. Microsoft's supposed solution is to download the latest version
of firefox but saying as I already have that it's not really a solution!

Anyone else experiencing these firefox crashes?

Hi Fermanagh,

Do you experience the same crashes running FF in Safe Mode (not Windows
Safe Mode)? If not, you may have installed a Theme or Extension that is
causing the crashes.

Hello Fermanagh,

I would like to share your problem with the team that sends our these
problem reports. I need some more information from you. Please go to Control
panel -> Problem reports and solutions -> View problem history, and then
double-click the problem. Please copy the report information for me,
including the "Bucket ID" that should be at the bottom of the report.

Thanks.

No crashes yet with Firefox , but one thing is bugging me , the text size
will not change and right now it`s tooooo large , never have that problem
with firefox on XP!!!! Changing text size with Vista works fine just not
with FF ?????

The text for menus or while browsing? For changing while browsing, use
Ctrl- to make smaller or Ctrl+ to make larger.

Have run FF since day one with Vista and never a crash.

Does holding the ALT key down and rolling the mouse wheel move the font size
up/down to what you want??

Yes it says contorl - or + under view and text size , tried it b4 but no go ,
it`s only on sites like nascar.com or mlb.com and the [url]www.us.playstation.com[/url]
sites . I`m at a loss :(

Put nascar.com on explorer then on firefox and you will see what I mean ,
it`s not a big deal just strange . Using the wheel also works but it will
only go so small on Firefox , I love Firefox it`s all I use on my XP hard
drive . But Explorer works great with Vista so k sa ra sa ra !!! Wait a
minute I don`t sing I play the guitar : )

Nascar.com displays perfectly here. You need to check a few things on your
FF.

In FF under TOOLS/OPTIONS and on the CONTENT Tab, make sure you don't have
some strange settings there.

For FONTS I have Times New Roman 16 and under ADVANCED

The Proportional is Serif 16
Serif is Times New Roman
Sans-serif is Arial
Monospace is Courier New 13
Default Character is Western (ISO 8859-1)
And probably most important make sure there is a tick in the ALLOW PAGES TO
CHOOSE THEIR OWN FONT

If none of that works and you have an LCD Monitor make sure you are running
that at its native resolution and not forced to a different resolution than
it wants to be.

I used the W3C validator and nascar.com has a LOT of coding errors, so
it's no surprise it doesn't display properly. IE is more forgiving of
bad coding (which isn't a good thing). But in your case I guess you're
fine with using IE.

The playstation site looked fine on FF here.

Thank you for the information, Fermanagh. I appreciate it.

A bug was filed with the right team. I hope that the number of crashes and
incorrect error solutions that you receive decreases as a result.

Thanks again.

Hi Thomas,

Same thing happens to me every day in the last two weeks I've had my new
Vista. Actually, MS Word crashes, too, but that's a problem for another day.

Here's my info, in case it helps.

I have used FF uneventfully for years, but when I installed it on my
Vista OS laptop, it constantly freezes or crashes. I believe, tongue in
cheek, that MS does not care for a performance browser other than the
archaic IE. However, here is my log from one of the many crashes. I
first started out with no addons or extensions, now I have many and it
still crashes several times per day with Vista.
