ARGH! Firefox and MSN keep closing
 

It just keeps deciding to close on me:mad::mad::mad::mad:
wtf is up with em?:mad:

I think the latest Firefox update might have done it..it seemed to start back then

love yer new avvy rayheartbliss

Are you using the beta WLM? I used the beta one and it caused me nothing but trouble. I'd suggest uninstalling it and sticking with the final release of WLM 8.5. You won't have the fancy extras that you get on the beta, but it's much less trouble.

..anything in particular happened to the posts in here?

seing riku on it!
that wouldnt be a surprise :P

gonna do that, the beta one is slow


I'll do that too Red :thumbs:
Thanks

I uninstalled WLM 9 Beta, and so far Firefox hasnt had any problems:thumbs2:

The bill is in the post.

lol :shrug:

WLM 8.5 is so much quicker

I have been having problems with Firefox crashing and closing on me, especially when visiting youtube.

It happens on my laptop which is Vista home basic. Not sure with the desktop which is XP, because I seldom go on Youtube on that machine because of the problems I am having with it.

I think its something to do with Firefox then

Carring on from this thread / post

The crashes this evening have been causing me to have to do hard shut downs on the laptop

It seems to happen with Youtube

Apparently they have gone to a new wide format, I do not know if that is connected?

:sad:

I am worried about my laptop now

I did get a forefox update to 3.0.4, but I am not sure it is going to help.

We're Sorry

Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.

To help us diagnose and fix the problem, you can send us a crash report.

:mad:
I had it reading this thread!

What operating system are you using, Vista or XP?

If Vista which variant

Vista. :joker:

That has happened to me with Firefox on Youtube since they changed it. Try updating your flash player to the latest (or is it the latest version that causes the problem? :S) get.adobe.com/flashplayer

I also get the 'video no longer available' message on some vids. Adding &fmt=6 or &fmt=16 or &fmt=18 to the youtube address fixes that (one of those :) ).

Does it give an error message? If it doesn't and you have got a lot of programs running things can shutdown without warning in Windows.

I think its cause I hadnt properly shut down my laptop for a few weeks (just closed it and left it like that)

OK I have now run the latest flash installation

What I still seem to be getting, sometimes never having visited YouTube, is that when a tab is loading, the whole of firefox gives not responding and I can not visit any other tab.

Is anyone who is not using Vista getting any problems with firefox 3.0.x?

mee

So this is a firefox issue rather than a Vista issue?
