Firefox 2 Closing itself on random

X Chaos God · **Posted:** December 8th, 2006, 12:19 pm

Yeah..as of last week or so, I download Firefox 2. For the first few days, it was perfect. As time progressed, FF2 has been closing itself down RANDOMLY. This happens the most whenever I'm in-game. I keep thinking it's my Java that is the problem, or an in-depth computer error?

I have the latest version of Firefox. I have the latest version of Java. I run virus scans WEEKLY.

Could anybody help me debug/fix this problem? o.O

Much appreciated.

You run virus scans, thats good. Do you run spy-ware scans as well? The best place to ask would be the official firefox forums, if someone here can't give the help you need that is.

I'm not actually sure but if you can't find the problem then just switch to Opera. I did that for a short term when I was having troubles with FF.

I would do what Nubis suggests and run anti-spy-ware.

Do you have any extensions installed? If so what ones?

Also is it possible to get into the error console in Firefox? (Tools -> Error Console)

Since you say when you're in game I'd try updating your Java. Finally check Firefox safe mode. Firefox installs a safe mode shortcut into the mozilla folder. This runs it in a stripped down mode and if the crashing still persists you probably need to wipe your preferences.

No extensions installed.
I've updated my Java many a time..From what my peers are telling me, it's probably a more in depth problem..With the addition of my brother installing 50GB of music on the computer..Yeah that probably might have made my problem worse.. Just got a network cable, gonna transfer the music to another comp, do a COMPLETE wipe and restore on my comp, and hopefully Problem = Solved?
