Support Forums

My browser just crashed for the fifth time in two days. I used to rarely get a crash. The prime suspect would be an extension but I'm not SURE that it's an extension problem so I put this thread in the General category. Also, I haven't added any new extensions in some time so if it IS extension related, it just about has to be from an update. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions on the easiest way to isolate the problem short of uninstalling all extensions? The problem seems to always occur right after I click on a link to open a new page. Any ideas?

Papa

Could you list your extensions? Just to make sure.

Oh, my! Is there an easy way to do this without typing them out one by one?

Yes, get Mr Tech Local Install and you can get a list of them.

Okay, here's what I have NOW. (I probably should have done this earlier but I've uninstalled about six or eight extensions that I never use and four or five themes.)

almost the same things?

If you have Tab Mix Plus, it has a session saver in it.

I'd say your problem is Session Saver. It kept crashing mine.
But what does Session Manager do?

I read up on Session Manager:

Session Manager Wrote:Session Manager saves and restores the state of all windows - either when you want it or automatically at startup and after crashes. Additionally it offers you to reopen (accidentally) closed windows and tabs. If you're afraid of losing data while browsing - this extension allows you to relax...

It is not recommended to have more than one session related extension installed, Session Manager is compatible at least with Tab Mix Plus.

Could you remove session saver and see if it keep crashing? I think that one is your problem. Session Manager is compatible with TMP but Session Saver is not.

Okay, Session Saver is gone. I'll restart and we'll see what happens.

Thanks, FW!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

I just had my SIXTH browser crash in two days. THIS time, the browser refused to close after it crashed. I had to force it close.

I won't put up with THIS for long.

Try removing

Forecastfox Enhanced 0.9.0.2.1
Mozilla Calendar 0.2.0.20060116
GooglePreview 1.3.1

and anything else you don't use.
Cause it might be the big extensions causing it to crash and the unused ones.
Don't give up!!!
