Lots of times i found myself with 5 tabs opened. It's not even much...

Anyway, Firefox crashes lots of times with sites that present 404 or DNS errors... I used Firefox for a long time and this is the buggiest release by far... I hope those bugs will be fixed ASAP ;) P.S. Sorry, the troubleshooting infos are in Italian :(

Hi.

You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

If your issues are related to unusual amounts of RAM or CPU cycles usage, then you need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:

  1. run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
  2. update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
  3. disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
  4. enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
  5. you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.

Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:

  1. do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
  2. disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
  3. check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
  4. check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly.

Hi, thanks for the tempestive answare. The crash thing seems to be related to Google Toolbar. It doesn't crash anymore. It doesn't even slow down.

Thanks. It was strange that Firefox can have a so serious bug :D

Yes, it would be. As you probably can imagine, many of the bugs found "in" Firefox are actually due to faulty extension or add-ons. Particularly obvious bugs like this. I recommend you always keep a close eye on the extensions and plugins you have installed, in order to keep your browsing as trouble free as possible.

Hi:

At Google Toolbar page, http://www.google.com/toolbar/ff/, just below the Download button is a link offering the previous version of the tool.

If you click it, the page will reload and offer you the previous version of the toolbar (seems the default one is a new beta version).

The previous version of the tool works as expected. I am using firefox 3.6.3 and Windows 7.
