Don't tell me love isn't true, it's just something that we do

Agh. That is the thousandth time Firefox crashed on me.

Why is it the better browser again?

Does anyone else encounter the same problem? Or am I the only one?

You may be the only one-- among Windows users anyway. It may be a problem with one of your extensions; some of them conflict with each other, which is a terribly sucky thing. And if you're using MacOS X, you're generally better off with the bundled Safari.

Hasn't happened to me so far...

LIW, it always crashes when I visit your blog or any site with high graphic content and the video thingies. It is so annoying.

Naz, I and starting to like Safari for the speed of pageloads and no crashes now. But I am so lazy to carry all my luggage from Firefox to Safari. Haha. I must do it soon.

Actually, InformationWeek published an article containing
"http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=175007152" title="Firefox 1.5 Stability Problems? Readers And Mozilla Respond">problems that people have had with Firefox 1.5
. So no, no browser is perfect.

As naz said, it is likely to be a problem with one of the Extensions. Session Saver in particular kept causing FF to crash on my OS X so I wouldn't be surprised if there are other faulty Extensions out there. And Tabbrowser Extensions is famous for being strongly unrecommended by the Mozilla Foundation.

I used to have Session Saver but I crash every 30 minutes so I uninstalled it. Now I only have the Google Toolbar, the DOM Inspector (which was a default extension, it came with the program) and Talkback.

But doesn't everyone has those?
