Constant Firefox Crashes

sprento · #1 15-01-10, 09:20 AM

Following a recent system upgrade, including reinstallation of Win7 and a stable OC, I am encountering constant crashes with Firefox. Almost every session crashes despite several attempts to uninstall/reinstall software in hope of fix. Desperately need help, it's getting so bad that I'm even considering IE8 !

if its crashing with ie it wont be the browsers. the most obvious q is does this happen at stock?

Have you tried other browser?

And have you installed Java yet?

does it occur when starting firefox in "safe mode" ?

I always recommend giving CCleaner a good ol' run for any issues like this

I'd give ccleaner a run, some good anti spyware such as superantispyware/malwarebytes and spybot s&d, then a good antivirus (whatchu got?) such as eset and errrr, then probably best to uninstall any addons - but you probably dont have any due to reinstalling firefox

@ Freak, yeah it happens at stock.

@ Zak, tried IE8 (still happens), got Java too.

@mrapoc, it happens in safe mode too, got comodo, will try CCleaner.

Just turned off NVidia First Packet software and so far no crashes, fingers crossed !

Comodo went down hill lately - try uninstalling that next if necessary

Have you tried to reinstall because sometimes it won't work since you reinstall. Even though have installed many add-ons so these are also effect it.

According to me you should install the Quick Heal Antivirus and after reinstall the firefox so whatever problem will create Quick Heal suggest you the solution.

If that comodo has a anti phishing tool, that might be the cause.

First Packet was the problem. Not a big fan of NVidia Control panel.
