[Generic Superhero]

this has become such an irritation that i hav been forced 2 use opera more. but why is this hapenning? i think this has started ever since i upgraded to 1.5...

 

[vijay_7287]

might be a Spyware
run a scan
even i am on 1.5 no probs here

i think its the internet explorer extension if u use it, i had the same problem but after removing the ie extension it was fine.

I dont use the Ie extension but it seems It has been crashing every now and then the and showing the Mozilla Quality Feedback agent any help on this and I am sure its not a spyware or anything as it is the same with so many ppl

 

[rollcage]

It cant be spyware or trojan .. Its a problem in 1.5 v I think .. It should improve by only next release

And by keeping the Quality Feedback Agent on .. sendin the crashing report should help the developers

 

[Generic Superhero]

Well I am not having the problem anymore. I have done two things and finally got rid of the problem.

1. I was using Google Web Accelerator. I disabled it.
2. I uninstalled the extension Extended Statsu Bar.

now which action of mine solved it i dunno

Even I'm having the same problem. One more thing. Whenever I open up my Yahoo account with the new BETA interface, 8 out of 10 times, firefox crashes. I though that it might be a coincidense. But I have got it to crash almost everyday when I open my email.
I think there is some problem with the scripts.

My Firefox has started crashing again...

 

[selva1966]

Mine is also crashing now and then. Version 1.5.0.1

No spyware. Cheked with 3 anti spywares and 1 anti virus (Nod32)

 

[QwertyManiac]

Hmm... my FX crashes each time I load my yahoo mail alongwith Gmail... perhaps overload, else its fine, but yeah, its getting heavier...

 

[Vyasram]

Firefoz crashes n't coz of spyware, buy bcoz of Anti-Spyware (MS Antispyware ). Ever since i removed it, everything is workin fine

 

[selva1966]

I don't have MS Antispyware. But still crashes often. I think the cause should be something else.

 

[rollcage]

It just crashing too much now .. without any specific reasons.

It crashed, most of the time at digit

its just crashing
