Receive the following error random times while using Firefox:

"Firefox has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I have tried the following: Refresh Re-load of current and previous versions Safe mode operations(still happened) -the recommendations if it still happened in safe mode

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

About how long before the problem begins?

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox.
Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/
in order to check the integrity of your RAM?

You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.


Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ?

If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file.
