Firefox crashes every time I exit. I just downloaded and installed the newest Firefox: 6.02. I don't know if I should go back to an earlier version of Firefox or which plugin is giving me trouble.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
