I've tried updating my plugins, disabling my plugins, running Firefox in Safe Mode and still it crashes without any sort of pattern every 10-15 minutes. Any solution to this problem that it seems lots of people are having after installing Firefox 5 needs to come quick or they will lose a lot of customers.
Having the same problem and I just updated to FF6. I'm really getting tired of the crashes. I'm on a Mac and it might have something to do with Flash, as always.

I cant start firefox @ all
i am on XP pro & 3.6.21 which was updated a day before. the pages would freeze almost instantly after startup. i went to FF 6, which i dont like, among screen layout & placement of things, my greasemonkey was not working. Luckily i saved the 3.6 folder, now i just started FF from the older folder & it seems to be fine, while leaving 6.0 folder out there. do know why but works for me.

Firefox is now riddled with problems and every update seems to bring more of them. Flash videos don't play, streaming content is problematic, uploads fail randomly. Firefox used to be the best browser around now its just another IE.
Hi,
Here are some tips to avoid Firefox crashing constantly.
Plug-ins like Adobe Reader, Flash Player and Java etc permit Firefox to allocate extra memory when activated and retain the memory when not in use.
You need to install the latest versions of Firefox having these stability and security features.
Firefox crashing Constantly is ensured if download history is let to build up.
All you need to do is go on clicking on ‘Tools’, then ‘Options’, then ‘Privacy’, then ‘Download History’, then ‘Remove Files in Download Manager’.
It will be set then. Firefox crashing constantly is also caused by some viruses and spyware by making Firefox unable to show pages correctly.
The means to avoid this is to update your systems with firewall, Antivirus, antispyware software and don’t open dangerous links in e-mails.
Keep in mind to run Firefox in Safe mode hindering all add-ons.
I`ve lost count of the number of times it crashes each day. Each time it`s on the start page when I enter a search. A message comes up saying `I`m sorry` . (like hell they are). I then have to click on either restore firefox or quit firefox & a crash report is sent. Nothing is ever done. I don`t like IE9 but end up going there, odd that it`s only on Firefox. I don`t have this problem with IE9 but as I said I don`t like it. I`m seriously considering leaving Firefox & recommend others do too. I can`t decide which web browser to use as I don`t want to use IE9. If Firefox can`t be bothered to help loyal users why bother with them. I have the latest version of Flash Player (11). It seems to have become worse since updating to Flash 11 but only on Firefox. Firefox obviously is unable to cope with the latest Flash Player although other browsers don`t have this problem. On occasions it crashes twice in a row & then I get the message `this is embarrassing, it`s not it`s inefficient.
I have Windows XP Pro SP3 and had the constant random firefox crashes without any crash reports being generated using firefox versions 5.0 thru 6.02. I finally got a crash report generated and it pointed to Quicktime 7.7 software. I un-installed Apple ITUNES 10.4 and Quicktime and all other Apple software related to ITUNES ((ITUNES 10.4, Quicktime, apple software update, apple mobile device support, bonjor and Apple application support) and the crashes finally stopped. I tried installing ITUNES 10.4 software again and the random firefox crashes started again. So it seems like there is a problem with Apple software causing random firefox crashes, at least on my PC. I know many people will not want to uninstall all Apple software. If anyone else finds out the firefox crashes stop after they uninstall all Apple software, please add feedback on here.

What is wrong with foxxy? I really had to change my default browser to Opera several times, that being the case now as well, because it CONTINUOSLY crashes randomly: being on twitter, facebook, entering a youtube video, posting a blog comment.
I don't get it. I was always fond of Firefox, but these issues really do chase me away from it.
By crashes I mean: Not Responding.
10 crashes between 02/2011 and 09/2011... 36 in October so far and its only the 20th...

arggghhh !!!.......
Upgraded to Firefox 8 and everytime I upload to my CMS it crashes, my cookies are not cached and I have to relaunch and log back in... can I revert to Firefox 6?
I was so happy with firefox, my browser for years. Since version 6/7 its keeps crashing all the times. Updated to firefoz 8 and the same happening. Solution, chrome!
I've been having crashes about every ten minutes or so with FF 3.6.24. I uninstalled my QuickTime 7.7.1 and reinstalled 7.6.9 and (hoping I've not just jinxed it) the crashes have stopped.

[EDIT 2011.12.08] Crashes are still happening.

Neale and anyone else thinking of posting in this thread.
You may find some of the info an interesting read, but I would suggest you start your own thread after reading firefox crashes <-- clickable link (blue)
This thread is old, and specific reasons for crashes change, new crashes appear and older ones get resolved or disappear completely as software evolves.
Being SUMO day it is likely a passing mod will lock the thread anyway. It is also a good day for asking questions you have an improved chance of a successful answer.
