Has anyone else had firefox just become a total crash-o-matic since the latest patch? I fear having a shockwave or Flash session going less it blow up my computer.
There could be several reasons for this issue. It could be due to a conflict with an add-on or extension, corrupted user profile, outdated graphics driver, or a bug in the update itself.
To fix the issue, you can try clearing your browser cache, disabling add-ons and extensions, updating your graphics driver, or creating a new user profile. You can also try updating to the latest version of Firefox or reinstalling the browser.
Yes, there have been reports of a bug in the latest Firefox update that is causing the browser to crash. The developers are aware of this issue and are working on a fix. In the meantime, you can try the solutions mentioned in question 2.
No, your bookmarks and saved passwords are stored in a separate location and will not be affected by creating a new user profile. However, if you have any custom settings or preferences, you will need to set them up again.
To prevent future crashing issues, make sure to keep your browser and add-ons/extensions up to date. You can also try using the browser in safe mode, where add-ons are disabled, to see if the issue persists. Additionally, regularly clearing your browser cache and cookies can also help prevent crashes.
