    Firefox 3 crashes whenever I download something

    Whenever I download something (anything from anywhere), Firefox 3 or Hardy crashes.

    How do I fix this?

    Try this and see if the problem persists.

    Close Firefox

    Press Alt-F2

    Type
    Code:
    firefox --profilemanager
    Create a new profile

    Start the new profile

    Thanks. It worked. Is there a way for me to fix my old profile? I have a lot of settings there

    It's hard to say, as I don't know what exactly's wrong with your old profile. You can try disabling certain extensions one by one.

    If you can't figure out the problem, you may just have to export your bookmarks and start with a fresh profile.

    I had this problem, too -- disabling the Prism 0.2 extension seems to have fixed it for me. [Prism doesn't work right on Ubuntu anyway.]

    Oh really. I'll try that. It's just that, I had Prism even before that happened.

    Btw, what do you mean, it doesn't work right? That's what I use for email.

    Thanx Cyran, I had the same problem and disabling Prism solved it.
