Firefox Crashes - What Can You Do?

[NickWilsdon]

I'm getting repeated crashes with latest FF 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.04. I've upgraded everything in package manager and removed all extensions from FF. Still happening.

I've also installed Bonager and forced a file check

Is there any way of finding out what is causing these crashes?

TIA

Nick

I have same problem on my stacionary machine, on laptop is working nicely.

All WebBrowses crashes. I have kde, so also qonquer crashes.

And usualy is when i browse some flash content.

How can i fix this ?

I have adobe non-free flash installed.

My Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit crashes when I click on occasional website links that open new windows. After about 10 seconds the screen goes gray, i am then obliged to "Force Quit".

Sometimes it also doesn't seem to register that a link has been clicked on and it is impossible to navigate away from the page (except with back-button).

How does it crash? Does it hang and have to be killed, or does it just shut down unexpectedly?

I have been having the same type of problem with firefox. Mine just closes for no reason. If i start it with the cli and it closes I get a segmentation fault. I have been having the same problem with opera. Some times after it closes it will not start. I get the seg fault error. I have to reboot it order to start the program.

On a different forum somebody had also such a problem on a website, but other people went to the site and had no problems.
He was installing flash(and other things), but he removed it, but problem was still there.

He is starting over with installing, and following a website how to install codecs etc.
On 1 of these how to site's you can find wat you have to install after installation of ubuntu.

Search forums, ubuntu howto sites etc.

I used to use Epiphany in Gnome because it crashed much less.

In Fluxbox Firefox has never crashed for me or several other people that I know.
