Firefox 8.0 in safe mode crashes multiple times daily on my 64 bit Vista PC , so how do I fix this?
For the last 2 weeks after installing Firefox 7 and then this week installing update version 8.0 my 64 bit Vista PC started to crash at least twice each day; tried running disabling selected plug ins and extensions, and then using the safe mode option but Firefox 8.0 continues to crash multiple times daily. This problem does not occur on my Windows XP PC.

Both Trusteer Rapport and Roboform are known to cause Firefox 8 to crash, even in Safe Mode.
Do you have Trusteer Rapport installed? If so, disable it.
* Windows: "Start->All Programs->Trusteer Rapport->Stop Rapport" * Mac: "System Preferences -> Other -> Rapport -> Stop Rapport"
For more help you can ask their helpdesk.

Roboform is also causing Firefox 8 to crash upon startup. Install the latest 7.6.3 version of Roboform.

Also, Firefox 8.0.1 was just released and has a patch for crashes on Windows, but it's not being pushed as an update to all Firefox 8.0 users on Windows - you need to download it separately and install it yourself.
