why firefox always crashes whatever i do ?
firefox always crashes and ask to restart or quit i tried reinstalling firefox tried using an old version even reinstalling the whole windows with trying xp , 7 & 8
after fresh install (after os replacement) it runs good but then ( may be 3 days later ) it starts crashing many times ( sometimes every 5 seconds )
this also occurs with other browsers such as internet explorer and others
this is very annoying , please help
Chosen solution
So other browsers crash too? If so you may need to check your RAM.

So other browsers crash too? If so you may need to check your RAM.
ya other browsers crash too i have 2 RAM i will try remove one by another and see
i think the problem was my 2 GB RAM >> after i removed it .. a slower PC :) but with no crash till now and i am waiting .. thanks everybody i will try to change that stupid ram if no crash happens next few days
and thanks again for help
Here's one fix that worked for me: I just started having this problem, severely...... with Internet Explorer and Firefox. So I checked the video .dll files (my card is an ATI so I looked at all of the .dll files starting with "ati") in Windows > "System 32" folder, AND the Windows > System 32 > "dllcache" folder. After I looked at each ATI video .dll file's Properties I found the same named .dll files did not match!! I simply found the most current ones, then copied those and replaced the older ones.
Problem fixed!! It was crashing sometimes in seconds from opening Firefox OR Internet Explorer. Flash Player was constantly crashing too if the pages stayed open long enough for that to even run. Not anymore!!
