FF 3.15 worked perfect with Snow Leopard. But everything after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right. On Facebook. And on ALL different language websites. Should I stop using FF? Heard Chrome is good.

[Edit: It should be FF 3.5. I mistyped FF 3.15]

I have MAC OSX Snow Leopard. 10.6.8.

FF 3.5 [apologies; I mistyped 3.15] worked perfect with Snow Leopard. NO problems.

But everything after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right.

Facebook crashes the most within few short seconds.

And NO different language websites even open.

I read online to use Safe Mode and try. I did. No change.

I read online to reset font cache or or something using atsUtil from the Terminal. I did. Nothing.

It is super frustrating. Same problem in my wife's Mac as well.

Should I stop using FF? I heard Chrome is good.

Try any of these news paper sites:

www.prothom-alo.com www.dailyjanakantha.com www.Facebook.com

Even ESPN videos quit randomly. But YouTube videos are fine!

All your add-ons and plugins are up to date?

There has been a recent bug with Apples Java update:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700835

I have similar issues, although most of the time the browser only freezes for a short time.

All my plugins are up to date. I removed those that are not. I also tested in Safe mode where no plugins are used.

I am not clear what I need to do about the link you provided.

Please help.

How come no one is addressing my issues?

What happened to all the Mozilla experts?!!
