My foxfire keeps crashing - about 4-5 times a day. And it doesnt remember the sites that I had open when it restarts.
When I leave my computer on after I leave work, firefox is guaranteed to be crashed by the morning.
Already this morning it has crashed twice. This has been going on for a while.

Unfortunately the linked crash reports have an [@ EMPTY] signature or are not available, so there is no data available that would make it possible to tell something about the cause of the crash.
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Is there a solution to this probleM?
Have you done what cor-el recommended?
- Disable video hardware acceleration?
- Run a Malware check using those programs?
I did both and the product still crashes and stalls. Is there a solution to this problem? This browser is becoming a hassle to use.
