Firefox crashes

more options

Firefox crashes constantly! I've completely deleted it and reinstalled the latest and the greatest version. I've removed flash, thinking it was that, and reinstalled that program as well. No dice. Firefox still constantly crashes. I love Firefox but I can't stand having to force quit and restart many times during the day. Please help!

bp-a46ce9ed-93ec-430d-8d27-4dd942151124 is "EMPTY: no crashing thread identified" so unactionable.

Hmm, now you said that you have to force quit Firefox. That's different from a crash, and the crash reporter may not be recording data on what caused Firefox to freeze.

Does anything in this article help: Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix.
