Firefox 3...is anyone else crashing?

[Fire_on_High]

Can't seem to get this dratted thing stable. 2.0.0.14 was great, and my other box is running the exact same set of addons and seems pretty stable. Ideas? Other than going back to 2, of course :-)

Only the usual: Delete your existing profile, and use a completely new one.

Note: Been using Firefox 3 betas and release candidates. Nary a hint of a problem.

Yep, after the other box went well I decidedly that surely if I just uninstalled everything, cleaned it all up, and installed totally fresh it'd work.

Oddly enough, belatedly it seems to have settled down a bit. Nothing's changed, but not gonna knock it if it's not crashing anymore for the moment.

Actually, that's not what I meant :)

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles explains it in much more detail than I will ever type up :)

When I uninstalled I made sure to manually check and delete my old profile. If you mean ANOTHER new one then I'll give it a try, but I made sure *everything* was gone before I installed.

The only crashes I've had was that FireFox 3 didn't seem to like it when I imported my bookmarks (which created doubles of every folder) and tried to delete them.

Hell, I'd live with a crash or two for the way smaller overhead. Fox 2.x was such a resource hog, my system has 2GB of ram and it would regularly take as much as it could grab. Fox 3 is holding nicely at about 90k.

Oh, yeah, duh. I need to install it here.

I installed at work with no problems. I just need all my addons to update!

I updated my firefox to 3. Works fine (much faster start up than before which was one of my biggest complaint). However, it broke my dad's website. Which worked with the older version. Now I got weeks of debugging to find out what the hell firefox broke.

Best Firefox Tool Ever For Web Development:

Firebug (http://www.getfirebug.com/). Get it, love it.

Well, I figure out what it was. Dang firefox even more sensitive than before. Geeeee, there is a thing such as too strict.

I'm sooo old, that I use notepad to do my html/java programming :D

[JLRodgers]

My has crashes sometimes when I close the browser -- but that's it. And it's not even recreatable (I'll open up the last site, click the same things, close and no crash).

But they'll probably have up to 3 patches before the end of next month.

What's wrong with that? Notepad is teh awesome.

I used to use 'ted' (short for tiny editor).

That takes me back to monochrome days...

Personal favorite editor: Vi Improved (http://www.vim.org/). Use it still today, actually. It's really nice, but definitely not for normal people :)

Now to get this thread back on topic. I have had one crash with FF3. But I had no problems with FireFox 2x

[technical.angel]

Oddly enough, I was crashing a lot with FF2, not with FF3. Of course, that could be because all my addons aren't compatible.
