Firefox would crash on me also intermittently. I have about 25 addons. So I would disable one addon at a time until the problem stopped. When I disable PayPal addon the crashes stopped and Firefox is working well now.

And I forgot to mention, for those random sites that seem to usually cause it to die, it’s a freakishly intermittent problem!

Like, all of Myspace works fine and loads everything on the pages super fast…. then randomly sometimes it just dies. It makes trying to replicate the problem sorta difficult, I can hit reload on a certain page that had previously caused the freezing…. but I successfully load the page each time.

I have no freakin clue why it kills the connectivity from time to time!

I’m running Vista Home Premium SP1, with Firefox 3.0.4 and the original problem described is happening to me as well. It seems that certain sites like MYSPACE cause the internet connection to be unresponsive for ONLY Firefox – while IE and other internet apps are still working just fine.

I haven’t tried disabling any addons, but they all passed compatibility checks.

Waiting a few minutes or restarting the browser clears up the problem until it happens again. Seems like maybe it’s certain scripts or screwy html on some sites that is causing the error in Firefox… the error console is just worthless for when this happens.

I thought I was the only one having such problems. I’m on a mac and FF has to be “forced to quit” @ least 5 times a day. It’s really getting to a point where I’m about to find another browser because I’m sick and tired of having to restart my browser.

I thought Vista was “new coke” Anyway, I had the beta of Firefox 3 installed, and uninstalled it. Then when upgrading to Firefox 3 final version… I lost about half of my saved favorites. Still, I would never shop online using IE, but… I wish I had just kept Firefox 2 a bit longer.
