Travel Technology - Does Firefox 2.0 crash on you?

I've been having some problems with the newest version of Firefox. Is it just me of has anyone else had it crash as well?

Not once. Try disabling some extensions, those are usually the culprit.

Nor have I, but I rarely, if ever use it! LOL!

I prefer IE7 as noted here:

My only extension is AdBlockPlus. (Scott, nice to meet you in DC last week!)

No problems. And, I have been using it since it became available. ^

Two incidents of being nonresponsive but no crashes. When I force it closed the next time it asks if I want to restore my session--and if I say yes it puts back most everything--including in both cases the message I was entering when it went into la-la land.

Firefox 2.0 sucks on an intel Mac.

Can't see videos (no YouTube), and some sites just flat out won't load.

:td:

Firefox 2.0 crashed on me a few times and worse still took up 100% of CPU usage, effectively freezing my machine.

I cannot believe they released it in this state. It is not ready for prime time and I cannot even consider using it until they identify and sort out the problem.

nope.... never had an issue... I use it on XP Pro, 2000 & Linux. whats your
OS?

That was very helpful. :rolleyes:

crashes about once a week on me, same as 1.5 did. which is less than IE did

No problems so far. I had to remove a couple of extensions since they were annoying, but nothing more. (New extensions, I had just installed with the 2.0 upgrade). I like the spell check one. Eye can spill now!

fine for me on 2.0 it's your adblock.... upgrade it to the latest... as google firefox crash...

also check this out (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes), I used it to fix up my crashes on 1.5

Yes, it freezes up my PC once in a while. That hadn't happened to me in years. I only have one extension. (IEView)

No crashes here. Didn't even realize that FF crashed... :o

Firefox2.0 works better than IE7 for me. One problem I found: Firefox doesn't display the www.usairways.com site properly -- all the fonts are too large (probably just a setting somewhere)...

I would think the problem is with the site.. not FF. :)

I've been pretty pleased with FF2 performance, haven't had it hang on me yet whilst running it on XP. I quite like the updated interface and speed compared to IE7. The only reason IE is still on my computer is Windows Update.

IE7 displays the site properly though... but granted, usairways.com has been in "constantly improving" mode for a while now due to the merger...

Mine crashes frequently -- so much so I am still on 1.5 on one of my two Windows machines. I'll clear the extensions, though, and see if that helps.

Because MS tends to depart from the standards very often.. and if the
site was made using MS tools.. without checking the compliance with
the W3 standards, the site could look different on other browsers.. but
look okay on IE.

Its USAir's job to make sure the site works well with all browsers.

No crashes for me since very early alpha on Windows, Mac or Linux.

Having just gone to YouTube and viewed a video using an Intel iMac, I can tell you that the problem is not your Mac.

I actually have fewer (read: none) crashed in 2.0, whereas I'd get the occasional crash in 1.5.x. On wintel.

FF 2.0 is very stable for me under WinXP. I have a dual CPU PC, and 1.5 was prone to frequent crashes unless it was bound to one CPU.

I haven't had crashes, but, OTOH, there are definitely things I'm not thrilled about in FF 2.0 (like on FT, if I hover over a partial/abbreviated topic, it pops up what the entire text is).

If you are happy with FF1.5, I'd strongly advise just using it for now.

If you have issues with some sites you visit, then give upgrading a try.

Crashes somewhat frequentlyif I have a lot of tabs open. Then again, the XP system only has 128MB RAM available (MIN/MAX).

Doesn't crash but very slow on a G3 iMac OS 10.4.

I've been noticing an occasional problem with FF 2.0 where the first browser window I open will always be on top. If I click on a link that opens another browser window, I cannot bring the second window to the front. If I minimize the first window then maximize it, I can bring other windows in front of it.

Try new pages should be opened in a new tab in preferences and see if that helps.

No crash so far. I like it better than IE7.

Crahses? Not yet. So far it's as good as or better than v1.5. ^

I've not installed Internet Exploder 7 yet...

However, this wouldn't be a solution for the windows opened by Javascript (the calendar windows on American Airlines, for example)

I have not had any crashes w v2.0 but did with v1.5.

I haven't had any crashes yet with 2.0.

I have, however, noticed a weird issue with the little information bar (or whatever you call it, the thing that tells you when a pop-up was blocked or when a site needs a plugin) being half cut off. It isn't just one install, either; I've noticed this issue on three computers now.

Bah...my Firefox 2.0 crashed for the first time today. I was doing a Bulk [Empty] in my Yahoo mail when it happened. Cool "restore session" functionality though ^

Firefox 2.0 has crashed 3 or 4 times for me now. On all occasions I have had Yahoo Mail open in one of the tabs. Seems like the two do not get along.

It happens on occasion, but it works pretty well.

I have not read the entire thread but initially 2.0 crashed every 5 minutes, now it doesn't anymore. Weird.

I'm crashing a lot with it. I only have 1 extension, GreaseMonkey. I find that if I use "restore session" that pretty much guarantees that I'll continue crashing. I'm thinking of going back to an older, more stable version.

What scripts are you running with greasemonkey? GM is very cool, but a poorly written script can really hose your browser.

Ive had tons of crashes (maybe 5 tonight) and lots of freezes.
