Lots of times recently in the last week or so i get this message when closing 'Firefox'....I did send a few reports off to them as it was an option...never had a reply, but whats the problem..? anyone else had this..?
Never lost anything from it and has not caused me a problem.

Thanks.

I'm using XP with Firefox 3.0.4 and I never have a minute's trouble. It seems the marriage between Vista and Firefox 3.0 isn't a happy one. No doubt you Googled and it is certainly a common fault and it seems Mozilla have not tackled it yet.

Firefox Crashing

Did you have this problem before version 3 came out? Maybe uninstall 3.0 and go back to 2.0? http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/3517/

Or use Safari or Chrome until Mozilla sort it.

firefox........to bad you crashed it.....there good cars.......l know good pannel beater

Ahhhh no i didn't think to googgle it IA, it don't do it all the time..and no i never had the bug on older versions.
And thanks for the link, have had a look already...might just put up with it till it sorts itself, thats probably why they not replied as they got a massive back log of 'crash reports' to get through.

Try to remove your old firefox profile... re-lauch firefox to create the new profile.

Ok...but how do i do that xcession...?
Thanks.

I am no guro but I do know I will not install a beta program and expect it to work well
so IMO vista is still in a beta program and will remain there until windows 7 is released
so my advice is to go back to XP and install fire fox it works very good in XP but do not install
there Beta because then your asking for trouble just my opinion which is meaningless

If you uninstall and then reinstall you may lose all your information - bookmarks, saved passwords, etc etc.

I use this program http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ which creates a backup of all your user data in both Firefox and Thunderbird (for address list, saved emails etc etc).

You can then restore everything if either program crashes, or you want to reinstall.

Loosing everything was a concern(its happened a few times in the past), will have a look on your link jack.

The uninstallation is not remove your profile... It's still there...
If I remember right (I'm not using Windows anymore.),
the Firefox's profile is in C:\Documents...\Application Settings\Mozilla ...
(It is hidden folder so you need to turn on "Show hidden folder" in Control Panel > Folder Options)
Just delete the Mozilla folder...

No need to uninstall Firefox... after you delete the profile folder, launch Firefox and it will create your new profile.

You can use MozBackup in jackspratt's post above to backup your bookmarks berfore delete the profile folder...

I'm using Firefox 3.0.6 and this evening this same problem raised it's ugly head. Did xcession's cure work BM? I'll give that a go and if that doesn't work I might give Opera or Chrome another whirl.

Well everything has been tickerty boo since i posted....and really can't remember what i did in the end as it caused no more probs..sorry IA...also have NOT downloaded the latest FF it keeps reminding me to do it but I have left it alone, as i didn't want to Rock the Boat.

Change to IE8. Its very stable.
