I've noticed FireFox crashing upon opening LFO today. Chrome loads it just fine, as does (shudder) IE8. This is happening on 2 separate OS's... Ubuntu 10.04, and an older Fedora ...

    [SOLVED] Just a question...

    I've noticed FireFox crashing upon opening LFO today.
    Chrome loads it just fine, as does (shudder) IE8.
    This is happening on 2 separate OS's... Ubuntu 10.04, and an older Fedora install.
    I'm just curious if anybody else has run into this today.


    I just want to check it out before I remove FF and all that good jazz.

    I'm viewing at the moment on a non-Linux OS, but from Firefox. I've not seen any problems, but I do have some stuff filtered out.

    Has anyone else seem anything like this?

    Just wanted to add that sometimes a plugin can cause browser crashes, so you might try removing or disabling any that you are using one at a time to see if it's that fixes things.

    For what it's worth, I'm using FF now to post.
    Yestarday, when I opened the thread, I had still been using Firefox 3.6.10 with only a few add-ons.
    Ad-Block, NoScript and Ad-Block element hiding helper.
    I removed all the plug-ins and still FF would crash.
    I purged FF, reinstalled FF 3.6.10 and still had the same issue.
    Decided to install FF4. Up and running now.
