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?

    Not me, everything seems normal here.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    Ditto that for me... no problems with Firefox 4.

    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.
