As the title states…
for example photobucket or railpics.net …I feel its my settings somewhere but cannot figure it out?
I go to rail pics and have to tip toe on the tulips and walk on eggshells if I don’t it will crash. Went through Mozillas site numerous times for info on such and cannot find any.
I have the newest version 3.5 and 13/16" or whatever it is. I’m sure it’s in my settings somewhere but cannot figure it out and it’s becoming frusturating to the point of going back to I.E. as a browser. I have a feeling it deals with page loading (pop ups etc) usually if the page loads with all the adds it seems better but sometimes just hitting the site crashes it with no other tabs open.
Any insight appreciated?
Right click in Firefox and “Open in IE Tab”
I’ve not gone with the newer versions of FF.
I had problems with the last version. I sometimes use Opera.

Firefox 3.0.14 here, no issues. Could it be a virus?
Are you using FF in Windows? Microsoft was just busted again for doing more bad things to it’s users. This time they have started to damage other manufacturers products with their crap software… Your trouble could be a virus as Jon suggested or malware, spyware or some other malicious attack. I use FF in Windows and Linux without any trouble.

Thought the same thing and went though a bout with hackers nailing the firewall due to negligence on Facebook(not mine) fixed the open holes there and all was good. I run McAfee and a tight firewall, have so many banned Asian 222 and 221 IP’s it ain’t funny. I’m over anal on security and the owner of the Facebook account got a very big internet security lecture followed by I’m sorry Dave I didn’t know numerous times.

I was aware of that open hole and un installed it 2 weeks ago around the same time I upgraded to new 3.5 version which actually had it disabled. But I think I found the lethal combo and I don’t understand why! When I stated no other tabs open that wasn’t true, I listen to http://www.977music.com/ (80’s music ) on Windows media player. For some reason that and http://www.railpictures.net/index.php don’t like each other nor does photobucket. Worked fine with latter version??
Simple enough I guess no 80’s music…(sorry but that was my teenage era??)
There are the links Greg try them and see what happens.
Thanks Guys
Interesting. I wonder how Media Player was effecting FF. Dunno but if you solved the problem great.
As for music, my son uses a website called playlist.com. I’ve never really messed with it but he seems to like. You basically create a online playlist and search for your favorite songs. Add them to the playlist and listen…

Thats what I cannot understand and I totally overloooked the simple possibility as I was looking deeper thinking adware,virus etc…
Hoping Jon R or Greg may have an answer “That I can understand” did you try the combination of links I posted to see if it does the same for you?
On the Mac I use an older version of ff because of problems Mac users have had with the newer version. I also have Safari and it works fine if a site doesn;t work in ff. I’d use Safari all the time but I don’t like some of their features. If I could just combine them both I’d be happy!
Dave -
I can’t help you with the test. I’m pretty sure I’ve disabled Windows Media Player - I use either DIVX or WinAmp for audio and video. When I go to the music site and try and launch a channel, nothing happens. I know that’s a browser configuration issue on my side, but I have no reason to fix it.

Interesting. At home I’m running 3.0.11 and I let it do the automatic updates. I guess that will only update the build, not the veriosn.

Do all auto updates tight and totally anal on security…didn’t mean to start a FF thread as I like it for a browser.
Sorry didn’t mean to create commotion

Dave, it may not be a software problem at all, but a computer hardware problem. I’d have an expert that you trust look at it and have them analyze the problem.
I had a similar problem a few weeks ago. Mine would totally freeze up right in the middle of something. I’d have to pull the plug to shut it off and then start it back up again. This had been going on for quite awhile. It finally got to the point that it was doing it after only an hour of two of running. I finally took it to a computer repair guy in Oxford and he showed me the problem. The capacitors on the motherboard were leaking and the whole thing was heating up and shutting down.
This was a cheap eMachine that was 5 or 6 years old. I’ve been told since by a few people that I was lucky to get that much time out of it. I’m not saying that that’s your problem. I’m just relating my experience with something similar.
Wild thought, firefox needs it’s own flash player plugin…
go to http://adobe.com/shockwave/welcome … this will test your installations of flash and shockwave…
Try that…
Also, might be time for a registry cleaning… download ccleaner from download.com…
Run the registry fix…

Anyone with a computer from around this time is likely to have defective capacitors.
A company manufactured capacitors using a “pilfered” coolant formula that was defective.
Nearly all the major motherboard manufacturers bought and used these “cheap” defective capacitors.
They were also found in many household electronics of the time.
And who knows what else.
Easy to spot, even before leaking. They will bulge, and look like they are about to “bust” open.

Yea, that’s what these were doing…
I hope, by now David, that your problems are solved. However I would mention that last week Microsoft gave me 10 updates one day and five the next for my Windows XP SP3 Home Edition that I have.
I have the latest version of Firefox. Firefox said it had BLOCKED two add-ons which were placed by the M/S updates as they were incompatible. Normally Firefox disable add-ons when they make updates but I got the impression BLOCKING was a more firm action i.e. I could not over-ride it.
I later found that Real Player had an issue so I un-installed it. I have had no issues since.

I’ll be damned! Greg you are a saint!!! As soon as I hit the site Firefox crashed… Had to do a manual install but fixed!!!
Cruised right through railpics.net with streaming media playing from club 977 after the install.
Ya’ see it was simple and I over looked simplicity, your wild thought was dead on… I preach basics first on the car repair boards but did not heed my own words in this circumstance.
Car board poster…My “check engine light is on” and I have numerous codes, I replaced $200.00 worth of parts because the computer told me such but the light is still on…my response" have you ever replaced the spark plugs?" …Answer…no Dave but will check…response…thanks Dave plugs fixed the problem!
Smacking head feelin’ stupid.
Once again Thank you Greg and all the other responses as well!!!
Greg you need a cigar store too? … I owe you so save that chip as it was really pissing me off to the point of reformating the drive…:lol:
