    Firefox 3.6 crashing

    I have had to revert back to 3.5.7 because of continual crashing when opening new tabs. Seen quite a bit of the same problem on the boards, whether XP or Vista--- so anyone else afflicted?

    are you restoring the sessions when you start up...?

    Start with a new browser and open the tabs one at time. I had problems with 3.5.7 when I upgraded and some page was messed up and the session variable were making the newly install version 3.5.7 crash.

    Try Start private Browsing and see if you get the same problems.

    firefox profile corrupt ?

    firefox has a profile in the respective directory and the profile could well be corrupted

    if you think this might be the case;

    first backup your bookmarks then close firefox, locate the profile rename it to whatever.old reopen firefox and a new profile should be created.

    p.s. - i have upgraded to 3.6 on two computers and not having the problem, (knock wood)
