Name: taco
i keep having this problem with firefox, no matter what build...currently i have v3.5.3.
it seems either java or flash is causing FF to crash regularly, usually happens when i'm on facebook, or playing a game that uses flash.
it also screws up the skin im using, meaning i cant see anything on the toolbars.java plugin is v6.0.140.8
flash plugin is v10.0.32.18Vista nVidia Evolution SP2

This could sometimes happen, if the profile of the firefox is corrupt.
You can try to create a new profile in another folder, to check out whether the problem persists.
Therefore you have to start firefox with the start parameter -p. This starts the profile manager for firefox. E.g.:
\path_to_firefox_exe\firefox -pYou may have to install the plugins for flash again.

You don't need Java to use flash - turn it off. Java stopped YouTube working with Opera until I disabled it. Don't confuse Java with Javascript - they're totally different.

ok, ive disabled java, and also an instance of shockwave for director...whatever that is, but its still crashing.
it's not my profile as my girlfriend has the same problem with her own profile.
it looks like a flash problem, definitely, as the longer im on a page using a lot of flash content i notice it happening.
take facebook as an example, the more things i do on facebook, the more it affects my browser, like tabs disappearing, words jumbled up, etc...then it eventually crashesVista nVidia Evolution SP2

"See event logs."
yeh....and they make sense>.<
think i have it sorted now!after disabling every addon & extension, and creating another new profile, and also downloading the 3.6 beta, it was still crashing.
so, i used adobe's tool to remove flash altogether, cleaned up any left over registry entries, temp files etc, rebooted, and downloaded flash again....hey presto...no crashes!!!!looks like if there is an update to flash player, you need to fully remove the existing version so that it works.
thanks for the help anyway

Same problem here. Firefox keeps crashing. I have the 3.5.3 v. How do I use the Adobe tool to clean up flash? What tool do I use and what options do I need to select? Please help!!! I love Firefox and don't want to use Chrome.

go here to install the removal tool:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_141...
after that, reboot your pc, then use whatever program you have that cleans obsolete registry entries, junk files, temp files etc....i use yamicsoft vista manager, but there's loads more that do the same job.reboot again, then when you open firefox and go to a site that uses flash, it will prompt you to install the latest player, just follow the instructions and that should be it.
i still havent had any problems since doing this, and i was having crashes every 5-10 mins at one point
