I cannot really narrow this down but after a few updates my internet page either firefox or IE just quits unexpected.

I cannot say for sure it's Firefox 3 since it does it with IE also.

I had also updated to new AVG 8 Free edition.

Lastly Also updated Spybot to 1.5.2.

I removed spybot but problem still persists.

Is anyone else having issues with new AVG?

Firefox will let me restore session but after some page loading it closes unless I choose to start at my home page.

It surfs other pages just fine.

Problem seems to occur at yahoo mail but only certain emails...?

Sometimes when doing a web page search I click on a link and starts to open followed by sudden shutdown of web browser.

Well I did some searching and will see if clearing the host file will do the trick.

Thanks for your time and suggestion.

Didn't seem to help so I uninstalled new firefox 3 and reverted back to an older version I had.

Opened same web page and it stays up now.

???

Only time will tell maybe there are some new ffox bugs?
