Why does FIREFOX DO THIS??

Question

whenever i close firefox by the red x it says ''firefox has stopped working'' and windows is checking for a solution to this problem.

i recently reinstalled windows on this pc and it didn't do it before and i used the exact same firefox version.

Answer 1

What version of Windows and what version of Firefox are you using? What is the "Exact" error message?

My first suggestion would be that you un-install Firefox, download the latest version (Version 3.0.1) from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and then re-install Firefox.

If this does not work, we will need more info to help you.

Happy computing :)

Answer 2

Might be a problem with Windows.  Make sure you have all the latest updates.

If you check the Event Viewer Application logs, it should give you a reason why it's crashing.

Right click My Computer > Manage > Event Viewer
