I am running Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 and every version that is released of Firefox keeps crashing and giving me Not responding messages. Seems that every new version is worse than the one before it and i am wondering why you guys cannot release at least one stable version of the program. Why is there so many beta versions released straight away after a main release. If you know a new version is bugged why release it in the first place till it is fully working. Even Chrome is bugged as well.

If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:

  • bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page.

  • You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website, or open the crash reports page via "Help > Troubleshooting Information".

See:


Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.


Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
