Running 6.0.2 with MAC OS 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro and Firefox crashes and crashes and crashes and crashes. What have you done to your software? It sucks.

Running the new and improved 6.0.2 with Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro and Firefox keeps crashing. When I have Yahoo on my screen with MY FAVORITES on the left side I can't click on ANY of my favorites without a crash. I can hardly navigate anywhere without a crash. Have a MacBook Air running same OS and same Firefox with no problems. So what gives? What is happening and what should I do to fix this?

something similar has been happening to me for a a couple weeks (even before the most recent update, but now is definitely worse) on my 2010 MacBook Air. Firefox freezes upon startup, and then freezes maybe every twenty minutes or so when I'm actively using it, staying frozen for at least a minute or two. it drives me crazy.

it APPEARS upgrading to [[Firefox 7 beta|http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html]] works. I've downloaded it and no freezes for an hour.

I finally gave up and deleted Firefox from my Mac. I emptied my trash and turned it off. Then I restarted the Mac and downloaded the newest version of Firefox. It has worked fine since.

okay, upgrading to firefox 7 worked for about a day, and now it's back to freezing even longer then before. I'll try deleting the whole program like the person above me recommends. this is so frustrating!
