Yesterday, Firefox automatically updated to 19.0, which as I have read has compatibility issues with Windows 8. Now, every time I open a new tab, Firefox crashes. I have already changed the settings so that I can choose to update or not, but that of course does not uninstall the most recent update. I tried the links provided in other threads with a supposed download for Firefox 18.02, but these did not load. I do not have a backup. Is there another way to uninstall the update/reinstall Firefox 18.02?

There is a problem on Windows 8 with Firefox 19 and AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphic display cards.

This issue is currently being investigated in bug 830531.

  • bug 830531 - [Win8] crash in XPC_WN_Helper_NewResolve mainly with AMD Radeon HD 6290/6310/6320/7290/7310/7340

(please do not comment in bug reports: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html)

If you have one of those display cards then best is to stay with or downgrade to Firefox 18.0.2 for now.

Perfect fix - thank you!

The fix worked for at least an hour. I'm not sure if it was coincidence or not. When I tried it again this afternoon though, the same thing started happening. Crash report IDs listed below:
