Just doing regular browsing on the internet. Keep getting the error message that Mozilla has crashed. I keep sending the crash report and you guys haven't fixed this problem yet. Have disabled "add-ons" like you keep recommending and it has NO affect on this condition. Here's the best part, when I get frustrated with this constant "crashing" error I switch to either Chrome or IE and those browsers work just fine. Even with my "add-ons" activated. Your Mozilla team needs to get on this problem or people are not going to put up with this ongoing nonsense.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,
