Recently, Firefox has started crashing whenever I used the google searhbox or loaded a webpage. I created a new profile, but the crashing still continued without any add-ons installed.

Yes, you appear to have a problem with the Flash Player plugin.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Ok, thanks. I'll check it later and give a sign about bowser work. ;)

About 30 mins before I blocked one script...really, forgot the name (sic!) - something starts with "peep", but after that I checked few pages and browser not crash yet. Don't read nothing about that script, maybe it's some important one, but at least Firefox works properly.

Thanks again, anyway :)

mostly it just keeps crashing again and again and endlessly. If i restart computer and try safestart i can eventually get it to open, like now. It has been touchy for months and months but now is worse none of the suggestions work I like to use it but am getting bored with all of this trouble.
