Firefox crashes when using Google as startpage
Firefox crashes and gives me a general error mesage that it had to close down for certain reasons. This only happens when I use Google as my startpage. If I use any other website as startpage all works well and I can go to Google from there and everything works. In short: FF crashes at start-up only when using Google as starpage, I see the Google page very briefly and then FF crashes. I would realy like any solution because I have always used Google as startpage and want to keep it that way without having to start with i.e. altavista and go to google from there.

This appears to be related to the new "doodles" featuring Olympic events. Hopefully the problem will end this week.

Thank you for your reply. I'll just haver to wait and use another startpage until either Google removes it or Firefox comes with a solution for future events like this.
Thanks again for your answer, at least the problem isn't at my end then :)
A possible workaround for now is to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Thanks Cor-el, I'll keep that in mind when it happens again. It seems Google took their doodle down now and everything is back in shape.
