It keeps crashing all the time. There is no way top open any URLs of error reports. Only thing I can manage to do is printscreen, and then manually write down crash ids:

It also doesnt matter if I uninstall all plugins, run it in safe mode, make fresh clean install, it all end up the same - crash after few seconds of working. I cant believe there is still no solution after this long time!

update of crash ids seems there was some problem with those:

p.s i was unable to go into tools to do any of the other tips and when i did once the changes that i made just changed back but this worked for me.

Locking this thread because the original is really really old and the crash from that one is actually no longer happening. Please either start a new thread or find a newer one.

For Firefox 7 and 8, we know of at least to top crashers:

1) The newest version of Java for OSX that Apple pushed out causes Firefox to crash. We're still working on a way to work around this.

2) Trusteer Rapport causes Firefox to crash on startup (or occasionally when visiting certain secure sites). If you don't know if you have Trusteer, it's usually a program provided by banks and other financial institutions.
