A few months ago Firefox began to give me fits.

Is it crashing for anyone else?

Sometimes I can go a day or so without having it happen, while other times it crashes in rapid succession.

Annoys the livin' daylights out of me.

Tried Flock by Mozilla and it was better, but still crashed occasionally.

I'm using the 2.0.0.13 version with Vista Home Basic. For months after getting my computer I had no problems; it began suddenly, though I couldn't think of any particular program I'd loaded that might be causing a conflict.

Went so far as to delete it and re-install, except apparently info's stored in the registry for when I re-installed it, it started up as if the deletion had never occurred.

BTW, when I say it crashes, I mean suddenly I get the little blue swirly thing, the page goes light and sort of opaque-ish, then here comes the blue box advising me that Firefox has ceased working and will now shut down. Oh, and Windows will search for an answer and let me know if there is one, though since I never hear anything, presumably there's not.

I'll delete virtually any program I've got - or an add-on - if it'll stop Firefox from locking up and shutting down, but I've deleted several programs, to no avail.

Is it just me? Or is anyone else having the same trouble?
