462769 - Firefox is constantly crashing whilst I'm browsing.

Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Terry Murphy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3

Firefox crashes on a regular basis while I'm browsing the internet. When I re-open firefox and select "restore previous session", firefox restarts with all my private pages still open. (i.e. If I'm logged into an e-mail account and firefox crashes, when I restart firefox, the account is still open). I think this counts a security risk.

On top of that, the constant inconvenience of the firefox shutting itself down is quite annoying.

Bugzilla is not a support site and you can not expect to get help here.
Random crashing without more information isn't useful for us.

As first step be sure that you updated all the installed plugins, for example install flash10 and the latest MS Silverlight Plugin (if installed).

If you still crash provide a URL with possible steps to reproduce and follow this guide: http://developer.mozilla.org/En/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report
