My firefox, for some unknown reason, keeps crashing on me. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but it's the same thing. Anyone else having this problem?

No, but it's mimicking a problem I have with IE.

I have this problem on occasion as well. No idea how to solve it.

Is it just random crashing, or at specific intervals, or when you do something?
Like, I can't help you fix a problem if it's "It just crashes!" with no further info. What version of Firefox, what version of Windows (if it's Windows at all), all that good stuff.

Funny enough I had this exact same problem today. I restarted my computer and it was fine after.

It's the latest version, I'm on Vista Home Premium. |

Any error message, or it just "stops responding"? Or does it literalyl open, then close with no messages?
Can always try a Ctrl+Alt+Del, go into task manager, click the "processes" tab, make sure you don't see firefox.exe running there - if you do, end process on it and try again.
(If that works, it's also why rebooting solved the problem for the other guy).

Firefox leaks memory, and it's a problem Mozilla has never fixed. The longer you keep the program open (over a period of days), the more and more and more memory the program takes up.
Well, maybe they fixed it in Firefox 2, but I don't know. All the 1.X versions have the problem.
