Firefox keeps crashing my computer. I can open and all that but after about 5 minutes, my computer will crash. I know its Firefox causing this because it doesnt happen any other time except when Im using FF. Any ideas why this is happening, Im using Windows ME if that means anything. But I have had FF for a long time and its been working all along.

PS. If you dont know whats wrong, dont reply. Im looking for help not 87 people who are gonna post "IDK, LOL".

Try uninstalling fully, then reinstalling it. Aside from that, I really don't know, it's kind of a computer and program specific problem. (Virus scan?)

You could try the new ff 3 RC1, it's most likely to be released as the full version.

You'd want to uninstall your current version before installing this though.

Could be a virus, especially seeing as it's a recent thing. Also, make sure both Windows ME and Firefox are the latest editions.

My virus scan just went through yesterday so I doubt its a virus. I'll try FF3.

Do a virus scan, get rid of anything it finds.

If that doesn't solve the problem then uninstall firefox then reinstall the most up-to-date version.
