Firefox bug??

General

Vote Down

Firefox has started to close sporadically (specifically whenever i type anything). It doesn't happen very often, but often enough to be a real pain in the ass! What's more it doesn't ask to 'open last season' when i reboot it so i have to re-find where ever i was. Is this a bug or some sort of malware?? Anyone else getting similar probs/solutions?? 🙁

Nor me but there was a peice I read I while ago stating it happens with older versions, try re downloading or updating. It should do it.

Ooooh dear, the dreaded curse of the browser hijacker. Download hijackthis and post a log to castlecops.com or bleepingcomputer.com, they'll help you sort it out....

I've heard about this. Apparently, all you can do is stay at home, take some paracetamol/aspirin and drink lots of liquids.

Hang in there.

Install/update any extensions lately?

Disable them all, and see if it still happens. If not, then you more than likely have extensions conflicting with each other.

If you have FEBE installed (you should! ), restore a backup from before you got this problem.
