Firefox 2.0 shuts down, calls home, reports. Screen back to start up.
Click on Firefox, message box choices are “Resume” and “Home page.”
This happens all to frequently, often inconvenient.
Allso downloads a lot of items every time you resume activity.
Haven’t had any trouble with FF2 on Macs, PCs, or Linux.
Perhaps a bad install? Some problem with the OS? Guess I don’t have a clue as to what could be causing your problem, but Good Luck. Hope you figure it out soon.
Me too!
May be not enough RAM. It may be the OS is slow and the stack has too many calls.
I expect Mozilla is getting a lot more system reports the normal.
I was using the old version, and have been for a couple of years. It has always been highly stable. Then, when 2.0 came out, I didn’t bother installing it for a few days, and in that time 1.0.7 (or whatever it is) started acting all ornery and crashing if I so much as looked sideways at it. Can a jealous program suicide? Spooky.
Anyway, on my third day of using 2.0, and no dramas so far. I’ve even taken the opportunity to install the (already available) Pimpzilla theme. Gem-encrusted gold buttons on a background of fur. What more could you ask for?
No problems with my FF2.0, except that you should disable or uninstall the Tabbrowser Preferences extension until they get around to fixing it (that extension causes some rather weird bugs in FF2.0, but I haven’t seen any comments about it causing crashes).
Only time I’ve ever had FF 2 crash on me was when I was visiting some blinged out Myspace page. And, frankly, those’ll crash anything. It was probably my browser dying from shame.
No problems at all after my upgrading. Works fine and I lvoe the spell checker.
You may want to go to the FF forum here
and post your questions. They are very good at solving problems, and from looking at the threads, there have been quite a few.
Firefox II on Ubuntu Linux here.
No problems other than stupidly installing the Esperanto version so I had no idea whatsoever what I was doing.
Reverting to English sorted that though.
It works for me, too. But…it’s a web browser, for Og’s sake. It’s not like there are a shortage of them. If it doesn’t work for you, and you don’t need one of it’s specific features (and you probably don’t), then it’s not worth the time to solve the problem.
