It crashes all the time now both home and work over videos. Chrome works fine.

Running 14.0.1 with usually about a dozen tabs about at a time, works fine.

Firefox has had a progressive problem with memory leaks that seem to never get fixed.

I only ever use it anymore for eBay related stuff and that's only because eBay hasn't gotten off their ass and updated things to work properly with Chrome --- 3 years later.

I just recently had the same problem with firefox. While a reboot fixed the consistent crashing, chrome doesn't make me reboot my computer so I'm using it now.

Sounds like problems with Flash.

I've been having problems with it as well. It's been giving me a lot of "redirect.ha"s whenever I go to certain sites, yours for example. It's pissing me the hell off cause I don't know how to fix it.

@ Canada142:

That sounds more like a DNS issue than something that FF is doing.

Try this:
1. START > RUN > type "cmd"
2. type "ipconfig /flushdns"

If after flushing your DNS cache the issue persists than its possible your ISP is using a crappy DNS nameserver to resolve web address queries. For a list of free alternatives see this site:

EDIT: The above is predicated on the assumption that your PC is not infected with malware which if it is, the above will more than likely not resolve your issue.

In the past 2 weeks, Firefox has suddenly gotten a LOT worse. I am pretty sure it's flash-related, but I use chrome and flash is fine.
I think their last update started it. It's horrible, and crashes every hour for me. So I'm now using Chrome.

I can`t even use it for work. It`s got major memory leakage as over time it will consume nearly a gig of memory and start to slow horribly. Such a shame. I hope they fix it.
