I have Firefox on a Mac, with 23 extensions installed. Very occasionally, it bombs (usually when leaving Gmail) but otherwise it's been fine. Maybe the people who have problems should try, you know, just closing it now and then. Not exactly a high-tech solution, but it works OK for me. Having said that, I often run my computer and Firefox for days at a time.
I would be interested in the alternatives, but afaict they don't exist. Another browser with extensions like Adblock, Web Developer Toolbar, Firebug, etc? I doubt it.
- apu 18y agoDoes anyone else have these gmail-crashing problems (e.g., when leaving gmail's site)? I looked at their FAQs and it suggests some problem with firebug, but even with it disabled I often get crashes.
- m0nty 18y agoIt only crashes when I try to leave gmail, and then only about 10% of the time, so it's not a big deal. I think I disabled Firebug when on Gmail. It only started when the latest version of Gmail was introduced, so I suspect it's a bug at their end, but tracking it down could prove awkward.
