Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 Every time I fire up any Netscape-based browser, it crashes on my computer. Is this a Microsoft-based conspiracy, or is there any way for me to give you helpful information to determine the source of this crash? I have reinstalled it like, seven times already.

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 What kind of error are you getting? Is it a blue screen of death-type of thing, or is it something else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 Just a standard XP "This program has encountered an error and must close" type shit. No BSOD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Er, I got nothing. There's been reports about versions of Firefox / Firebird being hella unstable, though, so - unfortunately - I'd have to point the finger at that, given what I've heard. But that's all I got.

Bullshit. I have Firefox on two machines and it's running perfect. Many other reports of it working fine as well. What exact browser are you using? Netscape, Mozilla or Firefox/bird?

razazteca 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 I had the same thing happen to me when I tried to use netscape navigator a few years ago. This myth is true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Currently, I'm running Avant v. 9.00 and it never, ever, ever crashes. Whenever I run the very latest version of Firefox -- or, for that matter, any previous versions -- it crashes shortly after I start it up with one of those zany "This program has encountered an error and must close" dialogues. Every time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 You didn't disable all your extensions and shit before upgrading, huh? You're going to have to start it up with the -p extension and make a new profile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OctoberBlood Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Well, you are making 2 bad moves. First, Dean is a joke. Secondly, stick with Avant. It's great and better than Mozilla or Firebird, atleast IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrRant 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 A simple way to put it would be uninstall Firefox and delete any profiles that are left on your computer (the Mozilla FireFox folder) and then reinstall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 But like, I didn't have a profile before, either... It has always crashed, from the moment I first installed Firebird like, six months ago. I just tried it again with Firefox, and it still crashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 You get a profile just from installing. Try what I said and then install Firefox clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Alright, I'll try it a lil' later and come back with the results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Simple Question: Is the Windows XP legit ? As in, did you buy it, open the box and install it...or are you complaining about an illegal downloaded upgrade not working? Sometimes it's the keygen that fucks it up.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Also, Event Manager logs the error with more detailed information than what you're seeing. Let us know what it says if it keeps happening. To open, open the Run window and type in eventvwr.msc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
