A browser that crashes, especially when you’re on a surfing spree, can be quite a pain. Firefox is quite a dependable browser otherwise, but many Firefox users have a tough time when the browser crashes during a browsing session.
First, let’s get a fix on why Firefox snaps. Browser conflicts, too many add-ons, virus attacks or registry errors may be to blame. Here are a few things mytechgurus.com suggest you can try to get Firefox back on track.
Add-ons and plug-ins
When Firefox crashes, quite often your add-ons are to blame. Two add-ons that work perfectly well on their own may trigger a crash when they’re used together. A browser bloated with add-ons or conflicting add-ons also tend to crash.
So what can you do to fix the problem?
Disable all your extensions. Uninstall the ones you don’t use at all. Now, try adding the ones you want to keep, one at a time. You can easily figure out which one’s causing trouble and remove just that add-on.
Flash
Flash is a plug-in that supports Firefox when you play interactive content like videos, animation or even banners. Is your browser crashing when Flash is in action? Then, you may need to disable Flash. This is how you do it:
- Open Mozilla Firefox
- Click on the Tools Tab and then choose the Add-on option
- Scroll down to Shockwave Flash and disable this
Firefox cache
The Firefox browser cache tends to store way too much data from the websites you visit. These may eventually get corrupted or weigh down the browser. The result – time lags, crashes and a defunct browser.
Just clear your cache and restart – you’ll be surprised to see how your problems disappear!
Registry errors
This could be another cause for your browser glitches. Over time, you system tends to accumulate corrupted files or viruses. Running a registry cleaner on your system takes care of these PC errors. Although there are several fee registry cleaners out there, we recommend using a comprehensive registry cleaner that is, preferably, Microsoft certified. You can also opt to run this on a specific schedule – no more system crashes because you forgot to run a scan!
