Have used Firefox on my mini-laptop for ages but since a couple of days ago it comes up with a crash message (can still use Firefox on my desktop with no problems).
Have completely removed it and reloaded it a few times but problem still persists.
Any ideas folks?

I use XP on my laptop and was using Firefox v 7.0
Whilst working on my desktop I just noticed upgrade to v 8.0 so downloaded this for my desktop (runs Windows 7)
Still puzzled why when I have deleted the previous Firefox installation then downloaded it again (which vesion should it be I wonder - 8.0?) why I got that error message.
Hey ho will try another download later.

Could it be the Firefox user profile which has boobed up?
Try opening Firefox in the Profile Manager mode and create a new profile and test that.

As TheJudge says, may be a problem with your FireFox profile. I've had a few problems with the FFprofile for a few updates with FF and had to wipe the profile and start from scratch

Hello folks - thanks for your interest and offers of advice.
I have just tried downloading Firefox 2011 version - and bingo I am up and running again!
Don't know what was happening but am a happy budgie again. Cheers to all.
