hehehe

not bsod. but my firefox has been crash happy for quite a while now (months?) .... maybe to do with that reloadplus.... or maybe something else entirely

Well, I ran complete and extensive memory checks on my PC, both system memory and video memory, and there were no errors at all. Since I reinstalled Firefox fresh yesterday I have noticed a lot of improvements and fixes in areas where I was having issues before. So I guess every so often it might be a good idea to uninstall it, run a registry cleaner, and then reinstall with the latest version rather than totally relying on updates. I also turned off the hardware acceleration and I have had no crashes or BSOD's since. I also turn off hardware acceleration in IE. Here's hoping all is well!

before to Standby or Hibernate the OS always close Firefox (my restart after the Standby is only lasting 20 seconds well spent)

daily check this page http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ and keep all the plugins updated

and ... if you like the Tabs Previews resting on a Dock (autohide) use my new Stylish style http://userstyles.org/styles/94040/topsidebar-tabspreview-dock

BTW only on Firefox !

Thanks for the info frankell, I already keep all my add-ons up to date though. Not too sure about the dock, I am really basically a minimalist kinda guy. Nice looking though!

Myopia runs rampant through his genes....

OK, had another BSOD, and using the WhoCrashed software Jim recommended it showed it being caused by my video drivers. So then I rolled back the drivers and installed the latest drivers from nVidia for my GTX560 cards, turned on SLI, and then re-enabled hardware acceleration in Firefox and IE since that evidently wasn't it. Now we shall wait and see ...

Except I only got them using Firefox watching live streaming video, and got several of them per day.

Watching the same video streaming (from the same streaming sites) on Chrome, I did not incur BSODs.

I also am using Pale Moon x64 . I have Google also but it runs much slower than Pale Moon. Google sometimes does not load web pages correctly, but that is on my system, not everyone has same problem , Firefox in the past crashed quite a few times than I found Pale Moon and it runs flawlessly on my PC , but like I said before not everyone will have the same result on there PC. If your running 64bit you could try these Waterfox, Cyberfox, or maybe Nightly. I have tried them all and they seem to work great with Windows 7 64bit O.S Hope you find the problem alot of times it is something simple at-least in my case .

The firefox media plugins could be making slightly different calls and hitting some bug in the hardware video acceleration. It's impossible to say without actually looking at the BSOD, but the fact remains that FF can't be causing it directly.

side question, help please.

my version of FF has flash disabled. I noticed that in a post above that frankell has flash updated and enabled. How do I update flash so that FF will recognize it. I can't find an update listed within the FF add-ons.

Well Flash is not an Addon but a Plugin

using Firefox you can activate Flash going here (copy and paste in your address bar)

about:addons

then on the left side click on Plugins

to update just click the following link

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

click on update and when in the Adobe page pay attention to uncheck the MCAfee optional offer

As  I did I suggest to create 2 Bookmarks pointing to the 2 links !

I can get that far. Sorry I used the incorrect terms.

In the add-on manager flash it is showing as disabled (ver. 11.5.502.110), clicking on the update button takes me to a notification page that states that flash for certain versions has been disabled and not available. It doesn't provide me with an updated version or link to one.

Maybe a link to the newer FF version?

One thing that has been causing a massive number of Blue screens in Firefox is the newer Nvidia drivers on the 4xx series of cards.

If you have an Nvidia card, reinstall driver ver 314.22. 

Nvidia drivers have been absolutely awful lately on their older cards.

I have the GTX560 cards, installed the latest drivers for them from nVidia and so far so good. (Crosses fingers).

here you go for the newer Firefox 24.0 (official stable version)
