Firefox keeps crashing when I write emails

Please tell us from what web site... or you mean Mozilla Thunderbird mail

Thank you

No, I don't mean Mozilla Thunderbird! I don't use it. I access my email accounts directly with my Firefox browser. The problem lies with Firefox, not Yahoo or Msn or Gmail, etc. Once it crashes and I click on 'return to session' the problem is solved. . .until the next time I start Firefox anew. The crashes always occur when I want to delete spam, upload a picture or file, download the same. Sometimes Firefox just stops. . .or stalls. . .and I have to force a quit to continue.

Hope that has been of assistance. If not, please let me know.

Bill

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

firefox

Thanks! I've tried what you said and it seems to work better. I have tried all the things where firefox used to crash and nothing has happened so far, but I still don't know where the problem lies. I will try it a few days more just to make sure, then report back.

Cheers

Hi,

Firefox crashed again tonight as I was trying to copy and paste part of a message from one mailbox to another. The terminal had the following message:

          segmentation fault (core dumped)

Hope this helps you.

Why don't you try to upgrade your system to a more recent release...?

It may solve your issue.

Thank you

Seems to me the issue lies with Firefox and not my system. I had Firefox before, when I was dependent on Microsoft, and didn't have this particular problem. I tried to upgrade my sytem once to ubuntu 7.04 but my screen resolution was caught at an impossible 640X480
