Adobe was not keeping up with Flash updates and releases, nor were users updating regularly. Crashes happened as a direct result of landing on a page created or featuring Flash elements.
UPDATE: The crashes were clearly not a result of problems with Firefox but with Adobe Flash. Literally thousands have reported on Firefox 5 crashing across all platforms, including Windows and Mac. You can modify the browser settings to your preference and load back the bookmarks once installation is complete.If you are one of the thousands suffering constant crashes from the June update of Mozilla Firefox 5, realize you are not alone. Visit to download the latest version of the application. Now it is time for reinstallation, you may choose to restart the computer though it is not necessary since a message box will appear after the application is reinstalled prompting you to restart to complete the process. This folder contains all the Firefox browser files, including the profile, extensions, settings and bookmarks folder.
However, on Windows systems you will have to select 'My Computer' or 'Local Disk (C:)' and select 'Program Files' to ensure that the Mozilla Firefox applications folder is removed. On Apple computers (MacBook series), go to the Finder and choose the Applications folders and drag/drop the program in the trash can - this should remove all the files associated with Mozilla Firefox for Apple computers. Open the 'Control Panel' if Windows XP is running on the computer, select 'Add/Remove Programs' on Windows 7 and 8 computers choose 'Programs and Features' and find Firefox (Mozilla Firefox) and uninstall. If you have important bookmarks saved, you may want to back up the files. At the outset of crashes, it is recommended to use the virus and malware-protection software installed or any other computer maintenance program to scan the system for any viruses or errors that may have interfered with Firefox files. The following fix will assist in solving the crashes as it relates to corrupted Firefox Profiles or missing extensions. Sign up for The Gleaner’s morning and evening newsletters.
