Random Reboot issues (was Anyone else having random reboots with Firefox)

<< < (3/12) > >>

tinjaw:
Running it in Safe Mode might help pinpoint the problem.

Carol Haynes:
Well having uninstalled Firefox (using Your Uninstaller to remove all the extra registry entries and orphan files) and reinstalled from a fresh download all appears to be smooth (and a bit faster too). I'll see how it goes for a few days.

I did have a load of extensions installed but I used FEBE to backup my profile before the reinstall and have parred down the extensions to well known one that I find indefensible. At lease a FEBE backup means that I can add back any extensions as an when I want if things all seem to be running OK.

kimmchii:
check event viewer see if you can find any info there.

Carol Haynes:
No - because it instantly hard reboots nothing is written to the event log.

cmpm:
hmmm....I have firefox always running with minimize to tray add-on.
Surfing this morning, I was just looking, not clicking anything, and it just quit!
Firefox closed but everything else was running.

Here's what I did-
Reloaded Firefox without uninstalling it.

And much to my surprise Fasterfox add-on was on custom.
I would not put it on custom, I don't know enough.
Switched it to Turbo.

So far so good.

First sign of trouble ever, though it was getting slower.
It is faster now.
