For the past 3-4 days, whenever I right click and save an image (I have to do this for my work a lot), then I get a pop-up message in Firefox that says sorry there's an error with firefox.exe and that the browser will be shutting down.
:wtf
What could be causing this?
Thanks in advance,
Kori
Check that you don't have something on you 'Recent Items' folder that might no longer be available, like a file on a remote server that's not reachable. That could be one cause.
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall ?Quote:

You have to reinstall windows.
Do you have any special extensions installed Kori? Anything related to images specifically?
Download history is corrupted or virus scanning software is interfering.

Kori, you can also try a few of these: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments
firefox.exe -safe-mode
firefox.exe -CreateProfile KoriEllisFirefox
You can also try resetting all the preferences by using the information from this site: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Let me know if nothing works.
I cleared the download history and it's been working fine for the rest of the day.
Thanks everyone. I'll let you know if the problem comes back.
