Problems with Firefox Shutting Down
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
Re: Problems with Firefox Shutting Down
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 ?
Also, if you have saved Firefox.exe, delete it.
Re: Problems with Firefox Shutting Down
You have to reinstall windows.
Re: Problems with Firefox Shutting Down
Do you have any special extensions installed Kori? Anything related to images specifically?
Re: Problems with Firefox Shutting Down
Download history is corrupted or virus scanning software is interfering.

No, I don't have any extensions.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'll clear the download history and see if that helps.
Re: Problems with Firefox Shutting Down
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.
Re: Problems with Firefox Shutting Down
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.
