| | browser crashes--mozilla firefox & ie7 i have so many problems with Windows Vista, i can't even tell you. i'm meeting with a friend soon to address many of them, but there's one i can't tolerate or figure out. i've looked everywhere, so as a last-ditch, i'm asking here. Vista is crashing my browser, which happens to be Mozilla Firefox. however, from what i've read, it also crashes IE7, so it's an equal opportunity glitch. is there a patch i'm missing? it's getting worse & worse. it used to happen occasionally, & now it happens every time i browse. please help me while i still have a few strands of hair left to pull out. diane in seattle |

| | RE: browser crashes--mozilla firefox & ie7 Don't make wild statements about IE7! You are using Firefox; not IE7! And problems in IE7 are normally caused by 3rd party add-ons, not the Browswer itself!

| | Re: browser crashes--mozilla firefox & ie7 The only time my IE7 crashed was from the Flash add-on from Adobe. An update from Adobe fixed this problem.

| | Re: browser crashes--mozilla firefox & ie7 Diane, By any chance do you have the Flash player plug-in? I found much of my browser crashes occurred when I installed Flash. I had the problem with both IE7 and with FireFox.
