firefox crashes since 13 and still crashes in 14. The only thing you need to do is open firefox, then wait, it usually crashes in less than 30s, but sometime it won't crash and I don't know why. I try to disable all extensions and enable them one by one, but I find firefox crashes even when I click "enable"(there is nothing enabled yet when I click it)

I find out what's the problem. If you enable sync extension in setting->sync(which I enabled recently in my PC and laptop, I believe it's a new feature), then it would crash. That's why both my lab PC and laptop are crashing everyday. I'm in China, so there may be some kind of internet block causing this bug. But the other sync are fine.

It seems to be crashing on allocating memory.

Do you have 1 GB memory installed?

Does it help if you disable some programs to reduce the overall memory usage?

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

It still crashes when i boot into win safe mode. I've read http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+crashes

dont know what I can do? I'm in safe mode,there is no programme running, no video driver. hardware acceleration is disabled. Firefox don't crash if there is no extension enabled.But sometime crashes when I click enable(even there is no ext enabled yet),so I don't know if it's some exts cause this problem. it also crashes when I dis or enable plugins
