I recently updated my firefox after doing updates and cleaning out my computer. Firefox was working fine with the old version not problems. Now I am lucky to be online for more than five mins before it crashes. Doesn't matter what page I'm on or what I am doing. No plug ins currently installed as I have only had this for two days and can't be online long enough to do anything. I hate explorer please help me fix this issue.

hello, unfortunately this seems to be a crash that is appearing in firefox 19 on windows 8 with AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphics cards - developers are investigating the causes of it...

the best option probably is to downgrade to the to the former version at the moment until this gets sorted out: Install an older version of Firefox ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/18.0.2/win32/

the auto-update in firefox 18 for the affected systems is now disabled and will be turned back on when a fix is available.
