Hello.

I use firefox with many addons, i use it for work so is essential.

My problem is:

It keeps crashing and crashing. I load it, 5 mins later the flash plugin crashes and a few hours or less later is firefox that crashes.

I dont know what to do. This is terrible for me.

Hope somebody here can help me. Thanks.

check memory utilization history graph in task manager, see if it has a linear growth when you're not doing anything, then check which process is causing it. If it's Firefox 12 then you probably have the same issue I have. Downgrading to v11 fixed it for me.

thanks for your reply, nope, i checked and the memory usage is normal. I have almost the same problem in FF 11, only that now with 12 seems to be more regular.
