Firefox, and now Thunderbird crash continuously. Loading previous versions don't help. Windows XP SP3...yeah, I know it's no longer supported, but why won't previous versions work OK ? Can't submit reports which fail also.

Thanks for any help.

If the above doesn't help,

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.
