Why does firefox crash when loading webpages?
I have Firefox on my old laptop with Windows Vista. My computer is connected and recieving an internet signal, but when I open firefox, it will load a mozilla page with a google search bar, but once I select a different webpage or type in a search term, the page closes, and a small window pops up with the title "Mozilla Crash Reporter." When I click on "restart firefox," I get the "well, this is embarrassing" screen. Clicking restore takes me straight back to the google page... a vicious cycle.
I believe it may be virus related as I've also saved documents from the same laptop to a memory stick, which do not show up when I try to pull them up on another computer. It isn't the stick or other computer. I've searched about possible viruses, but cannot find anything.
