ok so i put together a new system and i can't get firefox to work right on it. it closes for no apparent reason without a crash message or anything. i suspect this might be an issue of incompatibility with the cpu (phenom ii x6). ie6 acted the same way until i updated it to ie8 --> problem solved. google chrome never had this problem to begin with. any suggestions?
