Mozilla Firefox crashes when I try to initiate a download or open Downloads tab
« on: July 18, 2012, 02:02:28 AM »
Title.

Has this ever happened to anyone? I have no clue how to fix it. Every time I wish to make a download, I have to specifically open Internet Explorer to do so. I followed a simple would-be-solution found on google but to no avail.

I was warned a hundred times and received just as many mutes as Sota, and a ban too. That doesn't really make me stupid, I consider my self to be smart.

I don't consider you smart.

I'm not particularly concerned about your opinion regarding me. You don't look like you're too smart either, eh?

Uninstall and reinstall.

Or use Chrome.

use Chrome.

I switched from FF to chrome because it just stopped working with certain websites one day. Haven't had any problems with chrome since.

Shoo, Chrome advertisers! You won't convert me!

At least if the uninstallation is successful... I don't like to rely on Internet Explorer.

Have any add-ons installed? Try disabling them and seeing if downloading still crashes.
Also, does it happen no matter how you try to download? Left-click on link? Right-click and save-as? DownThemAll or other download manager?

Could also give Portable Firefox a spin, to eliminate few other sources which might cause trouble.

Absolutely nothing about you is acceptable, but it works somehow. Like a car going backwards on the freeway, you get where you're trying to go eventually, but everyone is staring and keeping their distance.

Just as I once had a similar problem with a bizarre fix: Do you have FRAPS or similar running that put a Framerate overlay on things? Try turning it off and doing a DL.

It seems like awesome-J takes the prize with his correct recommendation. Disabled 2 mods and it works fine now! \o/

Thank you all for your time, cheers.
