Firefox 36 crashing

[dextersmith]

My firefox (with Win 7) auto-updated to 36 and keeps crashing every 2 min to 3 hrs. I uninstalled 36, deleted the folder, installed 35 and it still crashes even when idle. I have all plugins, themes and extensions updated but disabled and hardware acceleration off as google suggested. Can anyone help?

do you have flash? I had a issue with the the recent flash update causing crashing had to do a fresh instal of flash to fix it. might help might not.

Telling us what you are doing when it is crashing might help

I updated it.

Edit: reinstalled flash, no change.

Sometimes youtube, sometimes chess, googling, reading/posting here. Sometimes I'm afk and find the restart/quit option upon returning. Did a virus/malware scan (nothing). ff34/35 with clean installs still crash, no other apps are problematic.

Have you checked again to see if they added a newer version of Flash?

Currently I'm using Firefox 36.0.1 and Flash 17.0.0.134.

Lord, why is Firefox at 36?
Are they padding 3.6 or what?
I dun get their numbers

No crashes so far, since yesterday.

I think their version numbering changed sometime ago and now they release a new version every 1-2 months.

Flash is getting worse. What's with the big 5 second freeze when switching to full screen in flash? Never used to do that.

I think I fixed it by updating my video card driver. Thanks everyone.

ya im having this issue as well, it seems to not matter what website or whatever, but firefox will stop responding then resume after like a minute or 2 or sometimes stop completely and forcing me to close it through task manager.

An additional step if you have a headset, is to plug it out, wait a few seconds and plug it back in. Sometimes the connection between the audio drivers and anything that uses it gets corrupted.

Mine went beyond freezing, it shut down and gave an option to restart.
