the problem is at your end jon7. Have never hangs, not even once. And you didnt say what version and what addons you are using, so.
Version 14.01. My addons are adblock plus, noscript, pocket, xmarks, last pass, tile tabs. When i was writing the message i had 5 crashes !!!
@jon7 I experienced same issue. Which is resolved now. I had to uninstall flash and installed v11.4.402.265
uninstall that and load Flash Player 11.2 Here are the direct download links for Flash Player 11.2.202.235 (Windows): ActiveX installer for Internet Explorer on 64-bit systems h_ttp://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win /install_flash_player_11_active_x_64bit.exe Plugin installer for other browsers on 64-bit systems h_ttp://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win /install_flash_player_11_plugin_64bit.exe
add ProtectedMode=0 to %WinDir%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg Mine looks like this: Code: AutoUpdateDisable=0 SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1 ProtectedMode=0
Ok i did it, but nothing. I reinstalled firefox 3 times but it keeps crashing !! I don't know what else to do. i disabled all my extensions again to check if an extension is not compatible with windows 8.
Does the Firefox crash reporter come up after a crash? If so, post a link to the crash report that it sent; a look at the stack trace is the best way to diagnose a crash, instead of blindly guessing...
So, it seems, that you are one of the unlucky guys with issues on FF. Perhaps the Metro version will work well in the near future. I'm sorry not to be able to help you any further on your problem
