| 696158 | 2008-08-09 21:37:00 | Hi Guys I have been on Firefox 3 since it came out and in general like it very much. However, it does seem to crash out quite a bit on sites such as the NZ Herald and Stuff. Do you think this could be a) My machine b) Firefox c) The Herald and Stuff's web site ? |

| 696160 | 2008-08-09 21:45:00 | It doesn't happen to me on Firefox 3. It's either your computer or a bad add-on. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 696161 | 2008-08-09 21:54:00 | Possibly a combination of all three. What extensions/plugins do you have installed? You might also benefit from NoScript (addons.mozilla.org). If specific websites are affecting your browser it will be because of JS and plugins. I don't use it personally but with NoScript you can block all JS and plugins but whitelist certain domains (*youtube.com for example). |

| 696163 | 2008-08-10 00:08:00 | No problem here with 3.0.1, it's probably your PC (something to do with things outside of FF) | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 696164 | 2008-08-10 00:11:00 | There are known problems with Firefox 3 and older versions of Microsoft Silverlight. A change Mozilla made in the way plugins work with the browser causes problems for Silverlight, and can result in FF3 crashing without explanation. I believe it is addressed in the latest update for Silverlight. You should also check that you don't have any other add-ons (themes, extensions) which are known to have problems with FF3. |

| 696165 | 2008-08-10 02:52:00 | It will be C) as I cant open Stuff in Firefox 1.0.7 with out it crashing, so I think it may be a bit of code in the website that firefox does not like. | stu161204 (123) | ||
| 696166 | 2008-08-10 04:00:00 | Weird I spent half the morning on Stuff catching up with the Olympics in FF3 no problems | gary67 (56) | ||
| 696167 | 2008-08-12 22:24:00 | Hi Guys Thanks for the suggestions etc. I have tried those two sites Stuff and The Herald with Internet Explorer and they do not crash ! ! But sometimes an "Information Box" comes up saying that an Active X control for Adobe may need installing ! So I think I may have to do something Firefox 3.00. |
