I like Firefox, but about a month ago it started crashing randomly. I do mean randomly. I'm very methodical and analytical about trying to find the source and there appeared to be none.
I recently formated my HD and reinstalled my OS from scratch (Vista Ultimate 32). My to my surprise, Firefox actually crashes more now. It literally cannot function. If I click the address bar or search bar, it crashes. Now it won't start at all without a crash. In Safe Mode it will start, but same story, can't click address or search bars.
Mind you this is a fresh install of Firefox with absolutely no plug-ins other than the defaults that come with Firefox (and in safe mode even those are turned off). This is also on a fresh install of my OS with virtually no other programs running.
I'm trying out Chrome in the interim, but I like the add-on support of Firefox and want it back. Any thoughts? BTW.... IE and Chrome seem completely stable.
