Admins, any ideas?Mine is the current version. I've not had any problems here.

I will see if I can get the log information if it happens again. I think most if not all of the crashes occurred when I had LBG open in a tab. Do you think tab usage vs. separate browser window might have anything to do with it?
Originally Posted by bambam I've been using the latest firefox for months with no problems. Are you getting any error message or is it just closing?Well in the middle of my last post, Firefox hung. It did not crash, but just stopped updating. I went ahead and posted my reply, but had no clue if it worked. Came back in using IE and found the post worked, but Firefox is seriously hung. I had separate browser windows as well. Both windows are hung. I have observed this behaviour as well in the past. I am on my work computer right now, but the same kinds of things happen on my home machine. It is very frustrating and apparently localized to me. How exciting is that?

It seems to happen when I click on a link or am trying to post and the web site performs an update (this wacked me most recently). Also, when I kill the Firefox windows after it hangs, the firefox.exe process does not go away. I have to manually kill it using the Task Mangler.
I doubt the tabs have anything to do with it, but I've been wrong before. Is LBG.com the only website causing you problems?
). If you want me to do some in-depth toubleshooting at this end, I am game. Just give me good destructions.

Haven't found anybody that knows why this is happening yet, just that the forum software and firefox 1.5 aren't getting along for the occasional user. Reported crashes and hangs.I disabled avatar display. No help. It just crashed around 8:35 PST. The offending routine within Firfox is RtlpWaitForCriticalSection. It is generating an access violation (Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)). I pulled all this information from the Dr. Watson event log. Anything else I can provide?
Something that has worked for at least one user is disabling viewing of avatars in your user control panel. In the "Options" page there is a "Show Avatars" checkbox under the "Thread Display Options" section. If this works for you, please report back.
