Mozilla Firefox: is there anyone else having problems downloading stuff..?

[[A]]

Almost every time I click on a download link -at any site- Firefox would crash and then show that little annoying window asking me if I wanna report this, that, blah blah blah

Anyone else having this...............inconvenient?

I had to install Chrome to download some stuff..

 

[Drakon]

No....

What version are you running?

 

[[A]]

3.0.5

 

[Drakon]

Then it might be a problem with an addon compatibility, perhaps?

 

[[A]]

Could be, could be.. but it should be download-related? Cos I got none (I just got one, but been having problems since before that)

I only got AdBlock Plus, a youtube-vid downloader and the weather thingy.



"since before"? am I killing the language?

 

[Drakon]

I dunno about the weather thing, but I know that Video Downloader updated recently, as did Download Them All, and I think Adblock. Try updating them, and re-installing Firefox, to be sure. That should do it.

I don't have a problem with Mozilla Firefox, but I have a question.
I was using Internet Explorer, but I was told to try Mozilla. I have been using it for a few hours now and it seems a lot better. Pages are loading a lot faster and imbedded videos play more easily.
My question is: Is Mozilla Firefox really much better than IE or am I just not seeing the flaws yet?

 

[Drakon]

Yes.

 

[Double Down]

Is that "yes" to both parts of my question?

 

[Drakon]

Sorry. IE is, as far as I've seen, significantly better than IE.

 

[Double Down]

Sorry. IE is, as far as I've seen, significantly better than IE.

Is the first IE supposed to be Mozilla? That's what I'm guessing.

 

[Drakon]

Damnit all to hell. Mozilla > IE.

 

[Double Down]

Great. Thank you. I'm going to try using it from now on and see how it works out.

 

[Drakon]

Don't forget to check for some of the addons, too, like Gmail Notifier.

 

[Double Down]

Cool. I'll have to look at them.

FF crashes for me when I try to watch a video like on Fox.com.

personally....
Uninstall firefox...
Download and install a new version...

Then go after the addons...
