Firefox Update Solves Gmail Crash
in Web
It appears that the latest update to Firefox has solved a serious bug I often ran into. The browser would frequently crash if you try to switch tabs while loading Gmail. According to Mihai, the issue appears to now be fixed in version 1.5.0.2. Bug 265740 describes the problem and shows it as being resolved. Firefox 1.5.0.2 also fixed several other crash bugs.
So far I haven’t noticed any more crashes, but I will let you know if I do. Have you been using the update, and do you still experience crashes with Gmail?
I’m using 1.5.0.4 and crash every time I load Gmail. It actually started around the time I updgraded from 1.0, but I suspect it’s one of my extensions that does it.
It has been crashing for me lately as well. In the past it was the Google Toolbar that seemed to be causing my crashes. I have yet to remove it again and see if the crashes go away, as I love using that Google Suggest search box in the browser.
