I uninstalled the hack and it still crashes. I think it has something to do with the 64-bit version of FF but the 32-bit binary sucks on my computer the display gets really distorted and it looks ugly as poop.Tsuroerusu wrote:I doubt it's because of the extensions, try updating them in case there is a bug in one of them. I've learned that some apps just don't work well, or don't work at all, when compiled as a 64-bit binary, OpenOffice for instance won't work at all, maybe same thing is true with Firefox, but if it works fine with extensions.... then I don't think so, or just try using the binaries from mozilla.org, I use the ones SUSE provides, works great. I'm actually quite sure that "flash hack" you're doing has something to do with this, Macromedia's flash plugin is VERY picky, it's like a 6 year old that won't do anything it's being told, try disabling that and see, I'm almost sure that's where the problem is, you can also install SessionSaver (It's en extension) s you don't loose anything when the browser crashes.CptnObvious999 wrote:As for the crashing maybe it is because of some of my extensions (I recently uninstalled a bunch though so I only have 10 left and not much of an effect) or it could be that I'm running AMD64 or that I am using a flash hack to get it to work with firefox. Not sure but it is annoying. The sooner I get native AMD64 Flash the better.
If none of the above fixes the issue, try installing a 32-bit version of Firefox, you know, how much does it matter if Firefox is 32-bit or 64-bit? I doubt it makes you surf faster, you wanna surf faster then get a faster internet connection, I believe Gentoo's mozilla-bin package fetches the binaries from mozilla.org. One thing I noticed about SUSE's 64-bit version is that Firefox, OpenOffice... by default is all 32-bit, I think it's because it ensures better compatibility over all with proprietary plugins and so forth.
