How i fixed Crashing Firefox on Windows 7

Recently I had nightmare when Firefox started crashing consonantly on my Windows 7 machine. I like Firefox because it runs 10x faster then Internet explorer , even on Windows 7 -64 bit Edition the Firefox speed was significantly faster then Internet explorer. I am using Trend Micro Internet Security on my Windows 7 machines, reason i picked Trend Micro Internet security again because of speed reason, Comparing to Symantec Norton Internet Security TrendMicro is much better because it doesn’t slows down your PC even scanner is running in background.

Fixed FireFox Crashing

Recently Firefox version 3.63 start crashing automatically, problem got so worse that it wouldn’t let me even open the firefox windows.

What i did to fix Crashing Firefox on Windows 7

1.I read on Firefox support forums that i can try running firefox in safe mode , it didn’t worked out for me because i was not able to run firefox in safe mode.

2.It got so worse that i have to un-install the firefox out of my Windows 7 desktop and then reinstalled it. Guess what that didn’t resolved the issue, even after removing firefox and re-installing the crashing issue didn’t fixed

3.I tried removing firefox and installed older verison of firefox, started firefox 3.5 but that crashed right away , i wasn’t able to removed any addons, plugins.

4.Then i tried a system restore before i installed Windows 7 patches, i thought may be newly installed windows patches is responsible for Firefox crash.

I gave up and start using Chrome, but my love affair with Firefox didn’t vanished, for two days i survived without firefox, I am not the person who gave up easily, then i realized it’s probably some kind of rootkit or trojan or virus that TrendMicro is not able to detect , that could be issue. I started reading review on Security/Mal-ware Scanner and one of the top that came up in my list was Spyware Doctor, i purchased spyware Doctor and started scan on my PC , right after 10 minutes it did picked up some serious rootkit on my PC.

I managed to removed the rootkit and sure started Firefox , bingo ! that was it , I was able to get Firefox running again. I added Spyware Doctor to my Security Software list , Spyware Doctor not only saved me from root-kit and harmful security attacks but it helped my fixed Crashing Firefox error .

If your Firefox is crashing constantly and you are not able to get it running then try Spyware Doctor , It will fix your crashing Firefox issue. Good luck!
