Firefox crashed on me last night, and now won't restart (even in safe mode). Anyone got any ideas? I hesitate to re-install it, as I would lose add-ons, etc.
I think installing a newer version of Firefox will not over write your add-ons, the newer version bring them in very easily, except ones that do not have a new version. Most of the add-ons the moment there is a new Firefox version release their own version or a patch.
My favorite add-ons -http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-15-Firefox-Addons
you may follow the instructions from the following link:

I think, it may be helpful
T.,
Have you got this issue figured out?
I can't remember how I fixed it (or even whether I did so). The great thing about losing short-term recall is finding these things out about myself -- here, that I was smart enough to ask for help! Sorry I can't pass along what worked, though. . . .
Its all good. Try to next time..or at the very least, let us know you worked through the problem. I'll be trying to help anyone here as I can with this ish.
Sincerely,
G|M
I had that problem with Flock. I can't get it to stop crashing. I'm back to using Firefox.
Hi
just reinstall your firefox, you won't lose your add-ons.
You could look at my hub on "firefox add-ons" and back up all your add-on settings, if needed.
As a precaution you can save your plugins and extensions. They are all in Program Files/Mozilla FireFox. COPY not MOVE them to another location.
reinstall FireFox with the latest version.
If the reinstall did not keep the plugins and extensions, you can just copy them back.
The crash may be due to one or more of your extensions. Disable them and add them back one at a time.
I reckon it's windows, they see Firefox as a real threat to I.E. so they make it crash to upset users to bring them back, :-)

For a browser, what is the difference between Add-ons, extensions, plugins and applications?They look like pretty same. Are they just different words for the same thing or is there some thenical differnce between them as well?

Firefox 4 was released today, so you may get a notice from your browser that an update is available.The Forum Filter does not yet work with Firefox 4!I thought I would have more time before the official release of FF4, so I am not quite done yet I hope to publish the new version of Forum Filter...

Has Anyone Installed the Latest Firefox Version?Firefox was simple, and had an intuitive layout. This latest version (29.0.1) is dreadful!
