Firefox crashing a lot after update?

[Khurram]

Firefox has been constantly crashing for me after the latest leopard update..
is anyone else having this problem?
On a side note, I also cannot connect to adium

system update is pretty big, I suggest you save your bookmarks and passwords, and then do a new profile for firefox.

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by a new profile for firefox?

These are I posted before. Helpfully it will solve your problem. (I think new profile generally can solve 99% of the problem of firefox.

You do need to reinstall extensions and themes afterwards.

new profile, firefox will create a folder to save all the caches, sessions, extensions, themes, cookies, passwords, bookmarks, etc. that folder is called profile. check www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile for its location.

you can just rename the folder "firefox" to something else (with fx closed), next time firefox starts, it will create a new one automatically. if this turns out helpful, you can just delete the old profile folder (you just renamed).

to save your bookmarks and passwords, go into your profile, copy out the files

bookmarks.html is your bookmark
signons2.txt and key3.db are your passwords (signons is password, key3 is the decrypter to decipher the signons.txt which is encrypted)
