The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Does the event log give any clues about the Windows crashes?

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.


Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

I too have this problem, only mine started when I installed version 22 or later on XP.

The first suggestion was no help at all. I tried it and the problem still happens.

The second suggestion seems to have worked so far but I'll see how long it lasts.
