Err, I seem to have a slight problem with Firefox:
Every now and then, when I try to open a site instead of opening it, a download pop-up appears and it downloads the site instead of opening it. Any clues on what could be wrong?
And another one: Sometimes when opening a page with images, it crashes completely (eg. when I search google for sisters of mercy when I'm too lazy to remember the URL)
Perhaps I just have a faulty edition of the browser, or? (though it appears to be the latest one)

That usually happens when a web server has been incorrectly configured, and the server is setting the wrong Response Headers / content type for a particluar file suffix.Obviousman wrote:Err, I seem to have a slight problem with Firefox:

(it's not a Firefox problem)
Sounds like too little RAM - how much have you got in your PC?Obviousman wrote:And another one: Sometimes when opening a page with images, it crashes completely (eg. when I search google for sisters of mercy when I'm too lazy to remember the URL)

Thanks Never had the not-FF problem with MSIE or Opera though, but if you say so it must be right
Got 512RAM, used to be my pride back when I got it (at the place where I bought it they told me I was crazy to put so much in)

It may be that there's a slight corruption in your installation of FF - maybe reinstalling it will fix that.
