Possibly a cache problem.\n\nHold <ctrl> and press <f5> to load from the server bypassing your browser cache.

I'm having the exact same problem.  I've tried multiple browsers, I've made sure Java was updated, nothing works.  It's not your system, it's Yahoo's fault, but their customer service is worthless, there's nothing we can do. For anyone who hasn't bought it yet, please don't buy it.

this is a common problem with IE. if you use Firefox the tabbed browsing asks you to confirm first if you want to close all tabs, so you never close everything by mistake.

What operating system are you running and what browser are you using?

After a Windows Update about a month ago, there was a problem where entering something into the address bar would do nothing, but not crash the browser...  I'm not sure if your issue is related to this bug, but you might want to visit http://www.windowsupdate.com/ and see if there's anything your computer is lacking in the update department that will fix the problem.\n\nIt could also be spyware.  The fact that you're entering in information when the crash occurs points to this more than some other situations---It's almost as if a piece of spyware was removed, but not fully, and something that a lingering piece of spyware is looking for is no longer there, causing the crash.  Run several spyware programs.  I like the trio of Pest Patrol (you can get from the Yahoo toolbar), Ad-Aware, and Spybot S&D (both available from http://www.download.com/) for a good amount of coverage.\n\nIt also could be a security program.  Try disabling Firewalls, pop-up blockers, and in-broswer toolbars and see if the issue goes away.  You can disable most security programs by seeking them out in the system tray (area in the lower right next to the clock), right clicking and choosing disable/quit/exit, etc.  Toolbars can be disabled by going to view>toolbars and removing the check by clicking on each one.\n\nIn the old days, you could run a browser repair.  Not possible any more for some reason.  Even an uninstall and reinstall is difficult to do.  Switching to Firefox or other browser is a great idea, but if you'd prefer not to, I hope one of these suggestions work.  Rolling back to a previous date could work, but you can lose data.\n\nGood luck!

Try closing and reopening your browser. It might be a cache problem.

...and mine shuts down when i type in an address.  so far, the links are working.  i just downloaded some updates, we'll see if it helps matters.  or, you could just download mozilla firefox as an alternate browser.

There`s a variety of reasons your firefox could be feezing. Most commonly it`s the extensions people download, but since you just installed it this shouldnt be the problem.\n\nWhen firefox freezes you should click control alt delete, click the task manager, and order by cpu use, to see which program is actually freezing. If it`s svhosts, dont blame firefox. See the (www.jimmyr.com/blog/Svhosts_100_memory_usage_slowing_down_computer89_2006.php svhosts crashing page).\n\nIf you have zone alarm or some other firewall, make sure firefox isnt blocked. That would obviously cause it to `hang` because the program freezes while it`s trying to connect to the internet but can`t.\n\nTry downloading an old version of firefox, search oldversion firefox on google. See if those work. Try another browser like avast or the new internet explorer beta 7.\n\nTry checking what`s connecting to your comp. start ->run->netstat -b.\n\nGood luck. It`s probably not firefox. It could be a number of things.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/yah/firefox_hanging_again_97_2006.php

See if your computer has spyware. Ads might popup or programs try to steal data at a random interval and cause protection crashes that internet explorer would allow.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

First I would check and make sure you computer meets the requirements for Firefox (if you bought it within the last few years it should be fine). Then I would upgrade to the newest version of Firefox (1.5). If that still fails, unistall it completey and re-install. Check your other programs and see if there are any compatibility problems.

It could be many things. You should provide more info, such as your opperating system, your version of internet explorer, the age of your hardware, the circumstances in which it locks up and so forth.
