Hey guys. A very unexciting thread but I was just keen to know if anyone else has problems with www.Carsales.com.au constantly crashing while using Firefox. Cheers.

If you clear your cookies in Firefox, before you open Carsales it should work ok for a while, then it will crash again.

Is it the problem where you to go open a tab before its finished loading and it just crashes Firefox completely without giving an error? I've been getting that A LOT and it is annoying the crap out of me.

What gives me the absolute poopers is that you click restart to update firefox, it then closes off itself then chucks me an error saying the update could not be installed and goes into some infinite loop of trying to update itself and failing, happened on BOTH my PCs and i've had to uninstall and re-install it.

I'm amazed the site does not have best viewed in IE x.
Site works for a majority of users, and it is just plug an play for the delaers etc to get their informatrion up. Designed to interface with the Reynolds system. meh, you know about it, so you just browse it in ie. |

Note to all..it does not happen everytime.
It happens sometimes to me, but sometimes, it doesn't. If doesn't really matter anyway, because if you re-open, it should give you the option of re-loading where you were at.

Same problem here. Although the problem is with Carsales writing crappy code which suits IE. Conspiracy I tell ya.

Yep, carsales.com.au is java-heavy. A few months ago it used to crash FireFox all the time but it seems fine now, after a few java updates.
I'm using java version 6 update 10. Maybe check that java is set to automatically update itself. Hope this helps. |

yeah it still does it for me even with the latest version of firefox installed.
Opera works very well though, many people haven't tried Opera i'm sure but it's a great browser.

Make sure you have Java updated as well, Java causes so many issues..
