My Firefox browser randomly freezes and shuts down 2-3 times per day. It especially happens when I have one or more tabs open. When I go into the task manager I have a application called Dumpprep.exe running. I think it is a virus. Does anyone know how to get rid of it.

I am using the FireFox 2.0.0.15 on Windows XP.
1) There is a major issue with the Browser consuming CPU – so much that the whole m/c just hangs. With no option but to ReBoot.
2) While playing Streaming videos the memory usage of FF increases drastically.

These days I have started using IE more and more. I hope we dont go back to those IE days.

In my case, http://cm.my.yahoo.com/ is taking max CPU resource when FireFox is used. IE7 is okay.

Nina, I suggest you make a clean install of Firefox using a previous version, 2.0.0.9 would be advisable. Either that or upgrade to one of the Firefox 3 Betas:

Hi, I am running 2.0.0.11 and am experiencing between 5-6 ‘unexpected shut downs’ of firefox per day! I have been in the office for an hour now and already I have had two. It driving me mad.

There have been CPU problems with Firefox for some time, though it seems to have gotten worse with the last release. Finally, someone has filed a bug on this, here:

[...] Coupled to massive memory use am not enjoying FF as much as I used to and am even to be occasionally found slipping into IE7 use (gasp). [...]

I am running 2.0.0.11 and have just had it lock up with max cpu. I am not running any add-ons apart from the default talk-back thingy, tho I have noticed the cpu getting quite busy on Flash sites…

Ah, sorry about that. I didn’t catch that update. Anyways, v2.0.0.12pre is in the nightly build section, I tested the client and again the problem is still arising. Hopefully I’m just getting ahead of myself, the js3250.dll is still at v4.0.0.0, maybe the fault lies within the lower layers of Firefox.
