Hello there :D
Whenever I try to access the settings page in FF (to seach for a lost password for example), it freezes and crashes ... No other solution than to force restart ! Quite annoying ...
Any advices ?
Thanx :)

Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/
in order to check the integrity of your RAM?
You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.
Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ?
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings
If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file. How to determine the appropriate page file size for 64-bit versions of Windows {web link}
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.
