Firefox crashes
Hello!
I am a long time Firefox user. I love the browser's interface and it's speed however lately I have reason to believe it has been causing recent kernel panics on my mac. Ill be browsing the internet then all of the sudden my computer just randomly restarts. The reason why I think this might be Firefox is because I've been using safari only for the bast month and I've had zero kernel panics thus far. Today I decided to use Firefox again and I had another kernel panic. It's fully updated so I don't know what's wrong.
Thanks,
Raja
