Why does Firefox continue to crash?
Can someone please suggest why Firefox continues to crash when attempting to download a file. It happens every time, without fail.
- I have deleted the downloads.sqlite file (more than once) to no effect.
- I have disabled AVG firewall etc - to no effect.
- Firefox originally crashed on the latest version, so I downgraded to v5.0.1 - to no effect. I have checked using AVG and an online virus/spyware checker and can find no infection.
- I have submitted 17 crash reports since 29 September, but when I right click on any of them, and try to open in a new tab, I receive the following messge: “We couldn't find the OOID you're after. If you recently submitted this crash, it may still be in the queue.”
My OS is Vista Business 32 bit. Thank you for any help & advice.

P.S. all of the available crash reports I checked show: Signature: rapporttanzan5.dll@0x614c
More info, from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes#Trusteer_Rapport
Trusteer Rapport (an application promoted by some banks for malware protection) may cause Firefox to crash. If you use this software, try disabling it. If that stops the crashes, try updating the software to the latest verion, uninstall the program if you don't need it, or contact Trusteer Support.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! cor-el. This has taken up so much of my time during the last few weeks and has been driving me wild. I have been filled with frustration, swearing at the (poor) dog etc etc. I have now uninstalled Rapport and the problem has gone. I am now much calmer and once again placid! The fact that I spend a minimum of 12 hours a day at my computer will tell you what a relief this is to me. Thank you again , so very much.
My sincere thanks to you also Alice, for your help which is greatly appreciated.
Hey, thanks for posting back. I'll mark cor-el's reply as the solution,
