I've really tried everything I can think of. I've decided not to

I would like to know why FF suddenly started crashing with
Javascript but I may never know.

Richard, many people have offered concrete suggestions. They
(including me) have asked you questions that you haven't answered.

You really need to run Firefox in Safe Mode for an *extended period
of time*. In case you need help, see this page:

Come back in 24 hours and let us know if it still crashes or not. The
only way to solve your problem is to use the scientific method. We
need data.

In the event you just want to give up on Firefox, there are other
browsers (including IE, of course) available. Another very good one
is Opera:

http://www.opera.com/

If you get the same crashes in Opera, you have some sort of system
problem or one of your other programs is causing a conflict. If not,
uninstall Firefox and be done with it!

P.S., Do you empty your browser cache? If not, DO SO!

Update - I started running FF with no plugins and even no Javascript,
but it still crashed.

### The reason I am reposting is when you use the phrase "running FF
with no plugins," it doesn't tell us anything. For all we know you
merely disabled your plugins but *didn't* run FF in its Safe Mode, which
is what we are asking you to do as it is far more complete. ###

browsers (including IE, of course) available. Another very good one is

*** You need to answer this last question, too!!! If you continue to
avoid providing answers, I will unfortunately need to stop monitoring
this and other related threads of yours. I'm really trying to help, but
you need to meet me halfway on this! ***
