At work I have a pretty good computer, but the friggin' Firefox and Opera crash many times in one hour of browsing. Now I've read that the most likely cause is the Adobe Flash Player, who's versions do not yet support native 64 bit. It's said on their website that native 64 bit version of Flash player is under development, and I think Linux users have or had the option to download a beta of the 64 bit Flash. The problem of those crashies was so critical, that the Firefox added an additional exe…

(Quote from Huor) Yeah, but theoretically - Firefox and Flash Player are both native 32 bit apps, and should run on 64 bit system (Win7) and 64 bit processor (dual core Athlon something +6000) with no problems. But, obviously they're refusing to. You know, I tried pretty much everything EXCEPT running it in compatibility mode... Idjit me.

Hm, it seems Adobe updated Flash Player today... Today, only 2 crashes on Firefox and 1 on Opera. And that's a good score.

I heard there were work-arounds for that. I don't think highly of Iphone, could be that future versions of smartphones with Android and that new thing Nokia is doing could be better.

Would be better if you didn't say nothing at all. Anyway, a mate has a similar system now, so I guess we'll see how stabile it is. Hopefully, they won't stall the Flash64 edition for long...

In light of all this, there's a beta release edition of Flash Player, codenamed "Square", available for download here at Adobe Labs. Hopefully this will improve a few things...

Could be. Some say there's a possibility that the Catalyst drivers for ATI's Radeon graphic cards can cause hiccups, even leading to Blue Screen Of Death. Others claim that the instability is caused by AVG's scanning engine and/or ZoneAlarm firewall, both of which I'm using. I'll have to do some more extensive testing to find out what's the deal. But not only Firefox - Opera is crashing too. Now, my friend uses another antivirus, but also uses Catalyst drivers, and he also has problems with bro…

Dunno, it could be that the hardware on that work computer of mine is messed up, but the friend's computer is brand new and browsers cause problems...

Thanks, will try it.
