Guys, I have two problems regarding firefox and opera:

1- Firefox crashes regularly when browsing youtube ( note : browsing and not watching youtube vids ) like for example, when trying to scroll down a youtube page to read comments, firefox crashes randomly.

2- Opera hangs when visiting any website or even while just opening it and doing nothing. The hangs last for 30-45 seconds and occurs regularly ( note: I tried to reinstall opera but to no avail ).

Any help would be appreciated and helpful replays will be rewarded with a rep point or many so roll up your sleeves and try to help me.

Thanks in advance.

Disable plugins, JavaScript and the automatic memory cache in an attempt to locate the problem.

Early 11.xx versions used to crash frustratingly often, but with 11.60, my setup goes on and on and on.

Try 11.60, that's what I'm using.

By the way, maybe it's time to update your sig?

I'll give it a try.

haha, it's fine. 2011 was a fucking disaster and i wasn't seeing that till the very end of it so I like the 2011 and the question mark after; it reminds me of the past :)

Till now I've only encountered flash related problems with firefox while visiting youtube.
There are so many youtube related bugs on bugzilla it's practically impossible to track the issue you might have.Does it also crash on other sites ? Do you have the latest version of firefox,updated plugins and addons ?

yes, I have the latest version of firefox,updated plugins and addons and this problem happens mainly with youtube and maybe facebook.I think the problem is from flash, Do you have any advices?

At the moment I'm using the latest release candidate for flash 11.2 and I'm not having any problems.
Download Adobe Flash Player 11.2 Release Candidate for Desktops - Adobe Labs
Seems pretty stable,no memory leaks why not try replacing your current flash version maybe it solves the problem.
Also I was thinking about the html5 player youtube is currently testing on some videos.Next time it crashes be sure to check if it's the flash player or the html5 one.

I can understand precisely how you feel now, even I have this problem with Firefox almost all version even Nightly, so what I figured now is for all Google, Facebook and all those high in Animated/HQ/High Scripted products, use Chrome only to get maximum satisfaction and sometimes even an Opera shall work out smoothly but never will a firefox with addon' active.
If you want a firefox to work properly with Videos try disabling all the addons(Restart with Add-ons Disabled...) and then it does a pretty good job try it ET

i would say give waterfox a try if you have a 64 bit windows but before you do that get the latest Visual C++ Redistributable..

Crashing while web surfing can also be a memory problem, try running memtest86+.
