Mozilla Firefox 3 crashes - Uninstall buggy addons and themes

October 11, 2008 · 0 comments

After installation of Firefox theme addon which resembles Mac OS skin the Mozilla browser crashed whenever I restarted it.Firefox used to crash due to that incompatible addon,so I made a fresh installation of firefox 3.0.3 as I was pondering over the compatibility issue of the theme addon with Firefox.But it didn’t work for me and as usual firefox was crashed whenever I tried to reopen it.

However I found a simple solution to uninstall those buggy addons and themes by opening your firefox in safe mode and uninstalling the buggy addons-extension.To open your firefox browser in safe mode,just go to run from windows start menu and input this firefox -safe-mode to get the firefox safe mode running.

You will get a small window box asking about disabling addons and other features in the safe mode.Continue with the existing options.After Firefox is running,you will not be able to use installed addons in the safe mode.But as we are using the safe mode to uninstall those addons/extensions,head over to tools –> Add-ons and then find out the buggy extension or themes.Click on that theme/addon and uninstall it!

Now you have uninstalled the addon which was causing firefox crashes! Open Firefox in normal mode and it should work fine :D
