Mozilla Firefox: Prevent crashes

• Update: If you keep Windows and Firefox up to date, you are relatively well protected against crashes. To do this, carry out a browser update and a plugin update regularly and install the Windows updates.
• Viruses: Adware such as unwanted toolbars or plugins slow down your browser and can lead to crashes. You can identify and delete them with the free AdwCleaner. For security reasons, you should also check your computer with the free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware virus scanner.
• Safe mode: If a plugin or add-on causes the crash, you can easily find out. Simply start Firefox in safe mode and deactivate all installed extensions one after the other.
• Reset Firefox: If the crashes occur again and again, you usually only have to reset Firefox. Instructions on how to do this can be found in this practical tip.
