So WP keeps crashing firefox on my computer. Almost exclusively if I hit the back button, or have more than one tab open. Any ideas why? It's the ONLY website that is doing it.

WP uses a lot of resources, my battery drains twice as quick if I have WP open on a tab.

(chrome is better :P )

I use Firefox all the time with WP in multiple tabs and never have any problems with it and I frequently hit the back button. Sounds like a problem with an add-on or your cache has become corrupted. Have you tried clearing all browsing history?

^ Same here - no problems at all. I often have 2 separate Firefox sessions running, each with 10 or more tabs.
It might also be worth selectively disabling each add-on - if one of those is causing issues this should locate it quite easily.

I'm running Firefox 18.0.1, and I'm having no trouble at all logging into and using WP.

Sounds like OTHER computer issues at play... you get crashing on any other forums or sites?

No other websites or forums have caused the crash. It's exclusively a WP problem.
