    Hello

    I have a friend who is having trouble with Adobe Flash crashing when using Firefox yet her husband who is signed on as another user on the same machine does not.

    I am the only user of my PC so feel a bit limited in any help I can give her where two users are concerned.

    Her Adobe is up to date and I feel she should uninstall and do a fresh install or could it possibly be a Firefox problem ?
    How would this affect another user ? Her husband is reluctant to do anything since he doesn't have a problem

    If she removes an addon from Firefox is it removed from hubby's as well??
    Do different users run independently..as I said only moi on my machine so not savvy where users are concerned.

    I did remove the Babylon toolbar...so much clutter...and I notice another program in her files Conduit Engine which on a Google search seems to be a piece of no good so planning to remove that but how does this affect her husband as user. Also ran CC cleaner and it removed over 1Gb of temp files etc., but the problem still persists for her.

    Thanks for any help and Season Greetings:)

    Have her run FF with no addons. Fire up FF (her profile), click Help and select Restart with addons disabled. See if it behaves now.

    If so, have her enable one addon at a time, restart FF and surf until she discovers which one causes the problem.

    Thanks to both for info.

    I will go the Firefox without addons route first then the other if that is not successful in clearing up the problem.

    Will post back on results
