Does Firefox crash often for you? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Since I've been using Firefox as my default browser, I noticed it tends to crash more than I like...often it is because of a "runtime.exe" error--that is what my computer tells me.

that "runtime.exe" file indicates a Trojan that could definitely cause a lot of crashes and problems.

...although it wouldn't hurt to download the latest version and do a clean install of Firefox.

I used to use Firefox but after an update to a newer version I had major problems with it. So I searched on the internet for other browsers and found one called Flock. I have been using Flock as my default browser for months now without any problems.

I've never had any problems with Firefox.

Apparently I got rid of that trojan......so far, so good.

I'll look into Flock, Marv......never hurts to have a back up and IE will never be my default browser ever again.
