Thank you very much!!! Yes, it was my cache directory, which was
full of files and directories with corrupt sizes and names. This is what
I tried after reading your reply:
- To disable both (disk and memory) caches in Preferences-Debug. Result:
Mozilla still crashed.
- To delete the disk cache in Preferneces-Advanced. Result: Mozilla
instantly crashed (which is normal cuase the corrut data).
- To create a new, empty, Cache directory. Result: Mozilla worked again.
- To check the disk with Scandisk. That deleted all the corrupt files
and dirs. Result: Mozilla worked again.
