Back button in Gmail causes Google Chrome to crash

[Darthfett]

Hello, I usually use Chrome for my normal browsing, and I found a problem that happens all the time in Chrome.

Whenever I open up a message in Gmail, use the back button, and try to open up a different message, Google Chrome crashes to the "Aw, Snap!" page. It is quite often, but I can only reproduce the problem sometimes. It seems to still have this issue even if I disable my extensions (Adblock, RSS Subscription Extension (by Google), Vimium).

Firefox does not seem to have any problems working with Google Chrome, but I'd rather not switch browsers.

Anyone else have this issue, know what might be causing it, or have troubleshooting ideas?

Thanks!

Probably a dumb question, but have you tried reinstalling and/or disabling any plug-ins you might use? Im also using Chrome and have no problems with G-mail and the back button :/

1. Enable the Chrome Sync. Look at this Google web page on how to do so if you already haven't enabled Google Chrome sync. Google Chrome Sync
2. After that uninstall Google Chrome and clear out settings files in the Google Chrome installation folder.
3. Restart your PC so the changes come in to affect.
4. Install Google Chrome again.
5. After it's installed, go to the options tab and set up the sync and sign in with your current email address that you used for step 1.

Hopefully that'll work. I get problems with Chrome sometimes so maybe a reinstall might help as it will do majority of the time.

Already had Chrome Sync enabled, thanks for the tips anyways.

I just reinstalled, I will post if I have any further problems.
