After using Firefox on my laptops for years proble free a few days ago it started crashing every single time I tried to open it,The web page opens for about one second then crashes and I get the crash report dialogue box this happens in safe mode as well. I do not have time to do any editing to my browser page as it crashes within a second. I have uninsalled and reinstalled Firefox 3.68 and have just downloaded the beta 4 to see if that might work but same problem.IE works fine and from there have tried to load dozens of websites on firefox as firefox is my default browser. As I have said the site loads no problem but instantly crashes. Very grateful for any help

My Firefox has been crashing randomly and frequently for over a month now. I have tried running Firefox with all my plugins disabled but it still happens. I have tried using older Firefox versions but to no avail. My Windows has all the updates installed and I have done full system scans for viruses and spyware. When using Chrome I have no issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

I just updated Firefox and it now bounces in the dock and then stops bouncing and the little dot below disappears. I've tried restarting the machine and downloading Firefox again. There's no error message given. Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks,

Ben

When I try to open my web browser or a new webpage then it writes out the next in a pop-up window: Ошибка в функции YtFlv2Mp3.DocOnLoad. TypeError: oDoc.location.href.startsWith is not a function. I hope that the problem can be solved.

Fire fox is being shut down frequently after 15-20 seconds of opening i am getting error message "AppName: firefox.exe AppVer: 5.0.1.4205 ModName: msvcr90.dll ModVer: 9.0.30729.4148 Offset: 00059231"

I have just updated my Java to 1.7 on Mac OS X Lion, which is 1.6.0_29.

Using JRE version 1.6.0_29-b11-402-11M3527 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM

I am running FireFox 8.0 and after that I cannot reload a page with an applet on it without Firefox crashing?

I have tried to reinstall FireFox 8 and even the Aurora version with the same result. The new Java update works fine in Chrome, for instance.

When downloading huge files like a 4GB DVD image of linux, firefox starts to build up memory usage. After downloading 3GB it takes around 4GB of memory and then crashes since it can't possibly grow any larger. WHY is it doing this? In earlier versions of firefox it created a .part file and stored all data in there. But right now it stores the WHOLE download in memory and then saves it directly to the file. No .part files on the drive.

Have already tried the various solutions suggested in support pages for this problem. Have also re-installed from full installation file instead of automatic update. Nothing helps.

Cannot open new tab after updating adobe flash player to 11.3.300.265 in Firefox 14.01 Reinstall Adobe Flash Player to earlier version 11.2.202.235 and everything work fine with Firefox 14.01

I am using Linux Mint 10 and Firefox 4b11pre, although this has been happening since at least b9pre. I am running Fx from my home folder as downloaded from Mozilla, not from a PPA. This happens on the "stable" beta releases as well as the "pre" releases. I used to be able to "vacuum" the databases with the program Bleachbit and the problem would go away...for a while. Now that is no longer affective.

Also, and I think this is important, ALL add-ons are functioning correctly. Everything works except I cannot open the add-on manger.

The new (huge, cumbersome, and unresponsive) add-on manager simply stops working. It won't load or partially loads and the browser darkens, which signifies an unresponsive program in Linux. I then have to force quit Firefox.

If I have crash reporting enabled I am never asked to submit a report.

This occurs completely randomly. It is not associated with any particular add-on as far as I can tell. I have spent many hours trying to diagnose this problem to no avail.

Things I've already done:

1. Build a completely fresh profile. I have done this several times, combining many different settings, and the problem still happens. It happens with the default settings, when I only change settings from the Preferences dialog, and when I change settings through about:config. I have also used the safe-mode switch to reset all settings, but it still happens. Similarly, I have re-downloaded Firefox itself, "pre" and "stable" for fear of corruption by updates, which has happened before, but this does not solve anything either.

2. Safe mode. If I choose to disable all add-ons from the safe mode dialog and restart Firefox the add-on manager works. At any given time I have about 30 add-ons enabled, mostly the standard ones (Adblock, No Script, etc.), and many that I'm just playing around with.

Now, when I start to enable add-ons, the add-on manager works. I can enable, say, 5 at a time, completely randomly, and it will continue to work until I reach about 25, then it dies. I have removed all add-ons except the ones approved by Mozilla on there add-ons website. Then with all approved add-ons (and a still not working manager) I have disabled all add-ons, restarted, and enabled them one by one. Enable, restart. Enable, restart. Then, randomly, it just doesn't work anymore and freezes. I have done this many times and in totally random orders. It does not happen on any specific add-on, and always happens some where between 21 and 27 enabled. You can imagine how frustrating this is, since the add-on manager offers no way to mass-enable or count add-ons.

Finally, I receive no red flags in the error console and have exhausted my Firefox debugging knowledge. I receive no errors when running from the terminal either. As I said, all add-ons are functioning correctly. I have done other combinations of things, if it's a logical off-shoot of anything I mentioned above then I've likely done it. I've searched everywhere, Bugzilla, Google, individual add-on bugs, etc. to no avail.

Sorry this was so long, but if I can't manage my add-ons there's simply no reason to continue using Firefox, but, since it's normally the best browser around, I don't want to face that option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I start FF4 on Fedora 8, I am getting this error: ./firefox ./firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /tmp/firefox/libxul.so)

Indeed, libstdc++ supplied with Fedora 8 is old:

strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX GLIBCXX_3.4 GLIBCXX_3.4.1 GLIBCXX_3.4.2 GLIBCXX_3.4.3 GLIBCXX_3.4.4 GLIBCXX_3.4.5 GLIBCXX_3.4.6 GLIBCXX_3.4.7 GLIBCXX_3.4.8 GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW

If I try to install libstdc++ from other distribution, I am getting other dependency problems (libc and others)

How do I run FF4 on Fedora 8?

Ever since upgrading to Firefox 8.0.x, Firefox has been freezing on me.

From what I can tell, this happens when I typing in textboxes (composing e-mails, other...); in fact, Firefox froze for about 10 seconds when registering my account on these forums!

I am in safe mode with all extensions/plugins turned off and I am still experiencing this problem.

When I open the Activity Monitor app, the "% CPU" column for Firefox will spike to 100 during the freezes.

What the heck is going on here?

I am not sure how much more freezing I can take... I am tempted to switch to Chrome or Safari. :(

Firefox keeps crashing within 2 minutes of opening, every time. Internet Explorer does not. I get the same signature each crash report. the crash reason was Exception_access_violation.

I have run a whole list of virus scans and anti-spyware and it all comes up clean.

I recently (about a month ago) downloaded the newest version of Firefox and ever since, the browser freezes virtually EVERY time I open a new Mozilla browser window. I did not ever have this problem in the past.

Firefox will not open. I get an instant crash report. Even in Safe mode. I have completely uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. I have run the check to be sure all add ons are up to date. I have done the check for the backdoor virus. I am on Windows Vista 64 bit. It has worked on this laptop for over year, right up to the minute it didn't. I had not installed anything new.

Please help! I hate explorer and want my Mozilla back!
