Has been happening for about two weeks now. Firefox crashes whenever I receive a facebook message while it is opened in a tab. It still happens in safe mode. All my drivers are up-to-date and my firefox + extensions are uptodate

I've tried reinstalling flash, clearing cookies/history, and reinstalling firefox and it still happens (but when i reinstalled firefox, i did the backup/restore thing that restored everything so I have not tried a true clean install.)

Thanks.

Unable to load Farmville (Zygna game - Facebook). I just installed the latest version of Firefox and Flash (11.5) and I had previously fully uninstalled both of them. I checked that the Firefox settings were correct in Tools/Options. Disabled Plug-ins and Extensions, Hardware Acceleration, POP-up blocker, Restored defaults, started in Safe Mode and anything else that was suggested. I would be grateful for any other suggestion.

I've recently been lucky to get my hands on Windows 8 from my college (full Windows 8 Professional, not the 90 day trail.) and installed Firefox. Boy was it a mess, I know Windows 8 has yet to be released officially to the public but Firefox will crash and hang and just be all around terrible to use. I've tried Google Chrome and have had none of these problems with it, same as IE (I know IE sucks but just adding it to my trail list). I know flash is integrated into both of those browsers but could that be the problem that Firefox is having when it comes to Windows 8? Anyways my main reason for posting this is to let those who work with Firefox that there is a compatibility problem with it right now.

when i start facebook or youtube, a dialogue box appears above the page that asks for enabling the javascript for better performance. I use Noscript and it shows that fbcdn.net for facebook is blocked and due to that i am unable to open any thing on it. but the moment i allow it, my firefox crashes. Same thing is with youtube, when i intend to watch any video it crashes.

help me,I can watch online drama since May,2012 and then after one month i can only watch if i turn full screen on ,if i turn full screen off my can only hear the sound. last two week my flash player can turn full screen on . i notice that the right click to turn full screen on is unavailable ,i don't know why , then i update my flash player 11 version and my problem can't solve! then i read so other issues on web and i downgrade my flash player 10.3 but still having that problem. i don't have real player either but my drama can be watch on Google Chrome but i prefer Mozilla Firefox than Google chrome . So i will really appreciate if u can solve my problem. thanks for giving me chance to ask u

Hello!

So this last week Firefox has been causing me to have some SERIOUS problems! From time to time I cant view any kind of videos or anything, it just makes my Firefox crash and not loading or anything.

I cant even listen to my own music on my computer :(

I never had this problem before and getting this now is so annoying!

I got Firefox updated, same with Adobe flash player and all that! And as I said, I NEVER had this problem before and I've been using Firefox for alot of years now.

Firefox keeps crashing multiple times daily and is really no longer usable. I use Firefox at work and it is totally stable there. It has been stable on my home system until about a month ago. Not sure if the new version of Catalyst could be part of the problem.

I have followed all the suggested remedies and none have been effective. This includes completely restarting Firefox. This has started happening recently with high frequency from 21st August, and now it is guaranteed to happen multiple times over a two hour period to the point I just give up restarting it now except to see if it will work again. Fingers crossed the crash id's will reveal what is going on... Maybe I should totally uninstall it and reinstall it?

I get the (Not Responding) and it hangs for a few seconds. Happens when I go to a site, and occasionally it hangs when it's been open for a while. Once opening it can be caused by going to another site, opening a new tab, or switching tabs. Once opened and running I cannot reliably get it to hang, seems intermittent. The only one I can duplicate is upon opening. Sometime the Firefox Window greys out and I get the Windows wait it's thinking icon.

I am up to date and only running Web of Trust and Ad Block as Add-Ons.

Everything is running on stock settings.

I can not successfully install Adobe Flashplayer 11.4 on FF 15 Trying to go Back to 11.2 and still get crashes on installation.

I can not successfully install Adobe Flash Player 11.4 on FF 15.

With each new release of FF, I have to go through this procedure.

When I try to go back to Adobe Flash Player 11.2 I still get still get crashes on installation. I get caught in a near infinite loop of the kind of error message displayed in the attached screen shots.

Task Bar -> Close does not work. Alt+F4 does not work. I must be missing something, because the only way I can to stop the install is by killing the process, or killing the entire process tree in Task manager. Not good.

How do I leave the Beta team and get back to work?

I am becoming quite desperate, but not enough to give up on FireFox.

I was advised to turn off the Hardware Acceleration, but I have to get flash working before I can try that.

This particular functional anomaly crashes Adobe Flash Player every time.

My system details:

Firefox is not usable after I hibernate and resume Windows.

Not usable means that the tabs and toolbar buttons do not react on mouse clicks, scroll bars do not react and new URLs cannot be entered.

This happens on Windows 7 Enterprise as well as on Windows XP SP2 with Firefox 14.0.1.

It is very annoying since I usually have many windows and tabs open and often just suspend the system to resume several hours / next day. Workaround is to kill the process in the Taskmanager andrestart Firefox.

The same issue is present with Thunderbird.

I just installed Firefox 15.0.1 on WIndows XP SP2. Also installed NoScript 2.5.5 and DownloadHelper 4.9.9, current Flash plugin and Shockwave.

The browser seems to print fine to all my physical printers. But when I attempt to print to the Adobe PDF printer driver, Firefox freezes. Windows XP's spooler reports that a job is being spooled to the queue but it seems Firefox never opens up the PDF WIndows File dialog to create and save the file. I must force-close Firefox from the Task Manager, it is frozen solid.

Upon force-close, Windows reports that a print job was sent to the Adobe PDF printer (I turned on notifications).

I have attempted running Firefox in Safe Mode. I have attempted to reset printer in about:config; I have removed all printer lines in prefs.js. I have disabled both plugins (the only 2 enabled when running in standard mode), I have checked Page Setup specs.

I have no crash ID as I must force-close the program in order to get out of it, it never recovers.

It seems from here that Firefox is failing to open up the File dialog for the PDF, and therefore it simply hangs waiting for the PDF driver to unlock it and return focus.

Any help would be appreciated! I am using the same version of the PDF converter driver on another machine, also running WIndows XP SP2, running Firefox 3.6, and it gives me no problems whatsoever.

Investigating why FF was using so much memory I was advised to use "Restore Firefox" button. Did that but now I can`t use "tools" "options" `cos it closes the browser. Other menus under "tools" work OK. If I try to download any updates for plug-ins etc the FF browser closes down. Can`t browse my images folders to add to interactive sites.....closes down FF Can type a URL but nothing happens but if I enter a "bookmarked" url or a "history" url then it is OK Firefox is 16.0.1 Any help appreciated please.

Yeah, I've recently updated from Firefox version like 2.something to 10.0.2. My god, why don't I learn? Why don't I just follow what I know is true rather than listening to everystupidbody else, who are always wrong? You see, Mozilla. THIS is why I keep sometimes a DECADE-old version of software and update ONLY with the greatest of caution, and often not even then. The newer versions ALWAYS and I mean EVERY DAMN TIME work WORSE. All the bells and whistles and ‘new and improved’ (read: retarded) ‘innovations’ (read: flaws) bring the whole thing crashing down. Why the hell do developers constantly think they have to fidget with something until they break it? Better question: Why do software developers ALWAYS refuse to take responsibility for a terrible design flaw and just undo it already - instead blaming everyone else? God, I am SO TIRED of the questions: “What firewalls are you running” (Answer: NONE) and “Did you update it?” (Answer: you can’t be frickin serious at this point - you’re just screwing with me, aren’t you?). While I’m getting such brilliant troubleshooting suggestions, why don’t I just turn it off and on again? Can you come and set the time on my computer for me too? I don’t understand these confounded smoke-containing magic boxes yet. Firefox used to be like the perfect browser. I loved it when I first discovered it. I couldn't believe how neat it was. The features were so practical and useful! They MADE SENSE. I actually had trouble believing what I was experiencing, since software is so regularly programmed by, what appear to be, escaped mental patients who hate Humanity. Now it hogs resources like they're going out of style and that godawful plugin container, I believe, is attempting to set a new high score daily on how many times it can crash. Oh and I love the 'solution' on your help. "Simply reload the page to restart the plugin and show the video (or game, animation, etc.) again." HAHAHAHA. You mean AFTER the three minutes it's frozen my computer up? You mean during which, I can't even bring up the FRICKIN TASK MANAGER to FORCE the process to end??!?! I mean, I’ll admit, I am using XP here, but I’m sure not everyone having this problem is. So basically, my question is: Mozilla, you gonna fix this problem, or do I basically have to shitcan Firefox (and by extension all of your products and your reputation with me and everyone I know) and download a different browser? I mean, I like Chrome less, but I don’t hear about as many problems with it. Oh, I also love how Firefox version 3.something would CUT OFF MY INTERNET FOR SEVERAL MINUTES!! Even with other browsers. I don’t even remember how it managed that, but I was impressed, I gotta say. But, listen, Edited by a moderator due to language. See the Rules & Guidelines .

If you can't "talk" without using so much profanity, please don't post here.

When i open Mozilla for a split second i will see the normal screen then it turns green and i cannot access any features in the web browser. I cannot access anything else of the crash ID or troubleshooting info.
