Chosen solution

I found the solution here:

http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/299253-firefox-doesnt-work-at-all-in-xendesktop/

Had to change executable file name to firefox1.exe

Very strange and I would love to know why that works if you have any idea.

Sorry to hear about the crashes.

If you are getting the Mozilla Crash Reporter form, you can provide a more readable crash report by pasting the report IDs. Please check the support article "Firefox crashes - asking for support" for steps to get those crash report IDs from the about:crashes page or from disk, and then post some of the recent ones here.

Also and/or meanwhile, could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features of Firefox that might make it more prone to crashing on some systems.

If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.

If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

and OK the restart.

Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).

Any less crashy?

more options

I don't know the significance, but near the start of your data it has:

AppInitDLLs: MFAPHOOK.dll

That's part of Citrix, so this could be a compatibility issue between Firefox and Citrix.

Unfortunately it won't allow me to go into safe mode without crashing.

Here is one crash report Id: Crash ID: bp-1b9410bc-e72a-40e4-a9fc-15cc12160804

Did that help?

Hi can you try Disabling your extensions goto about:addons and click disable at the extensions

Do you mean disable them from inside the Firefox browser? If so, that is not possible because I cannot get it to stop crashing at startup.

This may be a new conflict with Websense Endpoint software. The Modules list in your online report shows the "QIPCAP.dll" which is definitely associated with Websense, but I can't tell whether that is the cause of the insta-crash.

A workaround Firefox users sometimes employ is to create a fake qipcap.dll file that will block Firefox from using the incompatible qipcap.dll file. Please see this post for more information on this option, which I have not tried myself: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1111324#answer-847872

Alternately, you could switch from the standard release (Firefox 48) to the Extended Support Release of Firefox 45 (ESR). Enterprise security vendors are more likely to be testing with ESR than the standard release.

Chosen Solution

I found the solution here:

http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/299253-firefox-doesnt-work-at-all-in-xendesktop/

Had to change executable file name to firefox1.exe

Very strange and I would love to know why that works if you have any idea.

Why it works to rename firefox.exe to another name? Presumably because something that "hooks" into Firefox is looking specifically for the firefox.exe process name. You're hiding Firefox from whatever that is.

Ok. Interesting...

I am just glad it is working now and thank you for your help.
