I can use Firefox withou problems. But after I close it, it takes 5 to 15 seconds, then the Windows message "Firefox has a problem and must be closed" appears. I cannot start Firefox anymore, I have to reboot. Microsoft Explorer still works. Open office also seems to have a problem.

Here the detailed description (I use a German Windows): Problemsignatur:

What I tried so far (without success): Run firefox without any add-on Remove firefox using Windows deinstaller and re-install from the Mozilla page Remove the Anti-Virus software Use MozBackup and load a one year old backup (far older than the problem)

I am using Firefox 51.0.1 (32-Bit) and Windows 7, all important updates installed, last KB 890830

Thank you very much for any helpful comment in advance

Thanks, Fred

Most of the crashes are prior September 2016, maybe beacuse I restored a MozBackup from that time. But I reproduced the error, did a reboot and have now a very recent crash report.

As I see that flash is mentioned very often, I did deactivate flas-control and noscript, but it is crashing again

The crash report mentions something about plugin Shockwave Flash Version: 21.0.0.197 Filename: NPSWF32_21_0_0_197.dll, but the plugin check and Adobe tells me that I use the actual 24.0 r0 v. 24.0.0.194.

Were you updating Firefox? The system details show a different version for the above reports, and the computer that created this post.

The reports are showing old versions of the Adobe flash player. Old versions need to be updated. Please follow these instructions;


Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 24.0.0.194
