Every time I make Firefox full-screen, it immediately crashes and shuts down. I have restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but it still doesn't work.

Every time I make Firefox full-screen, it immediately crashes and shuts down. I have restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but it still doesn't work. And if it's the full-screen feature of video websites within Firefox, that's fine. However, if the browser itself goes into full-screen mode, it will crash.

We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A list of Submitted (and Unsubmitted, if any) Crash Reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent Submitted Report IDs that start with bp- and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.

Note: If a recent Report ID does not start with bp- click on it to submit the report.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

However, I believe I am unable to obtain the crash report because as soon as I click on full screen, the program crashes abruptly. After that, no matter how I try to start it again, I am unable to successfully open Firefox. The only solution is to reinstall, because after the reinstallation, the default setting is a small window instead of full screen. But will the crash records from the reinstallation be retained?

If you do not open Firefox full screen, but drag the window edges to increase its size a bit more, you may still be able to find the crash ID.
