Firefox Support Forum

Latest Firefox update allows it to initialize OK, but then in short time abruptly crashes it ) no matter what the usage mode, but immediately always when using multiple windows). Obviously the latest update has not been adequately tested! When are you going to update the update?

Firefox crashes when I click on the icon. I tried to delete Firefox and then reload it but the add remove program in Widows XP wouldn't remove it. I can only get on the internet with Internet Explorer.

A few days ago (while playing on my bamboo tablet) I noticed that my firefox refused to work and continued to crash despite my (limited) efforts (Ran anti-virus and CCleaner thinking it was a virus problem.). Using a friends computer I found that my tablet might be the problem and an update might fix the issue. So I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and now it's notifing me "File corrupt." I don't understand what this means or how to fix this.

Any asstance would be very apperciated. Sorry for my terrible spelling (my firefox had spell check, stupid internet explorer doesn't. I've lost all my bookmarks and lovely firefox applications and desperately want that back!)

Today the bottom half of my Firefox browser window just drew up to the halfway point on my screen, and will not maximise again. I tried taking Windows back to a point 2 days ago, but the problem remains.

Clicking on Firefox icon takes me directly to the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Restarting and exiting have no effect. The "report" has been submitted numerous times with no response - have no crash ID assigned

Have updated to 3.6.6. on OSX 10.6.4. Installed as per instructions, but FF does not start - from the application folder or the dock (to where I dragged the FF icon). From looking at the support forum there seems to a number of people experiencing the same problem, but no fixes appear to be posted!

Firefox cannot found the page that i requested such as www.facebook.com or www.yahoo.com. I try to uninstall and install it again but the result was still the same.

I can not get firefox up

Firefox randomly disconnects from the internet. The work off line option is somehow checked and when un- checked Firefox will still not connect. A re-boot of the computer most often solves the problem. This is new and I have not made any changes recently. Running Fox 3.6.3

[Apologies, I clicked the wrong URL and shut the previous thread by mistake.]

I have FF 3.6.6 randomly crashing when I am not even doing anything. I have two websites open normally, neither of them uses Flash or any adobe plug-ins. One auto-refreshes content every few minutes, but it is text and basic JPG/GIF graphics (run by JavaScript I presume). The other site does nothing if I take no actions. But several times a day, FF just shuts down silently.

I am running on linux Mint 9 KDE Edition.

about:crashes says the URL is invalid. ~/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports/ doesn't exist; ~/.mozilla/firefox/ contains a single file called .profiles.ini - nor could I find a folder by that name in any of the directories related to FireFox.

Suddenly lots of firefox crashes. Go to home page (google) once search and new sites to explore come up, anyone of those can cause crash. Most often firefox has to start new session.

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.

Locked due to duplicate. Duplicate solved here

Crash ID(s)

n/a

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.

Firefox now crashes each time I try to load a new tab and a site in that tab. This has only happened since the last auto update. I have tried removing the firefox folder in my library, so a clean version of firefox loads, but if i try to go to the address from before, it crashes. Not all sites cause a crash, but many of my bookmarked sites do.

The only solution is uninstall firefox and reinstall. I have to do this every day as it only works until firefox hangs or closes.I'm running Vista. Never had this problem until I updated to 3.6.8 and then I kept getting java errors, so I downloaded the newest java. Now if firefox starts at all, the add ons don't work. If I uninstall and reinstall, they work temporarily until I have to close firefox.
