I updated Firefox to version 44 (I had installed 32-bit version) and all went right and worked without a problem. Closed it and ran CCleaner to clear cache and most of the cookies (I only have checked those 2 options for Firefox). After the cleaning Firefox didn't work well: pages were not loaded as if I have no connection and when I close the browser it shows Windows error 'Firefox has stopped working' and the browsers turns out to be nonoperational. Uninstalled it and deleted profiles in order to perform a clean installation of newly download 32-bit v.44 of Firefox. Which had the same outcome after using CCleaner.
I decided to try with the 64-bit and so far no issues even after using CCleaner... But I am not sure yet if I am ready to use the 64-bit version with (almost) no plug-in support.

Firefox 43/44 will open one time after install then freezes at launch. Firefox 42 does not have this issue.

First I am not using Nvidia Forceware I see that is an issue. I do have an Nivida graphics card but I just double checked I have never used Forcewar
What happens is if I install Firefox, it will launch one time and operate as normal. If I close it(and it is closed I see the exe gone from Task Manager) and I reopen it, it does not open. It just sits as a 20-30 meg exe in Task Manager.
I have tried deleting my profile manually(the profile manager won't even launch), safe mode, and deleting all of my addons. My addons are Ghostery, Thumbnail Zoom Plus, uBlock Origin, and Who Deleted Me for Facebook.
Plugins OpenH264, Flash, and VLC. All at the latest versions.
Regardless even with a fresh install this happens.
I have cleared my cache from %localappdata% and compelely deleted my profile from %appdata%
If I install Firefox 42 the problem goes away immediately.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Mozilla blocks a site as malware, Avast! blocks stopbadware.org access as certificate is invalid. Now what?

Mozilla shows and blocks homeshopmachinist.net as a reported attack page though I have been using it up until several hours ago for the past 5 years. I wanted to access the link MOZILLA gives to "unblock" it, as opposed to hitting the ignore button, and Avast! blocks access to that page, stopbadware.org as the certificate is invalid. You see the problem that has been created? What do I do to get out of this loop? Hoping for your sakes that the original blocking is legitimate and NOT a false positive. IF it turns out to be a false positive, good-bye AND I will spread the word.

I am having trouble with the search bar on Yahoo's main page as of this afternoon. Yahoo is my homepage. When I first start Firefox, usually I can put something in to search on Yahoo, and hit "enter" and it works fine. But if I go back to Yahoo's main page (regardless of whether that is the back button, clicking the home button, or typing it in myself) and type something else in and hit "enter" or click the "Search Web" button . . . nothing happens. It's like the entire search feature is disabled once I revisit the page. Sometimes I don't even get the ability search right from the start.
I have restarted my computer, cleared my browser cache, and turned off hardware acceleration, as suggested for similar problems in other forums. None of those have solved the problem. The only add-on I ever run is Adblock and I have used it constantly, up until today, with no issues. Yahoo works fine in Firefox safe mode and I'm not having any problems with it at all in Safari, so I know there is not a problem with Yahoo's site itself.
I have Firefox 44.0 and am running Mac OS Yosemite 10.10. I prefer Firefox as my browser and Yahoo as my search engine, so please don't give me "fixes" that involve changing those things. I want it to work as it always has.

Firefox was hanging a bit, so I closed it. Then I ran it again. It just immediately froze and the entire window was white, so I closed it and ran it again. No tabs. I immediately went into appdata and saved copies of the sessionstore backups. I then went to close firefox again so I could use them to restore the tabs, but it said it was updating right before I closed it and then updated to a new version and restarted.
I then closed it and tried putting one of the sessionstore backups into the profile folder as sessionstore.js. Opening firefox then just opens two separate windows with one tab each of google. I tried the other backup and it just does the same thing. This is all it will open instead of my 173 tabs that were open.
The backup files are 4.22 MB large though. Surely the tabs are still in them? Maybe they are corrupted? Is there any way to fix this and get them working?

This is a fresh install (I uninstalled and removed all folders and registry entries before reinstalling). Ive run scans for infections.
Firefox is very slow to bring up pages (30 seconds minimum) while IE and Chrome are normal.
When I close FF, the firefox.exe process doesnt' close for 3 to 5 minutes ad then I get a "Firefox crashed" message.
I'm seeing this on a ton of machines (7 and Vista).
Please help!

Hello.
Since I updated Firefox non of the shortcuts seem to work, desktop or quick-bar. Only way to star it is from the root folder of Firefox, I tried creating new shortcut from there but it doesn't work. Funny thing is that no matter how many times I try to open the Firefox via shortcuts they are shown in the Task manager, all of them, but non of them open the program, they are all around 2.000 K in size but the one that works goes from 75.000 K up.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi! Hoping someone can help out here.
Firefox has developed a problem where it will only start in Firefox Safe Mode. I've taken the following steps to try and get it working under normal circumstances again:
1) Run several Malware detectors 2) Disabled all extensions and plugins that appear in the browser 3) Created new profiles, and have done a clean install (deleting the directory) more than once 4) Disabled hardware acceleration 5) No crash reports appear 6) Have tried opening with and without profile manager 7) Tried disabling firewall/anti-virus
All have the same result!
Any other suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

I keep Firefox up to date, and have 44 installed. For the first time, Adobe's Primetime CDM will not install or load, although my add-ons page keeps telling me it will be installed shortly. The Mozilla support pages tell me how to disable it; but what can I do to make it work?
(While Firefox DRM viewing is not available to me, I use Chrome with no problem whatever; but I'd rather Firefox were my default browser.)

I have Firefox 44.0.2 but this problem has been going on even on previous versions. If I click on the star it goes through the motions of placing a bookmark. I even see this animation of a star moving to the list of bookmarks. But when I go into the bookmarks they are not listed. I have tried right clicking on the page and clicking the star and I have tried it form the tool bar. Neither works. I have also renamed the places.sqlite to places.sqlite.old and that doesn't seem to do a thing.

I have multiple computers, and I don't know which one is providing the "base" sync, or which one is being upgraded. It appears that new changes (an added extension, or bookmark) gets "erased" by something. There does not seem to be a way to say PC 'A' is the device to sync to or, to say PC 'B' adds a bookmark and I want it reflected on 'A' and 'C.'
It would help if I could access or see the sync so that I could figure what is forming the "base" of my synced data, or if I could edit that directly to push to all devices.

See the attachments.
Firefox is having difficulty with a script and it appears to be having difficulty with a script in outlook.com or at least with one of the internet sites i have open, outlook.com, gmail, or outlook contacts "people". I get this script error and slow response often but not every time i'm logged in. However, it always happens with outlook.com open. Scrolling through the debug window has some references to outlook.com. It is always this same script and when it happens, stopping the script or clicking continue does nothing but hang up firefox. I have to use task mgr to kill firefox and then restart it. Can i do anything on my end to fix this very annoying issue? I have clicked on share data with outlook.com open but i'm not getting this script error at this time.
