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.

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.

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!

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 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.

For the last few years, when opening multiple tabs (esp. facebook. For example 2 dozen of facebook tabs, usually much less if other websites are already loaded on other tabs), black rectangles appear on the page, and after opening a few more tabs, Firefox becomes unresponsive and crashes. Since I already know what's coming, usually I don't let it come to this, but restart Firefox when black appears on the page. (to be more precise about this black thing: the whole page would be black and Firefox button and tabs would also not be displayed correctly (see attachment), and then when elements are graphically "rerendered", like on mouseover event, or when scrolling, they sometimes would be shown normally again.) Still, overall I've submitted so far over a thousand crash reports.
I tried reinstalling Firefox, "Refresh Firefox", and this behaviour still happens on safe mode. Since many times RAM usage would be maxed, I upgraded my RAM to see if the problem would be solved. While performance improved, the problem persisted and I found out there's no need for RAM usage to be maxed out for these crashes to happen. I believe unchecking the hardware acceleration setting didn't help either. I vaguely remember reading about an open bug about black on pages. One way or the other, any help or ideas how to solve this problem or what would be causing it would be greatly appreciated.

Using Firefox 44.0.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 everything had been working before an update.
Now trying to scroll through any web with the mousewheel seems to trigger the same action as the back or forward buttons would be used for.
( I have seen it happen on reddit.com and http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/286 )
I have tried disabling gestures as was described here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/915174
I tried setting all the mousewheel actions to 0 as described here.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943700
This page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1111123 suggests setting middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false, but for me it was already false.
I am triggering the back/forward jumps accidentally so often that Firefox is almost unusable.

I've experienced several problems recently, following a Kaspersky Anti-virus update to version 16.0.0.614(e) . Apparently after the my dial-up internet connection drops, Firefox freezes, and freezes everything else. Before the connection drops everything runs fine for several hours.
If I get control back - i.e. if the browser finally closes - it wants to send a report to Microsoft - even though I wasn't running I.E. I guess its a Windows thing.
I haven't been prompted by FF to send a crash report in all this time, but crash it has. Per a FF help, I checked about:crashes and nothing is listed since January, before all this bizarre stuff started happening.
I sent the report to Microsoft since they asked. This is what was in it.
C:\DOCUME~1\Amy\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2151.dir00\firefox.exe.mdmp C:\DOCUME~1\Amy\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2151.dir00\appcompat.txt
szAppName: firefox.exe szAppVer: 44025884 szModName: hungapp szModVer: 0.0.0.0 offset:00000000
If I don't get control back from the hanging FF, and choose to force a restart, I notice error messages before shut down.
The latest were -.net-broadcast
followed by A.case no.3 ....
I have no idea what these mean.
I also had an event 2 days ago with a hot link in an email booting IE while FF was running. That had never happened before.
target of hotlink: https://weather.com/weather/today/l/Bloomfield+NJ+07003
where it ended up: window titled: Address not valid - Windows Internet Explorer
and the url: res://ieframe.dll/syntax.htm#
I hope someone can shed some light on these experiences.
Thanks
