Firefox Support Forum

These files mostly contains following lines:

Firefox and Thunderbird creates CGLog files in /tmp on my Mac. It contains a lot of info related to keyboard and mouse (keys, scrolls, clicks!) I am concerned!

--- flushing event log at XXXX.XXXXXXXX --- 432138.5090574 (Firefox): CGSGetNextEventRecordInternal: XXXX.XXXXXX loc (-XXXX, XXXX) conn 0xXXXXX MouseMoved win 0xXXXX (click 1)

and the most scaring:

XXXX.XXXXX (Firefox): CGSGetNextEventRecordInternal: XXXX.XXXXX loc (xxx.xx, xxx.xx) conn 0xXXX KeyDown win 0x0 flags 0xa00100 set 252 char 63233; key 125 data -2303 special 0 repeat 0 keybd 44

Why it happens? Is it dangerous? How can I turn it off?

I saw that on the latest Firefox release for Mac and on Firefox ESR 31.2.0 for Mac I saw that on Thunderbird release for Mac 31.2.0

This has been going on for longer than I should have let it. For the record, I have tried going into Safe Mode but it didn't fix the issue. The crashes that I receive are random. I can be watching a video or I can just be reading something on a forum, regardless the browser crashes. I had a Java Applet plugin that was out of date so I also tried disabling that but I still had the crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated, here are a couple of my crash reports.

Message states

"Firefox is already running but not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."

So then I click "Close Firefox".

Then I open it again and I get the same message....

I have a weird situation. I have a web-form application to enter data for third party. It was working OK for a long time. Suddenly totaling of cells stop working. I am attaching a screen shot. I tried the suggestions in support forum. No luck. If I use different browser (eg Chrome). It is working without any issue.

I did clear cookies, history etc. It did not help. Why is it happening like this?

Thanks for helping.

There are some sites that do not prompt Firefox to save my password.

Is it impossible to add an Add Password to the saved passwords screen for times when I revisit the site?

Vevo or any other official music videos are not playing in Firefox. After loading for 10 seconds, I am getting "An Error occurred" error. I don't have this problem with other videos. This problem occurred yesterday, although I didn't do any system changes or software updates during the day. In Internet Explorer 11 which using HTML5 Player by default, those videos are starting to play but only after 10 seconds load and not immediately like other videos. When forcing HTML5 Player in Firefox those videos are starting to play after 10 seconds load like in IE but HTML5 Player is very instable in Firefox. Software wise everything is up to date and I already reinstalled both Firefox and IE but the problem is still there. Even System Restore didn't help. Net research also didn't bring any solutions.

The image can be made to appear if you "View Page Info" or "Inspect Element" (using add-on) and exit.

Are there settings that I need to change to correct this behavior? It started in build 32

Currently running 32.0.3 in XP SP3

A year ago, I had a video freezing problem. disabling hardware accelorator appeared to work, but doesn't work now for same exact problem. tried other solutions that were suggested a yer ago. Nothing work. It appeared that the video problem fixed itself. This is very fustrating that this is happening again and makes me believe that firefox never solved the initial problem after a year

It has to do with having multiple tabs open and going to a specific web site. If anybody cares (nobody has yet) you can contact me for details. If not, that's OK too, I'm switching to Chrome.

So, I've been having this issue for sometime now. I went through all the help pages, read through all the different ones on Mozilla support and Adobe's official forums, and I haven't been able to stop it from crashing.

It started around a month ago, and I've just been trying to deal with it, but it has gotten to a ridiculous level of hanging. It almost never crashes, but it hangs indefinitely making me have to end it in the process area of the Windows Task Manager. It hangs when I open a new tab, when I'm mid-video, when I just leave it for too long, and randomly whenever it feels like it. And each time it looks different.

I also have some of my most recent crashes here if they are helpful:

On a Win7 computer, Firefox 34.0.5 works fine for the administrator account. For the user account however, a new tab will not open when clicking on a link in a web page. The settings under options / tabs are all checked properly. I have uninstalled Firefox, removed all the files from the profile directory for the user, then reinstalled Firefox - got the same result. I even uninstalled Flash player per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032376 - still, a new tab will not open when clicking on a link in a web page. Have tried safe mode and restoring defaults without any luck. I suspect the answer is simple (Occam's razor) - just can't seem to find it though.

Local links in Firefox do not work since 39.0 came out. I can copy and paste the link in the top of the browser and it will work, but clicking on the link will not do anything at all. The path is correct. I am using the format "file://///path/to/file.jpg" Please help.

This problem seems to be coming a regular occurrence now with plugins.

I have an outdated plugin that says "Update Now"

Adobe Reader Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape outdated 15.9.20069.28170 Update Now

When i visit the Adobe website to update Adobe Reader it offers me 2015.009.20069 and then fails to install because i already have it leaving the plugin check still telling me that i need to update now

Windows 7

thanks ...

Just like it says in the tin, this problem started to happen recently (tow months ago). I tried a fresh install, but that didn't solve the problem !! p.s sorry for my poor English, it's not my native language !

Dear supporters,

please help! my firefox crashes down again and again, after 5 to 10 minutes of use. I tried all sorts of things: de- and reinstallation of firefox, windows updates, check of the virus scan (antivir professional), system restore point etc.)

Thats the last ID of the about:crashes report: bp-7ad437e9-b4b4-4ce5-a761-62b3d2141003

KIndly give me advice what to do.

Thank you

Hi all,

I'm on a Mac Mini running 10.9.5 and Firefox 34.0.5 (which is the latest for my system, as of this writing). I'd been running Firefox without issues for a long time, but a few days ago I started it up and found that trying to reach the following sites all result in an immediate crash: 1) GMail.com (looks like it crashes once it redirects to gmail.com/intl/en/mail/help/about.html) 2) https://www.facebook.com 3) wikipedia.org 4) https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

I'm finding that each of these addresses will cause Google Chrome to revert to its "Aw Snap!" error message — but Safari will display all of them without any problem.

Here are some things I've tried to solve this: 1) zapped PRAM, reset SMC, ran Apple Hardware Test, repaired disk permissions; 2) COMPLETELY uninstalled Firefox and all associated files/preferences, then started over with a completely new profile; 3) completely uninstalled both Flash and Java, then reinstalled them (I do need Java, unfortunately); 4) ran Firefox in Safe Mode, which doesn't solve the problem; 5) did a whole bunch of things to ensure that all the fonts on my system are valid, and are where they need to be

The only thing that's worked so far is to restart my Mac in Safe Boot Mode, and that plus the fact that these sites crash Firefox and Chrome but not Safari are my only clues... I just don't know what to make of them.

Anyone have any ideas? Something all those sites have in common maybe?

BRAND NEW COMPUTER. Asus M32AD, i5m 8GB, 1T, Windows 7 factory-installed. I have current version of FF 34.05. When I come back to my desktop after the screen has gone black, and I click the mouse to get that "Resuming Windows" screen, if I have left any FF windows open, the computer is essentially dead in the water for up to several minutes - FF will do nothing: no new windows, no closing old windows, no clicking on a tab, no ability to get a cursor in a field -- and if I try ANYTHING, I get the swirly cursor and "(Not Responding") appears in the title bar. This goes on for no fewer than 2 minutes or so, and as long as 3, 4 or even 5 minutes. It takes longer for the computer to become usable coming out of Resume than it does when I first start the darn thing up. Old threads address this issue on versions of FF as far back as 21, 22, 23, but I haven't seen any that address it in the newest versions of FF. Is it hopeless? (p.s. I'm really not terribly tech savvy, so use small words LOL)

Sometime during the past year, Firefox has stopped retaining US English as my default spellchecker dictionary. I believe Gmail is somehow the culprit, though I cannot suggest how. I have my default spellchecker dictionary set to US English (en-US).

In some tests I did just now: Launch Firefox, go to edit environment in Wikipedia, spellchecker dictionary is set to US English, about:config spellchecker.dictionary setting concurs. Restart FF, go to Gmail > compose, dictionary defaults to the French one I have installed (fr-xx-classique+reforme1990)*, about:config spellchecker.dictionary setting concurs. Open second tab, go to WP edit session, dictionary is set to en-US, though about:config setting still set to French.

I tried the above troubleshooting steps in a couple different sequences and did not get consistent results. At first, once I had switched to en-US in the Gmail compose environment (by right-clicking on an underlined string), that setting seemed to take for the remainder of the browser session across multiple tabs. I restarted FF and it still seemed to be holding, even in Gmail. Then, after restarting the computer and starting a Gmail compose session, the dictionary was back to French.

On Bugzilla@Mozilla, I see only one potentially related issue when I search on "default spellchecker": https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1061650

Anyone else reporting such behavior? Anyone have any ideas? --Eric

current system: FF 34.0.5 on Windows 7 sp1

• Note: There is an open, longtime Red Hat Bugzilla bug that looks to be reporting possibly related behavior on Linux systems:
