Firefox Community Forum

Anytime I post or comment on Facebook and use FB emojis, FireFox crashes. (they also take forever to load and show up in posts, comments, etc) I've done the clear cache, etc, as in past suggestions, but doesn't help. I have no issues with using FB emojis in Chrome.

This Morning when I tried to login as normal Firefox cam up with a crash report, so I restarted my Windows 10 think this would send the report but it came up again, and every time I tried to start, and every time I try to sign in it say can't sign in due to unknown Error, and I can't get into my emails, so I will not be able to see your replies until you have fixed the problem, Please help me ASAP.

After total crash to a black screen, when it rebooted, the display does not fill the screen. I have tried clicking the expand box on the top right corner. Everything is oversized and doesn't reduce by using Ctrl minus. Help

Ok, I have been at this for hours and not getting 2 far. My firefox has worked beautifully for years then all of a sudden it will not load pages. There is all sorts of info on the net to address this issue and I have tried many of the suggestions but I am not a computer head so it is a struggle sometimes. - I have been through the 'Trouble Mode' path = problem persists Any help greatly appreciated

Hi, for some reason firefox has begin crashing this past week, when I'm on Soundcloud and I press the play button. Today it also crashes when I try to by a bus ticket on Flixbus.dk, this has not happened before.

I looked up the troubleshooting page concerning crashes and I tried to go on the sites in troubleshoot mode, it still crashes.

I have the reports here: bp-df051f75-8783-417f-98c1-f75b90250325

bp-c87b457c-be5c-409a-87cf-ad9f30250325

I believe the first one is for Soundcloud, the second one is for Flixbus.

Thank you!

Firefox Desktop (x64) worked normally until the version 135 update was installed. Now tabs (even a single tab) crash after startup unless Firefox is run in troubleshooting mode or Windows 8 compatibility mode. OS is Windows 10 Pro (x64) 22H2 on ThinkPad E495 (AMD Ryzen 5 3500U) Things that haven't resolved the problem: - Remove extensions and themes - Refresh Firefox - Reinstall Firefox - Updating Visual C++ 2015-2022 with Redistributable (x64) version 14.42.34438 - Updating Firefox to version 135.0.1 and subsequently to version 136.0, however updater only works in Windows 8 compatibility mode - Full system scan for malware (none found) Note: Extensions NoScript and Cookie AutoDelete work normally with Firefox running in Windows 8 compatibility mode.

Hi, I just installed the latest update (I think it's 136.0.2). I guess I skipped some/several versions. Suddenly my main menu isn't workin anymore (clicking it with the mouse, that is) There is some overlay which I can't find out, how to remove. Even the Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons don't have any function. Luckily I can still access the menu via keyboard shortcuts. How can I remove that overlay bar ... or did I catch some malware ?

Thought only Ubuntu's Linux Firefox 136.0 was 'unstable' on my Gateway E-475M laptop - crashes, restores session then freezes only to log me out, then completely locking up requiring holding down power button and rebooting...

Now, even Firefox 136.0 on WIN7 is crashing, then restores session only to go to the 'blue screen of death' requiring holding down the power button and rebooting...

Evidently, the problem is not with Ubuntu or WIN7, but either: Firefox (Linux or win version); or, the Gateway E-475M laptop (2.0GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM, 8Gb swapfile, Harddrive at 61% usage, Linux/Win on separate booting partitions, LAN + usb & pci wifi's, etc.) - both OS's used to work fine, but as upgrades to Firefox have come along, they have steadily gotten more and more unstable...

Sometime, I'm only making a bookmark, and it starts this circus act... does it on differing websites, etc. Firefox is the only thing loaded - using two windows on two different monitors ...at a loss as to what to do - Firefox is supposed to be THE lightest-weight browser out there, and was for awhile... the only extension used on both systems is "NoScript" - could that be causing the disturbance in the force?!?

Why does Firefox Desktop now completely crash every time I press the Ctrl and cursor keys whilst navigating through text?!!! Very frustrating and I've had to abandon using your app completely. Please fix and redeploy your app as a matter of extreme urgency!!! thanks

Firefox crashes constantly when I load it mostly when in youtube though. I notice so I am not sure what is causing it to crash it could be ublock origin as I use that to block ads on youtube that is the only thing I can think of or maybe the return dislike button but here is my crash report below ID bp-8f27f4a1-7ed0-492e-823d-e57af0250304

Hello, I cannot access microsoft.com, outlook.com, or hotmail.com without receiving the "Gah. Your tab just crashed" window. I have unistalled firefox and re-installed the most current verison (not importing previous data) with no luck. I have no issues with Safari or Google Chrome accessing these websites. I prefer FireFox but need to access my Microsoft Account & Apps. My co-worker uses the same version of firefox as well as the same OS and has no issues.

Appreciate your help!

While watching a video in full screen mode, the screen periodically darkens for 2-3 seconds, after which the video continues, during the darkening the video stops and there is no sound

Started using Netscape and been with Firefox ever since it started. For the last few months, I find that my Draytek 2866Lac router randomly crashes and resets itself when I am using Firefox. I cannot pin it down to opening any particular website but it seems to be related to opening a new tab / link. I have FF set to open new tab automatically and no extensions (other than British English) are in use. Using FF, I can seldom go more than 5 -6 hours between resets. Not using FF, I have now managed 2 days constant uptime on the router - which is a fantastic change! Is there something peculiar with my system and any ideas how I can get stability again please?

Hi there, I updated Linux Mint today and now have a crash effecting access to Netflix. First time ever to occur. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Cheers, Ivan

Reading the crash dumps when our systems crash, keeps showing this same result. Firefox's "web content" is crashing our systems.
