Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

Since I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox last week on my mac, which is running El Capitan Firefox has become very unstable, it crashes at least once per day and will then not allow me to force quit or restart, so I have no choice but to shut down my Mac and restart.

I have Firefox 43.0.4 running with Mac OS 10.11 and I often find that Firefox refuses to quit no matter what method I try (force quit, command + Q etc.). Ultimately this prevents me from shutting down my machine properly and I have to resort to using the power button.

None of the suggested actions have so far worked (i.e. refresh, reinstall, etc.).

Whenever Firefox updates on my Mac, Firefox won't shut down, and (as a result) I can't shut down my Mac. A 'Force Quit" doesn't do anything. My only option is to hold the power button down on my Mac for 10 seconds to 'force' a hard shutdown.

After reboot, Firefox works normally (closing Firefox works correctly).

I am running an iMac, os x 10.10.5. When I attempt to launch the app the firefox Icon "bounces" in the dock and finally stops. Nothing happens. If I try to restart mac I have to force quit firefox to complete the restart. I have uninstalled Firefox several times and deleted the default profile in the library. Prior to the new update (a few days ago), it worked perfectly.

On Mac OS 10.11.14 El Capitan.

Firefox doesn't shut down when closed.

The dock icon persists, in the force quit window the application is present.

However you cannot force quit - it does nothing.

When you try and reopen the application it states the application is open.

If you attempt to restart your computer at this point it won't let you. And now you have requested a restart you can no longer open any other applications to resolve the issue. This leaves you with one option. A forced shutdown by holding down the power key.

All in all. Pretty bad.

However some bright spark has deduced that you can do the following (provided you hadn't already tried to restart)

Open the terminal window and perform the following commands.

sudo killall launchservicesd sudo killall Dock

Hi All,

Firefox continues to crash when I close a tab, despite running updates and a refresh. I'm running 45.0.1. on El Capitan 10.11.3. This problem has occurred mainly in the last week. It also won't respond to Force Quit or Restart/Shut Down after it's crashed, and I have to switch the Mac off at the power button to get it to restart (a 'ghost' version turns up in the dock, and neither version responds to Force Quit). Here's my crash report:

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi,

I am using Firefox on my Macbook Pro.

When I quit Firefox, the windows close but the programme remains open on my dock with the dot underneath, as if it's still open.

Force quit doesn't work, and it is not showing up in activity monitor, so there is nothing to force kill there.

I then can't restart Firefox without restarting my computer.
