I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I've read and tried MANY supposed fixes for this problem, but, so far none have worked. Constantly says FF is already running, but not responding. I have to kill it in Task Mgr. everytime.

After FF opens, the little circle on the tab rotates and says "Connecting". That's all I can get out of it.

Uninstalled and installed numerous times to no avail. IE 11 works great (can't believe I just said that--lol).

Have tried "No proxy" and "Use system settngs"--still a no go.

Created new User Profle--still a no go.

Open Add-ons mgr.--just says "Loading" until I clck Extensions, then "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed"

Click Plugins: OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. automatically installed by Mozilla...)--Always Activate Primetime Content Decryption provided by Adobe Systems, Inc.--Always Activate Windows Activation Technologies--Ask to Activate

I haven't installed any plugins--these were already there.

Please help. I used to install FF and then off to the races I'd go, but not this time.

On two different profiles, the Customize option simply isn't working. I see three different places on the GUI to click on Customize, and none works. Nothing happens when I click on them, beyond the letters "Customize" appearing at the top of a tab.

After appearing earlier this evening, the LastPass icon is also failing to appear on both profiles.

I install new firefox 37 which is not loading any website just wheel is scrolling, while in other browser internet is working fine, i try to solve out the problem but i could not.

i am using windows 8. before few days firefox was working fine. but suddenly it stoped at that time i update the firefox but cant, try in settings as given by the firefox support but than also i could not solve it.

when i close the firefox and again start it says that firefox is already running and to button are ther close firefox and cancle.

when i close firefox and again start it says profile is missing.

when i make it new and delete old one. fierefox will start but could not load any page.

when i again close it the same problem again.

help me

Hi,

I posted this question some time ago and since i didnt get any working solution and I still have this issue I am reposting it now. My problem is simple: I start up my computer and open Firefox. I browse the internet normally. No problem so far. But lets say I go to take a nap or I just stop browsing to do something else on the computer without closing Firefox or whatsoever. After a while I go back to browsing on Firefox (the same window with the same tabs are still open) but now no page will finish loading no matter how long i wait.

So I close Firefox and open it again. Then I get a popup error saying Firefox is still running and that i need to close it. When i close that popup then i get another error saying it was unable to load my profile. I close that and reopen Firefox. Now it loads pages normally again but but only for 1 or 2 minutes and not any more after that. I repeat the whole process and i still get the same results until i restart my computer.

I have checked for any viruses and i have none at all and there is absolutely no problem with my overall connection since no other programs have this problems only Firefox. What can i do?

Thank you.

Edit: Im having the issue right now and I just checked but seems like some tabs work and some dont so i really dont get it.

almost every time I use Firefox, as soon as I quit Firefox, the crash reporter message comes up. how can I make this stop happening? Firefox isn't crashing but the crash reporter is working overtime as if it is!

thanks for your help,

Debbie

Hello! After update to FF57 I've noticed, I can't close FF window by right-click, close window button. It just keeps been there. Have reset my FF, tried safe mode as well. Win7x64.

Tried safemode, retune firefox, turn off LastPass.Diable plugins but,FF crashes most every time close, since updating to windows 10. Please advise. Trouble shooting data says I have windows xp as operating system...That is incorrect....This laptop I bought new from Dell with windows7

Thanks

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.

I have version 39.0 and run windows 7 sp1 (think its not updated). Sometimes when i close the firefox browser, task manager says it is running and using ram. I cannot force close the program, and there are no FF windows open. I have seen that this problem happened around v29, but do not see any solutions for this. Any help? Is FF not built for my OS?

Hello. So, as the question says, Firefox doesn't drop GPU usage and GPU core frequency (but it drops GPU memory frequency). I tried the other browsers (Chrome, Opera, Edge) and it's fine. I have AMD RX560 graphic card with the latest drivers and I also tried previous versions

So I have tried almost everything that is available on internet on this issue of crashes. Some times plugin container error use to come as well but I disabled it. Most recent 5 reports are as follows, your help will be greatly appreciated.

bp-e9056181-3eb8-4ba4-921c-138412150411 bp-ba94f650-7d05-4f98-a7b4-7586e2150411 bp-8701831d-adef-4f26-b42d-2067d2150410 bp-60c5822e-d8e0-4d37-8931-f40412150406 bp-22c5d771-f0dc-4635-af6c-bada72150328

Constantly get an error box when I press the red x to quit Firefox. Very aggravating.

Box says that that Firefox crashed. I did not. I shut it down. Box wants me to send error report. I did that a zillion times! I have no special settings for history or stuff like that. This all started with the update to 37.0. Updates 37.1 and 37.2 did not fix this issue either. My system is 64bit windows 8.1. This issue also happening on my laptop. That is windows 7, 32 bit machine. I did a refresh to my Firefox but that did not solve the problem either.

Help!

Happens at least once a day now. Firefox will be working fine then when I try to go to another webpage will just spin. After xing out it will not restart unless I reboot computer. Even trying to close with Task Manager is ineffective. Tried refreshing but same problem.

In the last week or so, Firefox usually comes up with a message that it crashed unexpectedly after I close it. It has never actually crashed, but it keeps saying it did. I have tried refreshing it, but it continues to give me the error messages.

What problems could cause it to tell me repeatedly that firefox is crashing when otherwise it seems to work fine?

Hi there I have the issue that my FireFox crashes when I stop it. When I restart it I get the opps this should not happend message .

In the crash log the "last line" is MozCrashReason=MOZ_CRASH(Shutdown too long, probably frozen, causing a crash.)

I have gone throught and stopped all add ons and the activated each one anbd after a while the error appeared.. it is clear that the more addons I have loaded the longer the shutdown process takes.

can you help?

I've tried both version 40 and 42. Every time I try to load a webpage, Firefox quits responding part way through. I've gone through add-ons. I went through all the help articles and nothing worked. The problem started after installing Windows 10 and often happens on Politico and Fox News. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. After the uninstall I scanned the registry with ccleaner

Windows 7 64 Bit Firefox 43.0.4

This started with Firefox 43.

After a fresh boot Firefox launches and runs fine. But if I close it I can not start Firefox again unless I reboot my computer.

Looking at the task manager I can see Firefox is running. In fact if I try to launch Firefox multiple times I will see multiple instances of Firefox running in task manager.

But it never opens on my screen. I have tried "refreshing" and even removing and reinstalling.
