Firefox crashes because of msvcrt

Title...
This seems to be a rather widespread error though, if you look at the statistics: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/products/Firefox
The crash appears when closing Firefox. I already tried to uninstall Visual Studio but that changed nothing.
//EDIT:
I just wanted to write down the numbers:
msvcrt.dll@0x2070 - 11,441 crash reports on 4.0.1
msvcrt.dll@0x2070 - 7,970 crash reports on 3.6.17

i had similar trouble...resolve for me was to upgrade internet explorer to ver 8

  • Firefox crashes because it use the whole memory

    I'm using a Composite Application Framework, that contains portlet that refresh its data every 10 seconds. That cause Firefox to "eat" memory. It reserve the whole memory and after that it crash. I think that this happens because of JavaScript caching, and this framework changes often the IDs of the controls and paths for accessing the JavaScripts. Can you propose me some workaround or could you please fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    If you mean that I have to read solutions there - I did it, but none of it does not gave me answer why Firefox use the whole memory when only one web page containing one portlet is opened. I tried to get help from the crash id web page - unfortunately I can't open that page. Maybe I have to report another question about sending the errors, because after that crash it seems that no data is send to firefox server

  • What did the installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 changed in the system because after that Firefox crashes every time when opened?

    My system worked normally but after I installation CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 Firefox crashes every time I try to open it. I've tried disabling plugins and add-ons but with no success. Reinstallation of Firefox hasn't helped. But as I this has happened to me on a couple of other computers too, I've been able pin point the source of problem to installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 (and earlier versions, too).
    Firefox can be opened without problems in safe mode or in Windows XP SP3 compatiblity mode. Does Firefox use some different system components then?
    I am using 32-bit Windows7 and latest version of Firefox.

    It is possible that the CorelDRAW program installed extra fonts on your computer and that Firefox is having a problem with one or more of them.
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    You can also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Firefox crashed and now will not start. Cannot create new profile or start in safe mode because Mozilla Crash Reporter appears and will not restart.

    Browing the web, Firefox crashed. Typical "this is embarrassing" window appeared and I could choose to restore or start new session. I tried to restore, and nothing happened. Mozilla Crash Reporter appeared, the option to quit Firefox seems to work but restarting just brings back the Crash Reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but Crash Reporter persists. I tried looking through your articles on crash on startup, but I cannot open Profile Manager, nor start in safe mode, nor anything else, with that Crash Reporter popping up. I can't give you a crash ID as I can't type anything into Firefox address bar if I can't open the program. I'm running Windows 7 starter edition on a netbook. Honetly really only use Firefox on this machine, so help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
    so here ya go.

  • Firefox crashes on some web sites because of Shockwave Flash plug-in

    I have the latest Firefox running on updated Windows Vista SP2. Each time I go to my Google+ site, FF opens it and then crashes. I have located the problem for this crash to the Adobe Flash plug-in. When I disable the Shockwave Flash plug-in, crashes would stop. The Shockwave plug-in is updated to the latest version, and I even re-installed it, which didn't help. I have similar crashes on some other sites during searches. It becomes rather frequent and irritating. Please suggest some options how to deal with that.

    Thanks for reply. I do have the updated version of Trusteer Rapport. It is really interesting - I disable Shockwave Flash, and the crashes would stop. Then I would enable the Shockwave and stop the Rapport, the crashes would also stop. However, when they both are active - Firefox crashes all the time on Google+ web site. I do not have the same problem with Google Chrome and IE-9, only Firefox. I will try to ask Trusteer forums, but doubt that they would be able to offer something. It looks like Firefox specifically does not like something.

  • Firefox crashes when i go to yahoo mail and youtube

    == Issue
    ==
    Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
    == Description
    ==
    When I first downloaded and installed Firefox, all the sites were working just fine. I went around YouTube watching videos, went to my Yahoo! mail, etc. But, later on, when I tried to visit YouTube again, Firefox kept crashing. I thought if I just shut down my laptop and waited until the next day, it would be fine. But, I visited Yahoo! mail first, and everything was fine for about 5 minutes, but then Firefox suddenly crashed. I opened up Firefox again, visited Yahoo! mail again, and Firefox crashed once more. I went around Mozilla for help, and I noticed that other people have had this problem too. I tried to fix it by going into 'My Computer' and deleting that plugin stated in the help page, but I can't seem to find anything in my computer. So help please on how I can fix this? Thanks in advance!
    Also, I had restored my laptop to its factory settings right before installing Firefox (because my laptop had problems), so would this affect it in any way? Before I restored to factory settings, my laptop never had these problems with Firefox.

    Hello Teresa.
    Unfortunately, the computer doesn't work with waiting for issues to fix themselves, by themselves. Unless this is an error with the sites themselves (unlikely), it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to open a downloaded file

    Hello!
    Whenever I try to open a file I have just downloaded Firefox stops working. I get a windows 'Firefox has stopped working' error message.
    Steps:
    Download a file
    Blue download arrow icon flashes to indicate that download has completed
    I click the download arrow to open the list of downloaded files
    I click the file I want to open
    Firefox crashes
    I have tried the following:
    - reinstall firefox
    - refresh firefox
    - start firefox in safe mode (still crashes)
    I have also tested in Windows safe mode and do not have the problem there. I believe this indicates that there is another piece of software that is causing the crash but I don't know how to identify which other piece of software it is.
    Firefox doesn't record these crashes in about:crashes so I have no log to share.
    I do have an Error from the Windows event viewer:

  • How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

    Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
    My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

    Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.

  • Firefox crashes when scolling pages in youtube

    I've been having this problem the last 2 weeks, more or less. Firefox crashes when on youtube when I start to scroll or even when I try to go to another tab.
    It doesn't seem to be the plugin that crashes because when that crashes it usually doesn't crash the whole browser, when it's only the plugin that crashes you get the message "shockwave flash has stopped working" or something like that, and if you click on the stop plugin button, it just greys out the video frame; I've had this type of crash too, yesterday, but not on the youtube site, it was on another site, in a page with several youtube videos embedded, maybe the two things are related, I don't know, but this type of crash only happened yesterday, and I dont' even recall the last time it had happened.
    The other type of crash, as I said, crashes the whole browser, but I also noticed that it doesn't save a crash report; today it happened several times, but the last crash report is the one from yesterday, from the plugin crash I was talking about!
    Also, I tried with internet explorer, and all seems to work fine, no crash when I scroll or view videos on youtube; also yesterday, when the plugin was crashing repeatedly, I went in IE and tried with that, and all was working fine.
    To sum up, Firefox crashes when scrolling down pages on youtube, not always, but a lot, sometimes when switching to another tab from youtube, yesterday the plugin crashed repeatedly in a page with embedded youtube videos, no crash report for the first type of crash, IE work fine in both cases.
    Finally, hardware acceleration in the plugin is disabled, I tried having protected mode in the Flash plugin both disabled and enabled, and no update for my graphic card is available.
    Here are some crash reports:

    I also did a system file check and it says "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them". In the log then, the only file that seems it was not possible to repair is "member file [l:36{18}]"Amd64\CNBJ2530.DPB" of prncacla.inf, Version = 6.3.9600.17415". The log is huge so I cannot copy it, I don't know if it's possible to upload a text file, but then again I don't think there's much more. As I said no graphics driver updates are available for my card. After the System file check I went to youtube and started scrolling up and down and the crash happened.

    Thank you for clearing that up. I have another idea. There is a feature called accelerated scrolling in Firefox, however there are also modules that might be associated with malware. Options > Advanced > General > Smooth scrolling (uncheck this to test)

  • How do i stop Firefox crashes when I want to print a recipie from web

    I have gone to a number of websites in the last few days and every time i try to print a form or a recipie, firefox crashes and will not allow me to print from any site

    You're not going to stop it, and out here, what's illegal?
    What it boils down to is a matter of ethics, and it's wrong. But the web
    techies build this feature into their sites because they know somebody
    is going to fly in off an engine like Google or MSN. And take something,
    like a picture. Without stopping in and signing up or something else.
    But what if I or you is out collecting stamps or avatars or wallpapers,
    and have already taken a quiz, or signed up for a product? I've already
    done that...but the site developers who use this ingenious(hijacking)
    software don't see it that way, and don't care if you just got a computer
    and want to pick up something here or there. Those sites don't get
    anything when you visit and don't leave your number. I don't what
    these 19 tracking cookies are for, do you?

  • Firefox crashes on startup

    Here's the deal.
    From one day onto the next, out of the blue, Firefox (version 18.0.1) refuses to start up.
    I get the crash reporter screen as soon as Firefox tries to start, stating that firefox has crashed.
    If I click on "Details" nothing happens.
    If I click on "Restart Firefox" I immidiately get the next Crash Reporter screen.
    No Windows updates were installed, and no Firefox updates either from what I can tell.
    I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit with SP1 btw...
    So I tried starting firefox in "Windows Compatability mode" using Windows XP SP3.
    Now Firefox starts, including all plugins, without any problems.
    I can also start firefox in "Safe mode" by holding down the SHIFT key when double-clikcing on the firefox icon.
    So while in safe mode, I typed about:crashes in the URL bar witch showed the following:

    (in the mean time, I have a whole lot more :( )
    So then (still in Firefox safe mode) I went into the Add-ons Manager and uninstalled all Extensions.
    Then I disabled all plugins (which btw are all up to date according to Firefox itself):
    Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.110.21 10.11.2.21
    Java(TM) Paltform SE 7 U11 10.11.2.21
    Adobe Acrobat 11.0.1.36
    Shockwave Flash 11.5.205.146
    Silverlight Plug-In 5.1.10411.0
    VLC Web Plugin 2.0.2.0
    Wacom Tablet Plugin 2.1.0.2
    Then I closed Firefox, but when trying to start Firefox again in normal mode, it crashed again.
    I have also tried uninstalling Firefox completely, then running a registry cleaner to make sure everything was really gone.
    Then downloading and installed Firefox 18.0.1 again.
    But as soon as it started it crashed again.
    I again uninstalled Firefox, ran the reg-cleaner but this time I installed Firefox version 9 (which I still had on a backup drive), but this version too, crashes on startup.
    And I had the same with version 15 which I also still had on the backup drive.
    But whichever version I install, they all crash at startup unless I start them in compatibility mode or safe mode.
    I even uninstalling all the programs which had a plugin embeded in the browser, so there were no plugins left.
    And again, uninstalled Firefox and reinstaled it. But still Firefox crashes at startup.
    And finally I even updated my graphics drivers and followed this thread:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration#os=win7&browser=fx18
    Since I've done everything I can think off, I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be.
    So if anyone has any idea, please let me know.
    I hate to switch browsers, and I don't want to run things in "compatability mode" just to have it working, because it did work before.
    in the mean time, here are some more crash reports:

    Just a small update...
    I tried running a portable version of Firefox which I had on my USB stick... same problem.
    The same goes for my TOR Browser (which uses Firefox too), it too crashes when the embedded Firefox is started.
    Both however, have always worked just fine on the same system and still work fine on any other system I have.
    ---edit---
    Well I finished uninstalling and removing everything Firefox related on my system (also ran the reg-cleaner again).
    I downloaded and reinstalled Firefox 18, but it still crashes.
    I ran it in safe mode, disabled the hardware acceleration, and ran it again in normal mode...
    guess what... it works again!
    The weird thing is, I already tried disabling the hardware acceleration but it didn't work.
    So why it works now? I haven't got a clue.
    The other weird thing is... why did this problem occur in the first place... There have been no changes to my system, no updates, nothing.
    Ah well, I guess I'll never know. But at least it's working again.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Firefox crashes every few minutes. Reinstall, format, memtest ok, disk ok. No changes.

    My PC was working ok, but I decided to format it because it was time.
    I did it, and when I was using the recently installed firefox, it crashes. And did it again few minutes later, and again, and so on.
    Tried in deactivating Add-ons, deactivating Sync, reseting Firefox, reinstalling Firefox, format again, installing an updated windows 7, but it keeps doing it.
    Run memtest all night, all perfect. Hard drive perfect too.
    I don't know what to do now, so I follow the steps here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-troubleshoot-prevent-and-get-help
    and now I'm asking you about it.
    If you need any more information, please let me know.

  • Firefox crashes on opening within seconds. started suddenly several weeks ago and i haven't been able to get on since. i reinstalled but updating didn't work. it won't even open in safe mode. HELP!

    firefox crashes on opening within seconds. this started suddenly a few weeks ago and despite several daily attempts, i still can't load firefox application. it crashes immediately upon startup every time no matter what and crash reporter arrives. i have researched all the articles and followed their suggestions. i installed the newest version of firefox and still get the same results. i can't even open firefox in safe mode.

    You do not want to remove the program directory with a Mac because Firefox is most likely installed in the system Applications directory which is where the system applications are stored.
    Have you tried removing the Firefox plist file from your user library? I have Mac OS 10.6.8 as well, and that file is at /Users/<user name>/Library/Preferences. Close Firefox and remove that file, then start Firefox again.

  • Firefox crashes when starting up, does work in savemode.

    Firefox crashes most of the time when you start it up.
    I've already done a whole lot of things, like:
    -updating everything (firefox, plugins, addons).
    -removing addons
    -disabling / turning off plugins
    It does NOT happen in save mode, so that makes you wonder.
    I think it has something to do with one of these things:
    - I updated Shockwave for Director (adobe), but the older version is still visible as a plugin. I cannot delete this plugin, though it is not installed on my computer anymore and it has no use whatsoever. I can however turn it off to see if this does the trick. It does not help, but maybe really deleting it does help? I don't know because I can't delete it.
    - FireFox runs in SandBox by Avast! Sometimes it does seem like this is the problem, but sometimes he still crashes even though I open FF without SandBox.
    - it does seem like hardwarespeed-up has something to do with it. But I'm not sure.
    My questions: does anybody know how to really remove the old Shockwave for Director plugin?
    Is it possible this is caused by sandbox avast?
    How can I establish the hardwarespeed-up being turned off? I can turn it off, this does seem to help: it won't crash. However, when I open FF again, it is being turned on again.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    *https://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/
    If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
