Firefox crashes (even in safe mode) after updating

Hi
Please can someone help me.
For quite some time now, the firfox ive been using is version 3.6 something i think. Every time i update my firefox e.g. updated to v8 now, it crashes. I try reinstalling, opening in safe mode. Nothing works.
The firefox im using still looks like the old one. Ive never been able to update to the new style (Orange Firefox button in top left corner)
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what the problem is or how to find out exactly whats causing the crashes.
For the time being i am reinstalling the last wroking version of Firefox that i have downloaded.
Latest Crash ID: bp-54bd7d29-fc36-4d7b-aef0-f7b662111109
Thank you

Can anyone help?

Firefox crashes, even in safe mode, when I try to add attachments in Yahoo mail -- running Mac OSX 10.4.11, FF 3.6.16.

Firefox has consistently crashed when adding attachments in Yahoo mail. For a while Firefox would crash immediately when I clicked "attach." Then, for a while it would allow me to upload files if they were located in a folder that the Yahoo mail application opened when I clicked "attach," but if I tried to navigate to a different folder, I would crash when I clicked on the root user folder. I then updated Flash and tried Firefox in safe mode, and now Firefox (in safe mode or not) is again crashing as soon as I click attach in Yahoo mail. My system is as above, Mac OSX Tiger (10.4.11) on an original Mac Pro, all stock parts (I had added some aftermarket RAM but removed it some time ago, before these crashes started). Firefox does NOT generate a crash report dialog when I restart.

can't make much of this crash log but try this. when you get to the smtp server page in setup assistant hold option while clicking "create" or 'continue". this will skip the actual server validation and might prevent crashing.

Firefox crashes, even in safe mode, under certain circumstances.

I'm using up-to-date Ubuntu Linux, other details below.
Firefox crashes, in or out of safe mode, when I do any of the following:
* right click (crashes on-click);
* view flash media (crashes once plugin container opens);
* try to use any of the file/edit etc menus (crashes when i click somewhere in this area);
* open about:tabs or about:config (crashes when i hit enter after typing into url bar);
* when i try to edit anything in about:config (crashes when i right-click);
* open any bookmark from my bookmarks toolbar (on-click).
In case it's related, thunderbird crashes soon after startup, i.e. once the GUI has opened and it starts checking my IMAP folders for mail.
It appears that for most purposes firefox will work indefinitely unless I do something I've mentioned above.
The extensions I run include X-marks and downthemall, but there may be more - I don't appear to be able to check without crashing the program.

Unfortunately the linked crash report is empty (@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump) and doesn't include any data, so it is not possible to find the cause of the crash.

If you do not have Rapport or Roboform, then we need to have a crash report ID.
When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.

thanks for reporting your crash IDs - this crash is triggered by a module named sprotector.dll, which is usually related to adware/malware on a pc. please try these steps:
# go into the system control panel and uninstall toolbars and suspicious software, you don't know which purpose it has (like BrowseToSave, Continuetosave, SaveShare, SafeSaver, WebSearch, SimpleSpeedy, MagniPic and others).
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords). afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that malware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
if the crashes still occur afterwards, please update to firefox 27, which is going to be released later today and should block the sprotector.dll library (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=957258 bug 957258])

The likely problem is use of certain Oracle etc software, the developer Oracle being aware of the problem and working on a fix. Meanwhile there is a registry hack as a potential workaround, or the simpler workaround of downgrading temporarily to firefox 3.6.23.

As soon as I open Firefox it crashes, even in safe mode. I've tried all the options to fix the problem but to no avail. My crash report number is: 1326236186. I hope this helps!

Firefox crashes as soon as I click on the icon. Even in safe mode. I've tried all options of resolving this problem but nothing is working. I really hate using Safari and Chrome. Please help!

Scan your computer in safe mode for bots, malware, trojan's and viruses. Remove any Found and reboot. If Problem still exists, go to control panel, add/remove programs remove firefox. and then download and reinstall firefox. Remember to always close as many running programs like messangers and widgetts when installing any program. This should fix your problem. only other option is to do a system restore to when you were not having any problems, this works 90% of time.

Can't Boot after crash, even in safe mode!

My Mac froze while idle with Lightroom open. It may have hung while remotely copying something off an external hard drive.
But now it won't boot even in safe mode with all USB peripherals detached (including the hard drive that I might have been copying from).
In and out of safe mode, I get the same behavior. After the sound and the grey apple appear, there is also a progress bar, which I don't recal seeing before. It takes about 30 seconds and the progress bar advances about 10-15% of the way and then just power's off.
Is it the main disk drive?
This is an iMac that is several years old with all of software update applied. I don't believe that any software updates were applied recently. I assume that the 10.6.3 update was installed.
Is it the main disk drive?

I had the same problem on my MacBOOk Pro and iMac on 14th April - i had to reformat the harddisk and could restore from my Timemachine backup to the last 10.6.2 state only. Both happended after updating to 10.6.3. But my laptop was sluggish. Based on feedback, I reformatted my hard disk and carried out a fressh installation from my snow leopard disk (10.6) and updated it to 10.6.3 using the 10.6.3v1.1 combo update about a week back. The machine was definitely faster - but yesterday, the same problem reoccurred - the machine froze and would not boot even in safe mode. Repairing the hard disk using the boot CD did not work either. Just now I reinstalled Snow leopard from the OSx CD - it has replaced the OS and left all apps and data intact. I have upgraded it to 10.6.2 only.
My desktop iMac has been running without problems on 10.6.2 for the last 3 weeks. In my opinion, the problems of freezing (reported by others) and this one here are all related to boot sector corruption due to some problem in 10.6.3. There have been some reports suggesting that after 10.6.3, the CPUs are heating up more. The CPU temp was close to 70 deg C when on 10.6.3 - it maybe that some change after the update makes the processor overrun leading to this boot sector corruption - it generally happens slowly over days or weeks slowly accumulating to a break down point.
My suggestion from my experience over the last one month, is stick to 10.6.2 - don't update to 10.6.3. I am hoping Apple will fix the problems in 10.6.3 update soon.

Windows 8.1 Outlook 2010 won't open even in safe mode after 4/5/2014 update

There was an update today, 4/5/2014 for Windows 8.1. I was able to open Outlook 2010 prior to update. Ever since the update, I cannot open Outlook 2010, not even in Safe Mode. I need help!!!

Hi,
Make sure there's no Outlook process in Task Manager prior to you open it.
Then we can check if it can start properly in Clean Boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Outlook:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If you still can't open Outlook, consider uninstalling the latest update from Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> View installed updates.

My firefox is running in "safe mode" after i downloaded it - why? how do i take it out of safe mode

I have windows 7 operating system - I just downloaded firefox but it is running in "safe mode" rather than normal mode can you teach me how to fix this please?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I downloaded it and first used it

Do you get the [[Safe mode]] start window?
See [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
If you do not get the Safe mode start window then see this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved and [[Preferences are not saved]]

Desktop stuck at black screen with cursor in normal mode but boots fine in safe mode after updates.

After running some updates the other night my laptop stopped loading the desktop and just gets stuck at a black screen with a cursor after I log in to the user account. The only thing I can do from there is do ctrl+alt+delete, then log off or restart.
I can't open up task manager. I tried creating another account in safe mode thinking there was an issue with the account but I still have the same issue. In event viewer I have two warnings one is
event 6000 winlogon, The winlogon notification subscriber <GP Client> was unable to handle the notification event
and event 4006, winlogon The windows logon process has failed to spawn a user application. Application name. Command line parameters: C:\Windows\system32\userinint.exe.
As well as error event id 1003, CertificateServicesClient Certificate Services Client failed to invoke the Providers in response to event 512. Error code 2147956401
and error 1001, certificate services client. certificate services client failed to load provider pautoenr.dll. error code 14001. I checked the registry and the path points to the right directory for userinit. I have tried running
System Repair but no errors were found, and I ran sfc /scannow and no errors were found either. The computer did not have System Restore enabled and I do not want to restore to factory settings. I also ran registry mechanic and it found no errors. Any suggestions
besides restoring to factory settings?

Hi,
We may try to reinstall Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for a test.
In addition, let us perform the following steps.
1. Click Start, Run, type lusrmgr.msc then ENTER.
2. Select Groups in the left pane.
3. Double-click Users in the right pane.
4. Click Add, and then click Locations. Scroll to the top of the Locations dialog and select the local computer name, then click OK.
5. In the Enter the object names to select field, type Interactive; Authenticated Users (separated by a semi-colon). Then click OK.
6. Restart the computer.
Or we can run the following commands from a command prompt:
Net localgroup Users Interactive /add
