  • Firefox crashes when opening "Extras Add-ons"

    Firefox crashes when opening "Extras>Add-ons" (German user interface - I don't know what the according menu points are labeled in English).
    The crash seems to be so severe that no crash ID is created. On every restart after a crash Firefox 4 is in offline mode and has to be switched back to online mode. If needed I could provide a screenshot of the error message shown when firefox crashes.
    There were no problems on this machine running firefox 3.xx. The problems occurred after upgrading from firefox 3.6x to firefox 4.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Remote Desktop MAC version 8.0.5 crashing when opening format panel in Excel

    Remote Desktop MAC version 8.0.5 crashing when opening a format panel in Excel.  Attempt to reconnect via RDC do not work until you log into Windows direct and close the formatting window.  I'm running Windows 7 Pro, Service Pack 1 and using Microsoft
    Remote Desktop version 8.0.5 on a Mac running OS X 10.9.2.  Reproduced error 3 times.  Has also twice caused Excel to crash, so error does seem specific to the Windows environment and/or interaction with RDC (i.e. - not Mac related).

    Hi,
    Would you please provide us the log file for check after issue occurs.
    Microsoft Remote Desktop -> About Microsoft Remote Desktop -> Send log via email -> Copy and paste the log here.
    Thanks.

  • Firefox crashes when opening after upgrading to 6.0.2

    After upgrading firefox to 6.0.2 firefox crashes upon opening. When I try to open firefox the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" opens up. I tried all the sugestions on the support page. None of these worked. It will open with the computer in safe mode. I can not find where to start firefox in safe mode after upgrading.
    I can open it now after running firefox in compatibility mode for windows XP sp2. The problem with this is I have to accept permission everytime I open firefox. If I change user account control settings to not ask every time firefox crashes on opening again.

  • Firefox crashes when opening new tab

    Crash-ID: bp-681f1751-fc5b-4f14-a30b-f93ed2150407
    I have tryed:
    Clean install (with removing of C:prog..\mozilla)
    Uninstalling and deleting extensions
    Restarted Firefox in safe mode without addons/extensions.
    Uninstalling/updating flash/adobe
    I can start firefox, but when i press the "+" to open a new tab Firefox closes and "Mozilla Crash-report" window opens.
    It seems like firefox it self can open a tab. For example when i do a fresh installation, Firefox opens with 2 tabs.
    But when i want to open one it fails and Firefox shuts down. Its really wierd because i have never run in to this kind of problem before and i dont recall installing anything new before this problem showed up.

    You can check the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.

    Thx! For some reason the string was set to "about:newtab" or something like that. Changed the name to my default homepage and the problem was fixed. Any ideas on why this happend? I didn't change it myself.

  • Firefox crashes when opening and the crash report I get is Firefox 3.6.3 Crash Report [@ strlen | nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ].

    Firefox 3.6.3 crashes when opening and the Crash Report [[@ strlen nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ]. It was working perfectly fine and the last three days, I am having difficulty in opening firefox. It crashes with the above crash report every time I open. I came across the bad image error and did a clean reinstall multiple times and that did not help. I have firebug and firecookies as an addon.

    Usually doesn't immediately crash, although that happens also. Usually hangs, then crashes.
    Addons are WHY I use Firefox when it works. I am NOT on the bleeding edge any longer. I could go back to boring, boring, Chrome.

  • Firefox crashes when opening and will not open in safe mode

    Recently FF3 started crashing when opening. It will not open in safe mode as well. I have uninstalled it including deleting the install folder and profile folders as well as registry entries. Upon reinstallation is will still not launch in any mode.
    I have scanned for malware with several scanners and that has not found anything.
    Here is the crash report cause - nsCOMPtr_base::~nsCOMPtr_base() | nsDocShell::SetupNewViewer(nsIContentViewer*)

  • Why does Firefox crashes when viewing Google Images?

    I was having six tabs open, one is an online pdf and two are from Google Images while the rest are forum tabs. The Firefox (ver 19 which I'm using currently) lags whenever I search for images using Google and in seemingly random occurrence, it will cause the Firefox to immediately crash with no warning. I had lost a significant portion of my time in composing emails and searching for information due to this unexpected error and it had occurred for past three versions of Firefox for me, pointing at the same initial triggers, having Google Images tab open. Checking the crash reporter reveals nothing as it stated "EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump." I hope the Mozilla team would immediately rectify this problem as it's quite annoying--and time wasting.

  • Firefox crashes when opening a local file (a .jpg photo) click drive, click directory and it crashes.

    Firefox crashes when clicking FILE / OPEN FILE / Drive (G:)/and when double clicking the directory containing the file. It happens every time I'm trying to open a local file. Must close, go to Internet Explorer, Opera or Chrome which have no problems doing this.

    You are running out of memory. In the stack notice this line:
    Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
    Edit the sqldeveloper.conf file and add this
    AddVMOption -Xmx1024M

  • Since updating to Version 5 EU1.1, Firefox does not open from Outlook email links despite having all program defaults - how can I fix this, please?

    Clicking on a weblink in an Outlook email fails to open the website in Firefox even when the browser is already open. Firefox is set as default browser. There was no problem with this before the latest Firefox update a few days ago.
    I have tried changing program defaults to Internet Explorer (email links worked) and then back again to Firefox, but email links still don't work.

  • Acrobat 11.01.10 Mac OS 10.8.5 Crashes when opening preferences or making annotations

    I noticed my MacBook Air (2 GHz Intel Core i7 8 GB Memory) was opening Acrobat Pro 8 rather than Acrobat Pro 11 -- I had installed the latter but at some point had starting defaulting to the former.
    So I deleted Acrobat Pro 8 and began using just XI. I'm using the latest update: Acrobat Pro 11.01.10
    I lost my custom tools, so I recreated them after trying to restore them from Time Machine.
    Anyway, the program runs fine for a bit, then crashes. It will crash when using some annotation tools, always when trying to enter a text comment or copy and paste one. Another predictable way to make it crash is to try and open Preferences.
    I am still using Mac OS 10.8.5.  I will upgrade the Mac OS as soon as some problems with other programs I use are resolved so I can upgrade.
    According to the release notes, Acrobat 11 should run fine on this and later versions of Mac OS.
    ( Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes )
    Can anyone suggest any help getting  Acrobat Pro XI not to crash? I'm tempted to delete and reinstall the program but I downloaded it, I believe, so I will need to figure out how to do that. I normally order a backup CD but I'm not sure those exist anymore.
    Thanks!

    P.S. I tried updating Adobe Applications Manager, which led me to sign into a free Creative Cloud membership. I have signed out of it, as suggested in another post.
    I have also observed that I can copy a text box. The program only crashes when I try and type any character in the text box.

    The solution was to remove all versions of Acrobat Pro and reinstall Acrobat Pro XI. I still had the download file in my Time Machine backup. That's a good thing, since the download link from the order listing on the Adobe website under my account would not work.
    The problems don't occur with version 11.0.0. I got the work done, now I'm updating to 11.1.0 and will report if they came back.
