Why does Firefox continually close itself without warning, but reopen prior tabs, without an error message or crash report?

For the past couple weeks Firefox has been randomly closing itself, without warning. I will be on another program on my laptop and Firefox will shut down. But, when I reopen it, all my tabs will restore as if nothing happened, and there is rarely a recovery error alert. I also do not receive crash reports for this phenomenon. Everything about the browser seems to be working fine as usual otherwise.

I'm sorry but I think you didn't get the problem right. Firefox just unexpectedly closes. It does not crash. There are no crash reports.

    What can I do ?

    Greetings;
    I would suggest that you try syncing your iPad and updating your software (version 4.3.5 is the latest version). It's been my experience that updates resolve a number of odd behaviors with apps.  Hope this helps.  All the best...

    Why cant i complete iTunes transactions without receiving error messages etc.?

    We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know unless you tell us what the error messages etc are.
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Why does Firefox continue to crash?

    Can someone please suggest why Firefox continues to crash when attempting to download a file. It happens every time, without fail.
    * I have deleted the downloads.sqlite file (more than once) to no effect.
    * I have disabled AVG firewall etc - to no effect.
    * Firefox originally crashed on the latest version, so I downgraded to v5.0.1 - to no effect. I have checked using AVG and an online virus/spyware checker and can find no infection.
    * I have submitted 17 crash reports since 29 September, but when I right click on any of them, and try to open in a new tab, I receive the following messge: “We couldn't find the OOID you're after. If you recently submitted this crash, it may still be in the queue.”
    My OS is Vista Business 32 bit. Thank you for any help & advice.

  • Why does firefox randomly close (no crash report appaears after)?

    Firefox randomly just closes on me. It's not a crash, at least not a normal crash, because the Crash Report does not come up. It's just one moment it is open and the next it is now.
    On top of that when it does do this, and at random other times as well, I am not able to re-open it for several minutes or I have to close the actual process through task manager in order for it to open again.

    I'm sorry but I think you didn't get the problem right. Firefox just unexpectedly closes. It does not crash. There are no crash reports.

  • Why does Firefox continue to block all popups even tho I disabled popups?

    Even though I have disabled FireFox pop-up blocker in Tools, Options, content FireFox blocks EVERY pop-up or site redirect.
    The only other thing is that quit often I get an error message when I try to open FireFox. It works properly the second or third time.
    Also blocks site when a site redirects to another site.

    Do you have a firewall or other security software that can block pop-ups?

  • Why does Firefox 21 close first session every single day?

    My girlfriend has a new Vaio laptop running Windows 8 and Firefox 21.
    Every time she starts Firefox for the first time (after powering up the laptop), the browser closes immediately upon her selecting a bookmark from the bookmark toolbar (usually Gmail) or whatever the first task is that she asks Firefox to do for her. (i.e., search or open a URL.)
    I've already reset Firefox and confirmed that hardware acceleration is NOT enabled. (We've replicated the problem after completing these steps.)
    The last four crash reports are below.

  • Why does Firefox continue to state that the Java Deployment Toolkit is known to be vulnerable.

    The original issue with Java has been fixed yet FF continues to state the same warning which must be confusing at least and a road block for others at worst?
    There's a thread
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636633
    that 'discusses' this and the person Anthony Hughes, QA Mentor (:ashughes)
    has said that the issue should be posted here (don't know why he wouldn't do that himself, seems very unhelpful as a 'Mentor').
    So, I'm posting a question, which is really a request that the Devs remove this warning.
    It has nothing to do with my OS and also doesn't need me to Allow you to install something to gather information, just install Java and check the Plugins...

    Obviously the responder didn't check anything assuming that the responder had Java installed.
    If Java was NOT installed on the responders system, then the responder didn't bother to check 'what you get' when running FF in Safe Mode....
    When running FF in Safe Mode you get NOTHING in the menu bar and therefore you can't check Addons>Plugins to see if the warning exists.
    If the responder had read the thread in Bugzilla@Mozilla the responder would have seen that the warning was added by the FF Support Team, not an Addon.
    I suggest that someone read the other thread, possibly contact 'Hughes', install Java and actually look at the problem rather than providing useless answers to valid questions.
    And the little checkbox indicating that I'm providing the requested information has been left as 'ticked' because the above response fits that criteria - Was this Useful? - No it wasn't.

  • Why does firefox keeps forcing itself on top of all other windows? it doesn't matter what website im on, it always does it! Really gets on my nerves when im watching a video only to have it minimized and firefox slammed in my face lol...

    It's not to do with what website I'm on - Firefox ALWAYS does this even if I just have a blank tab open! Seems to happen in ubuntu and windows 7. Does anyone know why this is??

    Hi,
    You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
    If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • Why does Firefox keep opening new Windows rather than a new Tab in the current window?

    I have " Open a new Tab in the current Window" select in Preferences.
    Why then does this version (Version 4) keep opening new Windows, rather than new Tabs in the current Window.
    This feature worked fine in 3.6.1.3, but in Version 4, it is a frigging pain in the rigging!
    C'mon, Mozilla - time for an URGENT update ...

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why does Firefox Support Home Page open automatically as my second tab, to right of home page, when I start Firefox, and how do I stop this?

    I have newly installed Firefox 4 on my computer as part of re-installing my OS. Firefox now opens with 2 tabs: my specified home tab and, to its right, a Firefox Support Home Page tab. I suppose I did something to cause this, but how can I undo it?

    Reset your homepage and make sure that only one tab is open when you set your homepage.
