(1) understanding why Firefox consistently crashes; (2) why Firefox does not acknowledge when "cookies" ARE enabled.

Firefox will crash while I am using the internet...no warning, no apparent reason...just an apology for the crash. Why?
Today, when using an Adobe application Firefox did not recognize or allow the website to recognize that "cookies" WERE enabled. I kept receiving a message that the website could not proceed until same was enabled. Even after several redoing the enabling instructions, the message report the cookies were NOT enabled. Yet, as I write this the screen menu drop down in Tools, Options shows the cookies is programmed and are enabled. Why? How to fix?

Please upgrade your browser Firefox 7 where we fix ton of crashes and freezes:

Thanks. The problem was solved when I inserted a word in the subject line. Previously I was keeping it blank.

Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
Thank You!
I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
I have:
Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

Adobe Reader plugin :This sentence "le fichier ne commence pas par '%PDF-'" appears when I try to open some (not all) PDF files within Firefox (does not happen when I download the file)

This sentence (in french version) "le fichier ne commence pas par '%PDF-'" appears when I try to open some (not all, mainly bigger than 1Mo) PDF files within Firefox (does not happen when I download the file)

You mention Thunderbird, has the PDF file been emailed to you? If it has this support page from Adobe may help - http://www.adobe.com/fr/support/toptech/acrobat/319294/

Windows Live ID says Firefox does not support JavaScript (it is enabled) or doesn't allow scripts (?)

Windows Live ID says JavaScript is required to sign in (to Hotmail). It says Firefox does not support JavaScript (under content, the enable JavaScript box is checked) or scripts are being blocked (how?). How can this be addressed?

Your system info included ''no script'', is that active and blocking things ?
You could consider temporarily disabling ''no script'' by using
* Firefox button -> Add-ons -> | Extensions| ... [disable]
As a more general note it is worth trying firefox's [[safe mode]] and also using the default theme, and disabling any plugins.

Why Wizard does not start when selecting Current User?

Program does not RUN. Wizard does not open after selecting Option for Current User

Did you try downloading and running the Firefox FULL installer, '''Firefox Setup 29.0.exe''' ? That will help with problems running the stub installer, which needs to download additional files after you run it.
You can get Firefox FULL installer here: (choose the Windows download for your language, e.g., English US)
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Once you install Firefox, you may have to run it once with an Administrator account, if the installation was from a limited account. Ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox
If you install Firefox on a multi-user system where access privileges are restricted, you must run Firefox as a user with access to that location upon installation so that all initial startup files are generated.

Firefox does not "close" when closed under Windows 7; Task Manager must be used to "End Process." How do I close Firefox and reopen it without getting a "Still Running" error message?

Even though Firefox has been updated multiple times (currently using Ver. 3.6.13) since I started using Windows 7, I am still unable to totally close it from the toolbar or taskbar. Firefox does closeout on the screen but apparently continues to run in the background. If I open Firefox at a later time, I get an error message stating that Firefox is still running. I then have to go Task Manager to "End Process." Electing to do so allows me to restart Firefox. I never had this problem with Firefox when using Windows XP and I never have this problem with any other software under Windows 7.

Firefox does not start when I click, but consume a lot of resourcein task manager

Hello,
Since a few days, when I click Firefox, it does not start anymore (browser Windows does not appear anymore).
Also, I noticed that after I click, my computer makes a lot of noise et becomes slow & gets almost blocked: I can see that in the task manager/processes, firefox is there and consume a lot of memory ressources.
Can you help ?
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for you reply. What you propose me is to create a new profile and transfer the files from the old profiles to the new.
I am not interested by this option as I want to keep my current profile as I am using programs working on this profile and also have Firefox working on this profile.
But I have a new information which might help. I did not see it during my last tentative but after a few minutes after Mozilla launch, there was like a bug report which were generated.
I copy paste below. Hope that it can help :

My firefox does not open, when I click on the icon nothing happens

My firefox does nothing at all.

Also having the same problem.
I have tried the following with no luck.
*Uninstalling and deleting profile + profile.ini then reinstalling
*deleting the .parentlock file
*deleting and reinstalling version 3.6.8.dmg
*Checked the activity monitor that the application isn't listed as running
*Downloaded addtrap and uninstalled again
all with no luck.
Try some of these first as they might fix your problem but not mine! ;)
If anyone knows of something I may be missing I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Don't understand why Keychain does not accept my password?

If I launch Keychain and then double click on an item in the Login Keychain I then get a new window where I can select 'Show Password'. This will cause a another window to open asking me for my Password. So I enter my normal Login password and the password for that item is shown. Which is as I expect.
If I now select the System Keychain and select an item and choose 'Show Password' and enter my Login password as before it is not accepted?
I can unlock the System keychain with my Login password but I can't gain access to the two items in my system keychain using my Login password?
What am I doing wrong or is it expecting another password which I know nothing of?
How can I reset this such it accepts my Login password, I presume it will mean I lose those two items in my system keychain and will have to start again.

Why video does not play when embedded in a PDF when viewed in Windows 8?

I have a situation where video must be embedded within the PDF document and it was working for us using older versions of IE and on 32 bit machines and using acrobat X. When the same file was tested on Windows 8 it looks good and behaves well except the embedded video does not play. The same video (.mp4) will play on the new OS if it is not embedded in the PDF.
Is this because the PDF is looking for a 32 bit flash player? Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a fix for this situation?

Are you watching the pdf file from Adobe Reader?
Windows 8 by default has a diferent reader for pdf files that does not support rich media elements.

Firefox does not respond when trying to upload photos or files to Facebook, Google+, or similar sites.

When trying to upload photos to various websites, Firefox brings up the pop up to view and select locations on your computer, but it never fully loads, it just kinda freezes, never allowing you to select files. I eventually get a 'This program is not responding' message and have to force close.

Second times a charm!!!
Maybe the link I had 1st time had a bug or something... I had installed it, restarted computer and all, exactly same process... and it had done nothing.
But download page wasn't the same. Real weird.
Good thing is, now it works!
So to anyone who has had same problem, tried the "patch download" solution and didn't have any success (like me previously - which is why I posted)... TRY AGAIN! The link above works!
Thanks

Firefox does not open when i click on the icon or menu path

when i click on the desktop icon or go through the menu path to open firefox, the computer will run it but nothing appears. apparently, firefox is still running in the background but i cant get to it. so whenever i try to edit another program that involves firefox, i have to go to the task manager to manually shut it down.
i tried running it in safemode but it does the same thing. furthermore, i deleted the whole program and reinstalled it hoping that that might fix the problem. however that did not work, i have searched all the offered support and have come up dry.
i am running the current firefox version and i am using a windows 7 professional operating system

Hi,
It could be that a security software installed in the system is blocking the new updated Firefox executable. You may have to go into the settings of the security software to re-trust Firefox.
Please also check if you are able to start Firefox by browsing to the Firefox installation folder ('''Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\''' or '''Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\''' ) and clicking '''firefox'''.

Firefox does not warm when closing or quitting multiple tabs

Even though I have it set to warn me when closing or quitting, Firefox will quit and close multiple tabs. It defeats the purpose of having that setting turned on in the first place. Please help.

It looks like a setting I thought I had turned on was not:
browser.showQuitWarning: true
