Clicking on certain links will cause Firefox to crash on exit. These are normal links, not malformed or maliciously constructed links

Any link of the following form will not execute the link: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=23352. After attempting this, exiting Firefox will cause CPU to go to 50% on a dual core machine. This is confirmed on 3 separate machines. Links of the following format will work: http://roadtoendeavour.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/how-oppy-rolled-up-to-santa-maria. This bug is present on at least the last two to three revisions of Firefox. It is necessary to manualy kill the firefox process after exiting when a link as described is used.

Problem appears to be incompatibility with the Java Console. Deleting the Java Console eliminates the problem. This also eliminated the problem with Firefox developing blank drop down menus.

Clicks on certain links near the bottom are ignored because of floating status indicator

When I try to click on certain links near the bottom of a web page--actually, a customized Bugzilla web page--Firefox 4 does not respond. If I wiggle the mouse enough to make that floating URL "tooltip" (which displays the URL corresponding to the link over which the mouse is hovering) move to the other side of the window and then click on the link, all's well. It's as though that floating URL tooltip is blocking the mouse click.

The add-ons bar is already visible. Bringing up the Menu Bar temporarily does not change the behavior.
Neither of those are the tooltip I was referring to. I'm attaching a screen grab which shows my mouse hovering over the link I want to click, and the URL tooltip directly below. If I wiggle enough to make that tooltip move to the other side of the window, I can click on the link. Otherwise, my click is ignored.

I cannot click on certain links in emails. What can I do to access these links? Thanks

Try closing the App Store app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Google Reader comments cause Firefox to crash.

Clicking the link to add a comment to a Google Reader entry causes Firefox to crash unexpectedly. I've only had this problem since the 3.6.12 update. So far as I can tell, I don't have any problematic add-ons, and my browser is up to date.

This can be problem with one of the fonts that is used on that page and that is corrupted.
You can use the System File Checker to check if font files are missing or corrupted.

Opening website "this american life" in firefox 4.0.1 causes firefox to crash, but the same site opens and streams radio shows just fine in IE. Suggestions?

I am trying to stream radio shows through the website for This American Life. As soon as I open the site and click on a link, I get the message about an unresponsive script. The next click to tell it to continue or ignore causes Firefox to crash -- the fade to white/not responding thing. The same site runs just fine on IE.

Loading software will cause computer to crash

I had a 15GB iPod, but the hard-drive broke. I recently got an iPod mini and when I try to update the software that came with it, a message comes up on my computer saying that it hasn't been checked by Windows, and to talk to Microsoft. I'm using Windows XP. I'm afraid to continue the installation after reading all these posts about updaters causing havoc on computers and iPods. What should I do? Am I being paranoid?

i have the plug in power outlet icon on my mini. is there anyway that i can get rid of that instead of getting a power outlet charger cuz i dont have one. and if there is no other way
You should start your own thread. Your problems have nothing to do with "Loading software will cause computer to crash".
how much is a mini power outlet (not usb) charger
You are two whole mouse clicks from looking it up yourself.

Firefox will not open a new page or tab when I click on certain links, why?

Hi,
I have been having a problem with firefox for the past month.
Clicking on some links which open a new tab/window
do not work. For example I cannot enlarge photos
on ebay listings to have a closer look at the image.
I just see a box at the bottom of the screen that
says 'javascript;' then it disappears.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
p.s.I have tried to load in safe mode, but the problem is still there.

Such JavaScript links should show the image in the same tab, so make sure that you left click such links.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript
Try to reload the web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Is it possible to create a shortcut to a website which will cause firefox to open in fullscreen

I am wondering if it is possible to create a windows shortcut which will not only open a specific website in firefox but also cause firefox to open in fullscreen (F11), for that session only.
Can it be done?
Any help would be much appreciated.

long press your home screenand select "shortcut." IF you can do it then the "documents to go document" will be an option. some apps i have allow for such shortcuts (scanner radio favorite stations, etc) but most do not. if i had to guess, i will say no. but i don't have docs to go. i know pdf viewer doesn't do this. you can add folders, so maybe that would be an option? you'd still have to touch the phone at least twice though.

Firefox gui element capture plug in keeps causing Firefox to crash and it won't open certain windows. Any idea why?

I disabled extensions per Firefox instructions and discovered that 'firefox gui element capture plug in 1.0' is the one causing my problems. Problems being Firefox either crashes or refuses to open an additional window, and then crashes.

I am not sure why this started happening, however please update to version 32.0.3 when its available.
The places we can troubleshoot is in the Applications menu under preferences.
*[[Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
If you set it to pdf.js viewer as default does it not show up?

The Flash plug-in causes Firefox to crash for about 2 minutes every 20 seconds, it is the newest Flash update. It has happened to me both with Firefox 3.6 and 4!

Firefox for me has been fine for the past couple of years or so. Then all of a sudden about 5 months ago, everytime i would use Firefox it would crash after browsing for about 1 minute. I uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times to no avail. I then got sick of the problem and then used IE till now.
However, i heard about Firefox 4 and thought maybe this would fix it. Unfortunately, the same problem occurred! I then heard about being able to start Firefox with add-ons disabled to find any sources of problems, and i've found that the cause if Flash! It is the newest version and always has been, so i don't know what i can do, since Flash is important for most websites nowadays!?

Could you please do the following.
Download the following two files and save to your desktop. These are direct download links so you'll only see the dialog boxes which looks like the ones you see in the screenshot.
* [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
* [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe]
Next, close Firefox via File | Exit (''it's important that you do it this way and not just by clicking the close button'')
Next, double click the '''uninstall_flash_player.exe '''file you downloaded earlier and then '''reboot'''. A reboot is necessary to remove the setting from the Windows Registry.
Next, double click the '''install_flash_player.exe''' file to reinstall Flash.
Finally, restart Firefox and see if it made any difference.

Is Java 10.15.2.3 causing Firefox to crash?

Firefox keeps crashing when trying to open a Java applet. We have uninstalled and re-installed Java, tried older versions of java, uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, tried older version of Firefox, updated plug-ins, enables and disabled different plug-ins, and tried every other troubleshooting suggestion we could find, but we have yet to be able to open a Java applet without Firefox crashing. This problem is only with Firefox, it does not happen with Chrome or IE.

What else can i try?

Have you checked you addons?
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Adobe Flash XI repeatedly causes Firefox to crash

I'm running Firefox 20.0.1 on Windows 7. Flash XI frequently, but not always or consistently, causes a particular website to crash and sometimes causes Firefox to stop responding. Sometimes when Firefox stops responding I have to use the Task Manager to shut it down; other times it starts responding after a few seconds. The website is an important one I visit daily so there may be others I'm not aware of. The problem began two or three months ago (I always install updates). I can't force t to happen. When it happens I can get one of two prompts: "A script on this page... or A movie on this page... is causing Flash to run showly" followed by the options of waiting or stopping the script. Any suggestions?

Install Flash Player in Safe Mode.
Shut down the computer.
Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup,but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen. Startup will take longer than usual.
Login to your account. Launch Safari.
Enter this address in the Safari address bar manually. Click Enter.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Follow the prompts. Install Flash Player.
Once done, quit Safari and restart the computer from  in the menu bar.

Shockwave flash causes firefox 4 crash

shockwave flash causes firefox 4 hangs. it happens whether using the latest or the previous version of flash. removing flash solves the problem but removing flash is not a solution. this happens on a computer with Windows 7. However on another computer with XP this does not happen.
