Ever since installing Firefox 29, the browser keeps crashing. How do I fix this?

About a week ago, my browser shifted to the new version of Firefox, version 29. Ever since then, I have had repeated random crashes multiple times a day and even an occasional blue screen incident. The browser has become so unstable as to be useless. If I'm counting right, this has generated over 50 crash reports since the upgrade; here's the tags for the last five:

I've shifted over to Chrome until this can be resolved, but I don't want to stay there because of the privacy issues.

I uninstalled Firefox. On the reinstall, the .exe interrupted and crashed due to a corrupt file. At this point, it's more headache than I want to deal with. I'm leaving it uninstalled and going with Chrome (now that I've found some suitable means of dealing with the privacy issue) until Firefox comes out with Version 30.
Sorry, guys, but v. 29 was just too horribly buggy an experience for me to want to repeat.

  • HT4623 I have the 1st ipad 3G wifi cell 64g and it keeps crashing how can I fix this problem

    I have the 1st ipad 3G wifi cell 64g and it keeps crashing how can I fix this ?
    I have restored network settings and cleared history etc ..

    Try closing all apps and reboot the iPad. Clear Safari again as well.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My Firefox freezes whenever I try to search with Google. I am still able to close the browser, though. How can I fix this?

    Whenever I attempt to utilize Google to search anything on the internet, Firefox will freeze. However, I am still able to close the browser window and end the firefox.exe process in order to open a new browser window, but it is annoying an inconvenient to have to do this frequently. Help!

    Might be because of a malware.

  • Safari keeps crashing, how do I fix this issue?

    Safari on my iMac keeps crashing. Is my system too old for the newest updates?

    Hi ..
    First, make sure Safari is up to date.
    Click your Apple menu icon. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
    If the system software is up to date, post a Safari crash report. That may tell us what's causing Safari.
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
    Now copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
    ***  You should be able to run Safari without any problems on Mac OS X 10.6.8

  • After installing the Current Firefox 30, the browser keeps crashing. How do I fix this? (/questions/999699)

    I am using win 7 and get multiple crashes randomly but it can be reliably generated on trying to open http://www.standard.co.uk/news/ .
    I dont want to give up on Firefox but I have been trying so many solutions with no success, and I'am just finding it easier to use Opera and Chrome depending on my mood.

    You can check for issues caused by plugins and set all plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page (plugins are not affected by Firefox Safe Mode)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

    All the pages I visit are being bookmarked under Unsorted bookmarks. This is a breach of privacy since anyone can check my browsing history. How do I stop this? I have turned off Browsing History.

    Firefox doesn't bookmark pages automatically to the Unsorted folder unless you click the star on the location bar.

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?

    I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?
    Worse, i can't force quit the finder and get it to relaunch - the command won't work.
    Most of the Lion software also won't work - iTunes, Mail, iCal - and only some of the preferences work. 
    The message:
    Finder quit unexpectedly.
    Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
    Won't go away no matter if i hit Ignore or Report...
    I have no clue what to do...
    Any help?

    Does that happen if you boot into "safe mode"?  Launch the Console utility and look for messages that might explain the problem.  If you see a "crash report", post its contents here.

  • I have an Ipod Touch and when I activate the shuffle mode it keeps replaying the same song.  How do I fix this problem?

    have an Ipod Touch and when I activate the shuffle mode it keeps replaying the same song.  How do I fix this problem?

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?
    By the way, this is the iPod Shuffle forum.  Since you have an iPod Touch, you should have posted this in the iPod Touch forum.
