Everytime I try to open Firefox, it crashed without opening. I've followed all steps in the FAQ and under the Firefox help section and NOTHING WORKS.

For the past 3-4 hours, I have been trying to se Firefox to open. It refuses to open and crashes each time. I've sent Crash Reports each time.
This all started when I updated and downloaded the lasted version.
I've scanned my computer for viruses, I've restarted my computer, I've uninstalled and installed firefox multiple times.
NOTHING IS WORKING.
It's becoming very frustrating. I have many impostant bookmarks and files saved on firefox and I am unable to access them. This is no longer just a small problem. As I already stated for the past 3-4 hours I've been trying and get nothing but Crash Reports. THREE - FOUR HOURS OF TROUBLESHOOTING JUST TO ACCESS THE INTERNET!!!!

Hello Pohaku66, any luck if you [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding#w_remove-the-profile-lock-file remove the profile lock file] ?
thank you

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

PDF documents not opening in Mozilla at all, PDF option is not there under the options tab applications

Hi,
Firefox has automatically been "asking me" if I want to save the pdf document instead of showing them in the browser. I have update 22. I have tried to look for the pdf options under the options>applications settings and it doesn't even show up! Is this because I updated? I updated on July 4th and didn't need a pdf until now and this problem showed up. Before, I did not have this problem. PDFs were opening on the browser and I had that pdf option under the application's list.
So I don't know what to do since I don't even have that option on here. What should I do?

Hi thank you for taking the time to reply.
''"You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader"''
Yes, I have Adobe Reader installed and that's my preffered option. I have recently and manually uninstalled Adobe reader,Reinstalled it again, restarted my computer, and I am still having the same problem. I cannot see the option to preview the pdfs in firefox using adobe. It either uses the the Firefox pdf reader Zeon? or the other option is to Always ask me to download it to my desktop.
I have attached what I see, maybe you can help me based on that. It seems the plugins work well (Figure 2) but only the pdf plugin for adobe to be previewed in firefox is missing (Figure1).
Also, I attempted to re-initialize the plugin database but it still gives me the same option as always.
''"You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer." ''
No, if I set it to "true" then the pdf option under applications disappears. So I have kept it as false. (Figure 3 shows that it goes missing, not the same as in Figure 1)

Googlemaps will not work since I downloaded latest version of Firefox. Any suggestions? I've followed all of the troubleshooting suggestions at Googlemaps already and no luck. Thanks.

From here it looks like you used Safari instead. Lots of choices that's what I like.
You did end Firefox and try to restart didn't you?
If you did then I would expect you have a problem with your Firewall, and would have had it before, does not affect IE, it does affect Firefox, I don't know about other browsers. See
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

Crashed thrice today. Followed all steps recommended etc etc - if Mozilla were a car, it would be recalled - get it in gear!

Followed all steps in these threads - no hardware acceleration, disabled plug ins - even ran w/out adobe or java enabled and PLEADED for a response in crash reports - nada zip zero - I like the privacy controls of Mozilla but this is starting to interfere with productivity.

Hi angry_user, thank you for the update.
I'm not sure how NoScript was involved, but because many sites split their scripts between different servers, perhaps they went haywire when some of the scripts did not load. ??

I need to revert my timeline back to where it was before it was saved. I made a compound clip and then trimmed it and exported it and then shut down fcp. So, when I opened it back up there was only the compound clip. Can someone help me and tell me how?

Select the compound clip and do Clip->Break Apart Clip Items (or Cmd-Shift-G).

Since upgrading to the newest version of Firefox, it crashes upon opening everytime. I have tried re-instaling it, as well as creating a new user profile with no results. Older versions seem unaffected.

Firefox 6.0.1 crashes upon opening every time. Have re-installed older versions that work fine.

Firefox crashes without opening

Everytime I try and open a firefox page, A notice comes of a crash report comes up. I have tried starting in safe mode, but It still doesn't work. And I'm not sure what else to do to fix this problem now

I've seen crashes with that crash signature ([@ JSObject::getGlobal() ]) quite a few times and it takes ages to load such a report because of all the comments attached to it (there should be a way to prevent those from downloading).
The linked bug report isn't helpful as well as it seems to assume a problem with Firebug.

Firefox continually crashes, cannot open it at all

I was using firefox fine, then it suddenly crashed, restarting it didn't do anything. Gives me the option to reset things, but it still crashes, even craches in safe mode.
Any suggestions? I am tempted to uninstall and reinstall, but I really need to back up my bookmarks first if I do this, but obviously I can't do that if I can't open firefox!
thanks

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Firefox keeps crashing upon opening

Whenever I load up firefox it fails to open and I just get the message telling me firefox has crashed.
I can open it in safe mode and I've disabled all add-ons but I still get this message on opening.
Any thoughts on how to solve it?
Thanks.

Firefox continually crashes, on opening, whilst browsing, or when static

Firefox continually crashes to the extent that it has become unusable. I have updated to the newest version but the outcome is the same. From reading articles the problem may be due to an add on - "Any Colour". On restoring the session the "Any Colour" tab also reopens. I have tried to uninstall this add on via - Tools - Add Ons but when trying to open "add ons" nothing happens, I usually get a "script error" and Firefox usually hangs/crashes. I am at a loss what to do. Although I know my way round my PC - Windows 7 64 bit version. I am not very technically aware. I can manage basic instructions but that is about my limit.

We are using OS X 10.6.8 Clients und Server. The Firefox installed was Version 23. After the Update to 24 I wasn't able to start the network user, when I switch to the local user it works fine.

Firefox Aurora crashes on opening multiple tabs

Hi all
So I've been using firefox aurora for quite some time without running into any problems, but since this morning aurora keeps crashing whenver I open 2+ or more tabs that use the flash player plugin ( e.g. Facebook and Youtube is a combo that always results in a crash ).
Now, I've noticed some threads about people having similar issues, but didn't find a solution aside from genral fixes like starting firefox in safe mode, disabling hardware acceleration, etc., none of which seem to work.
If anyone knows of any way to fix this, please post it here.
Cheers
