Firefox 10.0.2esr closes or crashes on my Windows XP PC with AMD Phenom x6 1100T

Upgraded from FF3.6.28( had no problems with 1100T) and now FF10.0.2 keeps closing or crashes. Identified the problem to be more than 4 core processors with FF. I have developed a workaround, but would like know what FF release fixes this issue ?

I wasn't aware that Firefox had a problem with more than 4 cores in a processor. How did you make the connection?
If you type or paste about:crashes in the address bar and press Enter, you may find some crash IDs. You can click those to link up with Firefox's crash analysis server and see whether any bug reports are associated.
If those are inscrutable (I often find them impossible to unravel), you could post some of the crash IDs here for volunteers to review.
Unrelated to your CPU, Firefox's use of hardware graphics acceleration can cause problems due to driver incompatibilities. Could you try disabling it?
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, is stability improved?
Finally, 10.0.2 is quite old now. For your security, you really do need to upgrade sooner rather than later.

That is a problem with an AVG extension (toolbar).

Is there a way to close VI's nicely when Window is closed with "X"?

Is there a way to close VI's nicely when Window is closed with "X"?
The VI is the GUI for an automated test console and I would like to save a state when it is closed to allow for the user to reopen the VI and the GUI is the same. At the very least I would like to make sure the equipment is placed into a safe state.
-Nate

Dennis, I could not find the VI you mentioned. How do you search on a vi's name in Labview? I even tried with Windows Explorer search and didn't find it.
What I did find was that you need to use the "Panel Close?" filter event to catch clicking on the X, and the "Application Instance Close?" filter event to catch clicking on the menu bar File - Exit. The attached vi does just this.

I would like to know if Firefox 7 will work on Windows xp sp3, with AMD Athlon64 ?

I have a desk top that has the older version of firefox 3.6 on it and I would like to update and want to know if the ff 7 will work on my version of windows xp, sp3 with an AMD Athlonn64 instead of a Pentium4. I believe I have plenty of memory I believe.

I'm not sure about the graphics card driver, the pc I am referring to is 4 years old. Everything works great, but the ff 3.6 didn't configure right the last update and can't open my email.
Thanks for your reply!

iTunes64Setup.exe, even after multiple times of uninstalling and reinstalling with even a fresh download crashes with the message:
"iTunes has stopped working. A problem [unspecified] caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you IF a solution is available."

Firefox crashing when i wanna open or close a tab or a window, also while wanna open any page, now what to do for solving the problem?

Disable McAfee siteadvisor and check the problem still persist or not?

After rebooting or starting my computer, I'll open Firefox and it will close itself (no crash report).

When I open it again it works fine until I restart the computer again, and then it does the same thing. Any ideas why or what I should do to fix it?

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
#Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Firefox 6.0.2 keeps on crashing, problems with ajax calls

Hi,
I am using the jquery form plugin to make ajax calls on my sites, when i invoke the plugin and have Firebug open I get this message:
Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsISupports.QueryInterface]
[Break On This Error] callback.data = aElem....getComputedStyle(callback.data, '');

Firebug also tells me that it's limit has been reached 1571 entries shown.
Can someone tell me why this is happening; is there a problem with Firefox that will be fixed. It's not happening in IE9

Firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. What can I do?

After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+crashes
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

When in the middle of doing work Firefox just crashes, A sorry window pups up asking if user wants to Reload the same session or start a new session. This never happen with previous versions.

Since I updated Firefox to the latest version it crashes a lot and although I can reload the session I was working with it is annoying and time consuming. I always keep my computer 100% updated and virus free as I always run Norton. I also have 4 G of RAM and 500 G disk drive so it is not lack of RAM and never keep more that 3 windows open at the same time.

(1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
(2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.

When i use firefox my system automatically closes and dumping memory starts

when i use firefox my system automatically closes and dumping memory starts. This problem is not with interner explorer nor with google crome

Firefox sometimes uses more memory (RAM) than it should. This can make Firefox slower, and in extreme cases, it can even make Firefox crash. This article describes how to make Firefox use less memory.

Firefox 4.0.1 crashes on startup (windows xp)

Since I upgraded to the new firefox (4.0.1) it crashes on startup.
(By crash, i mean the mozilla crash reporter appears and goes no further)
I am running windows xp.
Here is what i have tried so far:
- uninstalled & reinstalled firefox
- restart in safe mode (causes crash reporter to appear too)
- uninstalled google desktop

Only I upgraded to firefox 4 while it was in beta and never had any problems like this. It took the final version to have problems. I truly miss my Firefox 4.
it crashes on start up with tabs open. sometimes i can tell it not to open my tabs and it'll run until I open up some tab that causes things to crash. but once it crashes it wont run until i close all the tabs. but on other occassions it just crashes.
thanks

Why does watching YouTube videos in Firefox cause my video driver to crash, but I can watch the same video in IE8 without a problem?

For the past few days, I suddenly can't watch any YouTube videos in Firefox without having the video driver crash every few seconds. The screen freezes too, and I have a hard time getting my cursor to the "X" to close the tab. One time it was so bad my computer crashed and rebooted.
I am able to watch the same videos in Internet Explorer 8 without any problems. I am also able, as far as I know, to watch videos in Firefox on other sites like CNN.com without any problems.
My computer information below looks correct. It's a Gateway Model#MX6453, my video driver is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150.

I fixed this by disabling hardware acceleration. YouTube videos seem to work fine now.
This link was provided in an other YouTube problem: Flash "Display settings" window:
[http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html]
I had to go to a site other than YouTube that had flash content (like a video on CNN.com), right-clicked on the flash video, selected "Settings" on the menu, then unchecked "Enable hardware acceleration" on the display tab. For good measure I closed Firefox and opened it again. Since then no more driver errors. (crosses fingers)

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
