Firefox 3.6.15 hangs almost everytime I close the program, any fix soon?

It started with the update to 3.6.14 and worsen with 3.6.15 now almost every time I close Firefox it hangs and I have to end manually the process. I have the same problem on 3 different PC running Windows 7 32-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, and Windows Vista, and the all have different Add-ins, and I did not have that problem with 3.6.13

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Photoshop CS4 crashes everytime I close the program

Although Photoshop CS4 is running fine on my 2008 Imac 2.8 ghz, when I close the program it crashes, before I reinstall it, is there anything I can do to hopefully fix the issue?
Of note here: I have some Onone software plug ins installed, its weird that Onone shows up twice in the toolbar? Should only be one there.

If none of the above works (all excellent suggestions) try looking for a corrupted saved workspace. That's known to generate a crash message upon quitting Photoshop.
Naturally, this assumes you have tried trashing preferences to no avail.

AFTER I DOWNLOADED FIREFOX 4, EVERYTIME I OPEN THE PROGRAM I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE- TYPE ERROR:COMPONENT.CLASSES[CID] IS UNDEFINED. HOW DO I CORRECT THIS?

After upgrading to firefox 4, everytime I open the program, I get the following message, "TYPE ERROR:conponentclasses undefined." How do I correct this?

That indicates that you are using an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

When I exit firefox it closes the program but it gets stuck in memory so when I open it again i have to kill the process in task manager

When I exit firefox it closes the program but it gets stuck in memory so when I open it again i have to kill the process in task manager, and it can be right away or I can come back a few hours later and its still stuck in task manager, I am tired of having to kill the processes every time I use firefox.

Hanging at exit is most often caused by an Extension or a Plugin.
'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?

[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : Firefox has stopped working - close the program and check online for a solution - or - close ..

Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : "Firefox has stopped working" - "close the program and check online for a solution" - or - "close the program" this happens TWICE every time I try to start firefox. Eventually after a random number of tries firefox will start normaly. I am useing firefox 19.0.2 now bit I belive it started when I upgraded to firefox 18 but am not sure, it might have been when I upgraded to firefox 19 ... but it has been happening for a very long time and I cannot find any helpfule solutions online.
I have tried a Clean reinstall but it did not help.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. 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 Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in 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.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

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!

Just purchased and installed photoshop and everytime i try to open it it says "windows has encountered a problem and must close the program" anyone else have this problem?

I have just purchased the photography package on my windows 8 computer and everytime I open photoshop an error message pops up saying that windows has encountered a problem and needs to close the program. I am really frustrated that this is happening after I purchased this plan and would like to be able to use the product I have purchased

+1 to Chris' assessment.
Keep in mind that it's your responsibility to provide a problem-free working environment on your computer for Photoshop, and system software (such as display drivers) can have problems.
Look in your Windows Event Logs (specifically, your Application Log) for the info requested above on the specific crashes.

I cannot open my firefox broswer. The message box appeared that said a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Under that there are debug and close program buttons.

JackieMars71 I would recommend reviewing your installation log files to determine if there are any errors during the installation process. You can find information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

Firefox 4 vbc.exe System error - Programt can't start because mozsqlite3.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem

Ever since I install Firefox 4 (4.0.1), every time I boot up my computer I get this system error
vbc.exe - System Error
The program can't start because mozsqlite3.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
I tried updating my plugins and tried reinstalling Firefox 4 but no good. The error doesn't seem to cause any problem but it's just extremely annoying seeing it pops up every time I turn on my computer. The error goes away if I reinstall Firefox 3.6
Here is a picture of it. Any help is appreciated!

Firefox has not been saving any of my preferences when I close the program in addition to resetting to a manual proxy that does not connect every time I re-open the program

For a while now, every time I close the program and later reopen it, it attempts to utilize a proxy I didn't set for it. It does not connect and ends up not going anywhere. I then change the settings to no proxy and continue...however this is very irritating. Additionally, I cannot seem to change my homepage permanently, so I believe the issue involves Firefox not saving information when it closes. Not sure how to fix that though, as I have tried reinstalling it with little effect.

See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

Open a page by Firefox 5.0 then copy some texts. Close the Firefox. Try to paste texts somewhere else. Firefox can't keep data alive in windows XP clipboard...

As I've already asked
Why Firefox 5.0 can't keep data alive in Windows XP pro + SP3 ?
Just test it as follows:
1- Open a page by Firefox 5.0
2- Copy some texts
3- Close the Firefox 5.0
4- Try to paste texts somewhere else (notepad, etc.)
There is no data in clipboard if you close the Firefox 5.0

'''''"I created a second profile called Shopping. I imported the extensions from my default profile into it."'''''
If you used Sync to do that "import", disable Sync for at least one of those Profiles.
</blockquote>
Thank you for your suggestion. I have Sync enabled for all the profiles. To my surprise, however, Sync was of no use in getting Default's extension collection into Shopping. For that I had to resort to the article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox.
I will try disabling Sync on Shopping.

I have an active subscription but everytime I open the program it says trial expired. I have installed, reinstalled, and installed again. I have also installed the windows registry patch.

I have an active subscription but everytime I open the program it says trial expired. I have installed, reinstalled, and installed again. I have also installed the windows registry patch.
It wouldn't install for nearly 5 times I tried to do this. Now it's finally installed again but it won't budge past the trial version. I click BUY NOW but then it says "error you already have a subscription" then it times out and just stays on the Trial Expired page.

Hey kushlar,
Please log out from your Adobe application and login again.
Once you launch Acrobat and get error saying trial expired, you will find an option saying 'license this software'.
Select this option and enter your credentials.
Now check and let me know.
