Firefox 3.6.8 hanging in Windows 7 X64
I have used Firefox 3.6.8 with Windows 7 X64 without problems about many months.
Misteriously Firefox stop working. It load in task manager "firefox.exe *32" but dont open the browser window.
I try to reinstall, delete profile and I try the new beta 4 with no sucess.
The only way to make Firefox working again is reinstalling the old 3.6.3 version and after a automatic update to the latest version, start to hang again.
What is happening?
Please help.
OS: Windows 7 x64 in a Desktop PC.
Thanks in advance.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Firefox 9.01 just crashes on Windows 7 x64
Firefox just stops working on my computer. I checked the crash reports and it does not show the crash.
Hey computerman88,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps! -
Firefox 4 and Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Does Firefox 4 have separate version for Windows 7 x64 Ultimate?
Hello, I my ID is durestudios from the Mozilla Firefox Chat Contributors group. Your following problem may be solved, but I will have to try to fix the problem in many ways. I'm sorry if that can bug you.
My best recommendation is to chat (It's free to use, and you don't have to download anything. All you need to do is go to:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Live+Chat?new_chat
and chat *WHEN CONTRIBUTORS ARE ONLINE*. There is a time schedule on this at the side of the page.
First: Try deleting your cookies and cache. This can be done by clicking the Tools tab of the top of your Mozilla Firefox page, then clicking 'Clear Recent History' on the box that appears, under 'Start Private Browsing'. Then a box will appear. On the top of that box, it says 'Time range to clear' and next to it has a view of options. click on that view of options (It's a box) and 5 options will appear. Click on 'Everything'. After that, on the bottom of the 'Clear Recent History' box, there is a button next to the word 'Details'. If there is a white box under the word 'Details' don't click on the button next to the word 'Details'. If there is no white box under the words 'Details', click on the box next to 'Details'. Now, un-check everything (click on the small box next to the words in the small box, if you click that small box a small check appears. When the check appears, it will be 'checked', and if there is no check in the box it will be 'UN-checked'.) except 'cookies' and 'cache'. For 'cookies' and 'cache' check them. Now press 'Clear Now'.
If this doesn't work, chat with anyone at the Firefox one-to-one direct chat. -

Firefox won't start (not even in Safe Mode) on Windows 7 x64
I am Running Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 3.6.15.
Since the day before yesterday I am unable to start Firefox. Even in Safe Mode it just won't start.
I click the Firefox icon, the mouse cursor changes to indicate the computer is doing something. After 3 seconds or so the mouse cursor again changes back to its default state. Nothing else happens.
The Task Manager in Windows shows me that an instance of firefox.exe is running, but I see no Firefox window.
Then if I again click to open Firefox, another firefox.exe instance starts, but again I see no Firefox window.
There isn't even a warning about one instance of Firefox already running.
What I have tried:
I have uninstalled Firefox, removed all the Firefox files and folders from c:\users\username\AppData\Local and Roamning. I re-downloaded the 3.6.15 installation package and re-installed.
No change.I have the same problem.
The only Firefox version working is the 64bit nightly build 6.0a1. No 32Bit version of Firefox works!. Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer all work well.
Another Problem I have in this context is, that the Firefox Installer hangs in the tidy up step - even for the nightly 64Bit version. I have to kill the setup.exe process but the Installation seems to be completed.
Before my change to Win7 64Bit I had OpenText NFS Solo 14 installed on a 32Bit Windows7 and no Problems.
Is there a solution for this problem without uninstalling OpenText NFS Solo 14?
I need the NFS Server at work. -
When I try either to close this "hanging" site/window or to return to the previous page/site, a second, pop-up window appears and asks whether I'm sure that I "want to navigate away from this page"; however, no yes-or-no option/buttons are visible (maybe they're at the ottom of the pop-up, but the pop-up's bottom margin extends below the bottom of mny screen, and I can't scroll down to it). Also, the hanging window has a "jump" tab (and that word also has been inserted in front of the "Mozilla Firefox (Private Browsing)" banner at the top of my screen. Last, toward the upper right of the window is a lozenge/button reading Install Missing Plugins" (an injunction that I ignored).
Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.

Hello - Yesterday 4 different PC's updated automatically to Firefox Version 36.0, they are all Windows 7 x64 Systems with the latest patches, one of them is a work / corporate PC running a slightly older version (34 I believe).
Since the update all of my bookmarks have been lost and seems that sync got wiped out as well. I had a few thousand bookmarks all organized in folders and they are all gone. Whenever I click on the bookmark menu item firefox will hang and eventually give me the following error with different numbers at the end of the line (varies on each system as well as the same system). See attached for an example.
Script: chrome://browser/content/places/browserPlacesViews.js
Even if I start Firefox in Safemode I get the same results / behavior (the hanging) I can't even access the bookmarks menu to try and restore them from a backup. When I do that Firefox will hang and never come back, I have to go in to task manager and end the task.
I've tried "Refreshing" at work I tried uninstalling / installing the newest as well as a version 35 version of firefox and have the same exact issue. I removed all of the plugins, I've even tried a full on reset of firefox and have had no luck whatsoever .
It appears that I have lost about 10 years of various bookmarks but seem to have a somewhat up to date copy on one system with Chrome but Firefox won't even allow me to import the bookmarks as it will just hang.
I have Malwarebytes running on 3 of the systems, it hasn't found anything, I also have Microsoft Security essentials running and did full scans of each system and haven't found anything, there isn't any kind of add on / plug in that I can see that is causing this
Please help as I am now in a huge bind at work without all of my bookmarks!!!Ok this did not resolve the issue, I downloaded the Places Maintenance Add on and ran it with all of the options selected, I also verified that this is not a permissions issue and ran chkdsk on the disk.
I am unable to make a backup of the bookmarks it just hangs and never makes the backup, I can't even export them either.
I went to the next step and renamed the places.sqlite file and restarted firefox which did restore my bookmarks from a previous backup but I still can't click on the bookmark menu option without firefox locking up .
How do I resolve this and how do I get my data back in to Sync?
If this file is corrupted does that mean that all of my linked browsers downloaded the same corrupt file from Sync? How do I resolve that, is there anyway to recover my history from any of my other PCs?
All that I did was when I was logged out of sync but want to know how I go about getting the info back in to Sync. -

Audio service hangs on Windows Server 2008R2 with Remote Desktop Services
Hello!
I have some terminal servers on Windows Server 2008R2. Users have the ability to use web browsers (IE, Firefox) with the included Flash Player, IM clients / Internet
telephony (Skype, ICQ), Windows Media Player, Office, and a specific internal software (works with MS SQL). I have the following problem: the Windows audio service hangs up that leads to hangup of all programs which use it, such as: any sites in Internet with
a flash content (in all browsers), ICQ, Skype.Even logging out the session hung when tried to lose a sound. It's impossible to stop or restart service from the services.msc the service just hang with status "restarting". To stop service I terminate svchost
process. As soon as the audio service is stopped - all programs start to work correctly (certainly without a sound). This problem appeared not suddenly - periodic hangups of programs on servers were marked long ago (more than half a year), but not directly
were connected to audio service, especially there were they rather rare (on the average once a week - two) and were corrected by server reset. The error message:
Error container , type 0
Event name: AppHangXProcB1
Reply: No data
Ident CAB: 0
Problem signature:
P1: iexplore.exe
P2: 9.0.8112.16446

P5: 131200
P6: svchost.exe:AudioClientRpc
P7: 0.0.0.0

shall suggest an idea about a sound service, but in Event Viewer has no Windows Audio events.
Recently I updated Skype to the last version 6.0.66.120. Before was 4.2.35.155 because versions 5хх on Windows2008R2 with the Remote Desctop Services actually don't
work, if users at the server more than one or two. We checked the sixth version by the test machine with the terminal environment and very were delighted to its normal working capacity. However after installation of this client on production servers it appeared
that hangups of programs on servers began to occur on the average time at an o'clock in case of an average daily load (about 20 users on one server). If you have worked one or two users, problems weren't watched. Internet search led me to the support page
Skype, where the Windows 7 x64 user faced a similar problem in the fifth version of the program. But the solutions proposed by the support team does not help me. In addition, I found the advice to disable enhancements in the properties of the playback device,
but it is impossible for the "Remote Audio" device.
At the moment, on servers where I updated the Skype, I disabled the audio service. If within a reasonable time, I do not find a solution, I will have to revert
to an older version of Skype, but I would like to solve the problem completely.Enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting
To allow audio and video playback when connecting to a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2, you must enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting. The Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting is located
in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection and can be configured by using either Local Group Policy Editor or the Group Policy Management
Console (GPMC).
For more information about Group Policy settings for Remote Desktop Services, see the Remote Desktop Services Technical Reference (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=138134).
Is this policy applied? Refer:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759165.aspx
Also, have you tried update the audio device driver for this terminal server? -
Firefox crashes when opening a new window
Firefox opens normally and runs properly -- until I close all its windows. When zero windows are present, and I return to Firefox and ask for a new window, Firefox hangs. To resolve the problem I must Force Quit the app, which generates a crash report to Apple. Occasionally Firefox has crashed on its own and generated a crash report to Mozilla, but this is rare. I have tried disabling all add-ons, but that had no effect.
As long as there is at least one Firefox window open, the app functions normally. This problem only occurs when going from zero windows to one window.Try to repair the disk permissions:
*http://thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Firefox 3.6.3 hangs up after some use. Can't find any specific site or action that causes this. Links w/in page and menu's such as most visited, latest headlines, and links like utube, google continue to work. Drop down menus (i.e. File, Edit, Tools, Help)/ will not open and I must use Alt+Cntrl+Del to get out of the page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 1 monthStart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit") -

in Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed
Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.
