Firefox 36.0.4 randomly crashes without warning and especially when mutiple windows and tabs are open-never happened earlier, very frequent now.

I am currently researching for an article to write and consequently have many PDFs open simultaneously. I use the Foxit PDF plug in.
However, I've been doing this for very long now and have never faced such crashes where all my windows close without a warning despite there being no other processes running. I get no warning whatsoever. I usually also have YouTube and Gmail open as well. The crashes have happened far too frequently in the past 4-5 days for me to ignore it and assume it to be a rare fault.

enter the menu go to help or ? and start with addons disabled. if it still doesnt work follow this description https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-troubleshoot-prevent-and-get-help

Firefox 4 freezes when more than 3 tabs are open, it is using 1Gb of memory

Win7 x64, Intel i5, 4Gb RAM, ATI Radeon 5700 series, all drivers up to date.
I downloaded Firefox 4 today. I had 3 tabs open (two forums and 1 Google) I clicked on a Google article and Firefox froze. I opened Task Manager and closed it down. This happened 4 times. I started a new session, opened the 2 forums and put the same search into Google - it happened again.
I uninstalled FFX4 and reverted to IE for my research. I then re-installed FFX3.6.16 and normality was restored.

When more than two tabs are open (no matter the content), FireFox (3.6 and 4.0) slows down and the CPU usage value on the Task Manager shoots up to 100%.

The Memory usage also shoots up to about 475k MB. This has happened over two computers, the first being a stock Dell Inspiron 1620 with Windows XP and this one being a stock HP G72 with Windows 7. I used a data transfer cable to transfer all settings from the first computer to this computer. The problem persisted through 2 updates (3.5>3.6>4.0). The only FF add-ons I have downloaded are NoScript and AdBlocker; I also have several unused toolbars downloaded from various other applications (Yahoo, Norton, and AVG) and frequently use the Google toolbar, which in an unrelated matter stopped saving my searches or suggesting searches while typing at the 4.0 upgrade. If you need any more information, I'd be happy to post it.

CRASH REPORT
Product: Adobe Photoshop CC
Application running on:
Apple iMac 3.5GHz late 2013 / Mavericks 10.9.2
Application crashes without warning. Symptom: Drop down boxes go blank white (I shot screen captures of blank drop down boxes) and application stops working, actions for appox. 10 minutes preceding crash are lost. Force Quit required to quit unresponsive / frozen application and then Restart of Adobe Photoshop CC
Crash Frequency: Three time in this work day, 5.6.14 Once a day sporadically (approximately 10 times) in past two weeks.
Other applications running at time of crashes: Adobe Bridge - NOT effected. Computer was on line with no browsers open.
Otherwise computer continued to operate normally.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop CC for approximately two months.

Thanks, Chris,
I hope that this is the solution.
re: "And a crash report without an actual crash report (a long, detailed text document available from the crash report dialog), is not all that useful" :
I did in deed submit a homemade crash report.
I would have submitted "an actual Crash Report " and sooner, but: When this event occurs. there are NO dialog boxes. All frozen / blank. No possibility of "actual crash report" !
Thank you!

SOLUTION to iPhoto 6 crashing without warning during library upgrade

THE PROBLEM
The problem which I and some others in this forum were facing was that iPhoto 6 would CRASH WITHOUT WARNING halfway through the process of updating our previous iPhoto 5 library. This is a different problem from the permissions issues which some other users have faced, which iPhoto 6 does warn you about.
THE EXPLANATION
After trial and error, I concluded that there was a corrupted photo in my library that iPhoto was choking on during the upgrading process. Unfortunately, there was no easy way to identify which of my 3000+ photos this was. Hence, the solution was to laboriously test my library year-by-year, to isolate the year in which the problematic photo was hiding. This meant creating individual copies of my iPhoto library, one for each year, and then test-upgrading each individual copy. Each individual year upgraded fine, except for 2004. Thus, I could deduce that the problematic photo was in 2004. I then created a new copy of my iPhoto 5 library, containing all photos except for those in 2004. It upgraded fine. I then manually dragged my photos from 2004 back into iPhoto. Thus, all my comments/ratings/keywords for other years were intact, and I only had to re-do 2004.
THE STEPS
In order to use this solution, you must have a backup of your iPhoto 5 library. It also helps if you can install a fresh copy of Mac OS X 10.4 and iPhoto 6 (SIX) on another partition. The steps are:
1. Reinstall/'downgrade' to iPhoto 5 (this requires deleting the iPhoto 6 application and also all iPhoto receipts in the /Library/Receipts folder, before reinstalling from iLife '05)
2. Create multiple copies of your iPhoto 5 library backup (the entire iPhoto Library folder from your iPhoto 5), and title the backup copies 'Early Photos', '2003', '2004', '2005' and '2006'.
3. By holding down Option while launching iPhoto 5, open each copy of your library, and delete photos from each copy so that only one year of photos remains in each copy, i.e. you should have one library containing only 'Early Photos' (pre-2003), one containing only 2003 photos, etc.
4. Test-upgraded each individual 'annual' library on another installation of iPhoto 6. Those that can be upgraded are fine. The one that crashes obviously contains the corrupted photo.
5. Go back and create a fresh copy of your iPhoto 5 library, and open it in iPhoto 5. Delete only the photos from the problematic year, leaving all the rest behind. Before deleting the photos, drag them into a folder on the desktop, so that you can re-import them later.
6. Now re-install iPhoto 6 (the end is near, trust me) and open the fresh copy of your iPhoto 5 library. Upgrade it. You will now have a upgraded library, minus all the photos from the excluded year.
7. You should now be able to re-import photos from the excluded year, by dragging them into iPhoto 6. However, this may mean reintroducing the corrupted photo into your library. I really can't help you beyond this - re-import at your own risk, and always keep backups.
8. Enjoy (after much frustration).
ALTERNATIVES
It isn't necessary to test your library year-by-year. For example, if you only have photos from one year, then you'd have to find some other way to break your library into logical chunks, and test each chunk using the procedure above. Again, the chunk that crashes during upgrading contains the corrupted photo. It's really up to you how finely you want to sub-divide and test your iPhoto 5 library, to isolate the corrupted photo.
(P.S. Really, this should be addressed by Apple. It is murder and really tedious to do this, and I suspect it would be difficult for anyone not familiar with Mac OS X, and also difficult if you don't have multiple partitions/drives to install separate copies of iPhoto 5 and iPhoto 6.

Thanks for your help. It should work with some iPhoto libraries, but unfortunately not with mine.
iPhoto was crashing, so I found the guilty album, deleted it, retried: but it crashes on another album, etc. I think I have more than one corrupted picture/album, so the only solution to make iPhoto complete the update was to remove 90% of my pictures... not a real solution

Crashing without warning

Hello. I posted this in another forum but this seems more appropriate: My powerbook is having problems that seem to be either related to Mac OS X kernel problems or battery problems.
The battery runs for a good two and a half hours, but claims to still have 87% power. Suddenly, the computer sleeps with no warning. When I wake it, the battery says 0% and a grey box appears saying I have to hold down the power button and restart. If I am in the middle of working, I lose that data.
Upon restarting, I get this as part of the report:
Unresolved kernel trap(cpu 0): 0x300 - Data access DAR=0x00000000217C3DB0 PC=0x00000000002FE1B8

There is more but I am baffled. I've tried resetting the PRAM and resetting the Power Manager by pressing the button under the keyboard. I don't know why the battery would claim to be 87% charged (confirmed by coconutBattery) when it appears to be empty. And I don't know why it suddenly crashes without warning. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi, arvin. The "abrupt crash," when it happens and doesn't lead to a KP, is not really a crash, but just the Powerbook putting itself to sleep due to a low battery. That's normal, although of course there should be a low-battery warning message a few minutes before it happens. The disappearance of the low-battery warning is a classic symptom of a very old, tired battery or one that hasn't been calibrated properly — but your battery isn't very old and tired if it's still giving you 2.5 hours of working time. Thus the suggestion to recalibrate. If that isn't helping with the false battery-charge readout problem, I can only surmise that it's because the KPs you've suffered have disrupted the orderly conduct of battery-related business.
I think the mouse-related KP is a separate problem, even if it has consequences for the battery-related problem. There are still, after all these years of USB-equipped computers, many USB devices that just don't "get" system sleep: they either foul it up or are fouled up by it, or both. I'm surprised to hear of a MacAlly product that seems to be in that category, but that's what it sounds like to me. Have you described the problem to MacAlly's tech support people? If not, see what they have to say.

Labview 8 Crashes without warning

Hello All,
Have any Labview 8 users out there experienced the package suddenly crash without warning?
I've had it happen several times now (at least twice in one month ....with approx 5hrs day/5day/week usage).
Last time it happened I was simply moving components around in a very simple VI when it suddenly exited without warning (i.e. all Labview tasks disappeared.....and I lost my work!)
The problem doesn’t seem to be specific to any one particular VI or its contents. I can’t reproduce the problem either.
Needless to say, I've not any other app. crash the same way on this PC. (Brief System Summary below)
Typically, I only have 2-3 other apps running (e.g. Outlook, Windows Explorer etc) when it happens.
When you restart Labview, it warns that it didn't close properly last time & points you in the direction of the log file.
I've posted one sample log file to NI, but they couldn't explain the cause (simply suggested de-installing, re-installing or, installing on another PC)
I have de-installed & reinstalled ....but yesterday, the problem occurred yet again.
Will try on another PC …..if/when I get spare time!
Anyone else with similar experiences??
Regards all,
Paul Towle.

Hi,
The suggestions so far seem quite reasonable. It would be interesting if this problem is reproduceable on another machine. Perhaps you could attach the log file for the next occurance and keep us informed about whether it is occuring on another PC. Did you encounter any problems during installation of LV8, perhaps something wrong with the installation file, scratch on cd? I gather LabVIEW crashes when in the development environment and not necessarily during runtime of your VI? Are you performing any data acquisition or doing any kind of instrument control? Please ensure you stick to the recomended software installation order i.e. LabVIEW first and then Drivers. It would be nice to know what the CPU / other resource usage is like at the time it crashes, although probably not doable because difficult to predict the next crash. It is a good idea to monitor which applications are open at the same time and monitor their activity but will inevitably be difficult to track if there is any conflict. Does LabVIEW slow down before the crash ... or is it a instantanous and unexpected?

Fireworks CS5: Silent crash without warning

I'm running Win XP SP3 on a pretty decent system. Every so often, FW CS5 will crash without warning. There seems to be no pattern to the crashes. I can be using the Select tool, applying a filter, or choosing a tool from the palette. The system pauses for a second, and then Fireworks disappears. No error message. Nothing.
I save pretty often, but since FW doesn't do auto-backups, I often lose a few minutes of work if I haven't saved recently. Since upgrading to CS5 I've probably lost 5-10 hours of work total. 10 minutes here and there adds up. I know. Whaaa. My fault for not saving every time I perform an action. Or is it? Saving a large file every 30 seconds can be time-consuming, and disrupts my workflow. Illustrator doesn't do this, and InDesign doesn't do it. (In fact, I can't remember Illustrator crashing for several versions now.)
Is there a patch yet for FW CS5? I can't find one. Is there a log somewhere where crashes are recorded? Nothing shows up in the XP Event Viewer.
I actually still have Fireworks MX 2004 installed on my machine, and I use that about half the time. Maybe I should just uninstall CS5 and use the old Macromedia version all the time. CS5 adds some nice features but it's causing me to lose work, and therefore time, and therefore money.

Seriously, I can't be the only one who is experiencing this problem.
I found a CS5 service log but it's not that helpful. The time does match the most recent crash, though.

Firefox crashes when i clear recent history if multiple tabs are open, is anyone else experiencing this?

Firefox crashes (hangs, requires me to force close, and then doesn't actually clear the history) when i clear recent history if multiple tabs are open, i do this so i only lose the history and can maintain the tabs i want for the next session.
I have always done this in Versions 3 without an issue, since moving to Version 4 it happens semi regularly. the more tabs i have open the higher the likelyhood of an error
is anyone else experiencing this?

This happens to me too. OS winXP home.

Firefox doesnt load an image when *lots* of tabs are open

Hi,
An old website I created has a problem displaying a very large background image when *loads* of tabs are open (which makes me think its something to do with memory).
An example page of the site in question is:
http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/about-us
The white background image (which is super large for reasons not to discuss now) will show fine when, say, up to 10 tabs are open. However, if you have loads and loads of tabs open, this image doesn't display/render (even though firebug says it has).
Some info about the image:
http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/sites/all/themes/southbank-centre/images/template-3-col.png
79.6kb
940px by 23000px (super huge I know)
The problem is when it doesnt load, the copy is hard to read (as you can imagine).
This doesnt seem unique to my computer. It happens to other peoples firefox browsers (and they have slightly different versions and different plug-ins).

I'm not having any problems on that page with over 80 tabs open and the number of tabs shouldn't matter.
Did you check if you can reproduce it with a clean new profile without extensions?
Start 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).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Safari warning before quitting when multiple tabs are open?

I'm a rather clumsy typist who often uses Apple+Tab to toggle through my open programs. This works great 99% of the time, but that other 1% is rather frustrating considering that the Q key is right next to Tab.
Apple guys, please implement a pop up/drop down warning when attempting to quit Safari when multiple tabs are open (or at least the option to enable or disable it). I use this browser for work and often have many tabs open, so accidentally quitting the browser only impedes on my workday. I know I should be more accurate, but isn't that what part of progress is? The empowerment of laziness? =)
Thanks for your time, and hopefully we see this included in soon-to-come upgrades!
Oh, and if this feature is already available, feel free to show me the way.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

jefftovar,
I created and modified the Safari Keyboard Shortcut
Quit (⌘+Q) command to (⌘ControlQ) by using System
Preferences...>Keyboard Shortcuts.
;~)
Great suggestion! But, the default Quit (⌘+Q) command is still in effect. I've looked about in trying to deactivate it, but can't seem to find it. How did you get rid of yours?

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags. I've tried everything (e.g virus, defrag, I've created a new profile in "run", etc). I've had my router/line etc all checked and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help as it's driving me nuts.

I have the exact same problem.
Not only does it load pages very slowly, sometimes the page will stop for a good 45 seconds and stop loading, only to finish it much later.
Something is wrong with Firefox 12, it shouldn't be this slow.
How is that each version is progressively worse than the one before it?.
Stop releasing so many versions Mozilla, release one that works and build from there.

After Installing Bitdefender 2011 Firefox is very slow and worse when multiple tabs are open

Firefox performs very poorly after I installed Bitdefender 2011. There was no such problem with Bitdefender 2009. When multiple tabs are open, switching between them is not possible until tab contents are completed.

As ninjafox says, the problem seems to be the BitDefender Anti-phishing Toolbar. Disabling this through Tools -> Add-ons and restarting Firefox seems to fix the problem for that session. However, the problem then reappears when the computer is restarted, presumably because BitDefender re-enables the toolbar.
Another way of disabling all add-ons when starting Firefox is to hold down Shift while clicking on the icon (Windows only I think - at least doesn't work on Ubuntu for me).

Firefox 36.0.4 randomly crashes without warning and especially when mutiple windows and tabs are open-never happened earlier, very frequent now.
