FIREFOX 4 CRASHES WHEN I USE THE "BROUSE" MODE TO SELECT A PROGRAM TO OPEN A PARTICULAR FILE TYPE

USING TOOLS-OPTIONS- APPLICATION BRINGS UP THE PANEL TO SELECT PROGRAMS FOR EACH FILE TYPE. SELECTING "USE OTHER" BRINGS ANOTHER PANEL WITH VARIOUS OPTIONS. NONE OF THESE ARE APPROPRIATE FOR MY SITUATION. AS SOON AS I CLICK "BROWSE" FIREFOX CRASHES. THE SAME THING HAPPENS IF I SELECT AN ATTACHMENT FROM AN EMAIL AND TRY TO CHANGE THE ASSOCIATED PROGRAM BY USING "BROWSE" TO FIND AN APPROPRIATE PROGRAM.

You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
See also http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml - What is Java Quick Starter (JQS)? What is the benefit of running JQS? - 6.0
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Addons -> Extensions<br />
Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Photoshop crashes when I use the marquis tool.

    Photoshop crashes when I use the marquee tool. As soon as I make a selection it crashes my computer (every time!) by either rendering the screen black or sometimes all white. I have to force shut down and restart. I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS6. I am not in a position to update OS at this time. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem? It's extremely time-consuming and infuriating.
    Here's the crash report, if anyone is able to make sense of this, I'd sure appreciate knowing what the problem is.

    That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver).  Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
    Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
    Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape.  Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

  • Why is my adobe photoshop trying to crash when i use the puppet warp tool?

    As far as I'm concerned this is a ridiculous problem that is so basic - it should not happen for the price Adobe charges.

  • PS CS 5.1 crashing when I use the Quick Select took in the neg format

    I am using PSCS5.1 and when I use the "quick select" tool and use the "Alt" key to turn it to the negitive so that I can cut out stuff I do not want to select I get a message that say's "Adobe PSCS has stopped working" and it closes down the whole program! I'm using a PC with Vista.
    HELP...PLEASE....

    Theresa, it could be helpful if you'd go look in your Windows Application log for error entries corresponding to the Photoshop crashes.
    Click Start, type event viewer into the search box, and click Event Viewer when it comes up.
    Navigate into Windows Logs > Application, and look for red Error entries.
    When you find the one(s) for the Photoshop crashes, look at the info in the General tab specifically for faulting module.  List the name(s) immediately following faulting module here.

  • PSE 9 crashes when I use the Spot Healing Brush tool

    When I use the Spot Healing Brush tool PSE9 crashs completly. Is it a bug? In the older version 8 I had no problem.
    I use WIN XP SP2, Intel Pentium 4, 3 Ghz, GPU: NVIDIA Geforce FX 5700, DirectX 9.0c 4.09.00.0904.
    I tried it also on another PC with WIN7 and it caused the same problem.
    Thanks for any adivse

    I know this post doesn't really help you guys, but I'm also using PSE9 on a Win7 Intel Quad Core Dell computer and the spot healing brush works fine. I only offer this post to indicate that it apparently is not a universal bug in PSE9. Perhaps an Adobe expert can jump in here and help. I can only offer that in Preferences I do have the RAM dialed up to 80%, but I don't think this is related to your problem.

  • When I updated my iPad to iOS 6.1, it crashes when i use the keyboard. What should I do?

    Hi, when I updated to iOS 6.1, I noticed that I crash sometimes when I use the keyboard. Otherwise it's fine. What should I do?

    I was on the phone earlier with apple care for some questions regarding safari, and I mentioned to him about all the problems people are have with the 6.1 upgrade, and asked what could they do if their ipad is out of warranty. He said anyone with an ipad that has problems with a upgrade, has up to 30 after it was released to call apple support for help at no cost.
    This is the route I would take next. let us know how you make out.

  • InDesign crashes when I use the clipboard too much

    Wow, this site is truly terrible.
    Anyway.
    I am experiencing a crash in InDesign when I use the clipboard too much.
    I have a habit of hitting "Ctrl + C" more than once, and this appears to trigger a race condition that causes a crash.
    It's reproducable but doesn't happen every time.

    TomMettam wrote:
    Wow, this site is truly terrible.
    What's that supposed to mean?
    Are you saying you hit Ctrl-C more than once without changing the selection? I don't tend to do that, so I don't know if it's a problem, but I've NEVER had that error using the clipboard in ID. What version of Windows are you running? You seem to have ID CC (dark interface is a clue), but is it 32- or 64-bit?

  • Firefox crashes when I sue the search box in the middle of the screen but is OK if I use the top search box ?

    When I try and use the search box in the centre of the screen Firefox crashes and try's to send error reports before closing down completely. However if I use the search box at the top of the screen everything works OK, additionally if I use the bookmarks everythign is OK.
    I am using a MAC computer OS Lion

    If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
    Reset the <b>browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone</b> pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the <b>about:config</b> page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    #Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar
    #Type in the Filter bar: mstone
    #Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
    #Close and restart Firefox
    If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

  • Firefox crashes because it use the whole memory

    I'm using a Composite Application Framework, that contains portlet that refresh its data every 10 seconds. That cause Firefox to "eat" memory. It reserve the whole memory and after that it crash. I think that this happens because of JavaScript caching, and this framework changes often the IDs of the controls and paths for accessing the JavaScripts. Can you propose me some workaround or could you please fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance
    == Crash ID(s) ==
    0ae618e3-a1e3-4e48-8f0d-5805e2100721

    If you mean that I have to read solutions there - I did it, but none of it does not gave me answer why Firefox use the whole memory when only one web page containing one portlet is opened. I tried to get help from the crash id web page - unfortunately I can't open that page. Maybe I have to report another question about sending the errors, because after that crash it seems that no data is send to firefox server

  • Firefox crashes when printing from the web.

    Mac user with OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). Have had repeated problems with Firefox in all versions crashing when trying to print from the web or using print preview before printing. Currently have Frefox v3.6.16 for MAC. Am printing to an HP 1315 AIO and HP 1210 AIO printers. Very irritating! Can copy paste web stuff to Word and print OK. Problem went away with OS 10.6 and Firefox 4 on my new MAC.

    Inconclusive Evidence, I have tried all of your recommendations with no success. I can print with any other applications, just not Firefox, so I know it is not a problem with my driver. I'm stuck as to what to do at this point. Any other tips? Thanks for your help!

    I've run various virus scans, and tried uninstalling all Flash stuff.
    IE and Chrome both work, but Really slow compared to how fast Firefox ran (when it was working,) so I'd like to have it back.
    I get no real error information, but what I do is below...

    Hello Simonmmm, any luck if you boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Safe mode with network support ](press F8 on the boot screen) and check firefox again.
    (If works in Windows Safe mode then probably you have problem with other software, like security software or maybe a system driver, that is running on your computer).
    thank you
