Firefox 4 Crashes while toggling between multiple open profiles (Firefox has stopped working)

So this problem just started occurring since I upgraded from firefox 3.6.5 to firefox4.
Sometimes I need to have two separate firefox profiles open at the same time. This is accomplished by making a second shortcut to your firefox.exe with the switches -P NewProfileName -no-remote (e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P new -no-remote).
With firefox4 the second profile opens fine, but as soon as I select first profile it crashes with the windows error message "Firefox has stopped working." It doesn't send any crash reports to Mozilla, so unfortunately I can't give you any crash IDs (I checked about:crashes and there's no entries for the pertinent dates).
I'm currently using windows vista.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

It was fixed! You'll need to either wait for Firefox 4.0.1, or if it is really bugging you, get a pre-release (nightly) version today:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-2.0/
Anything 02 April 2011 or later should work in the above directory.
Here was the bug report that led to the fix of the problem, if interested:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639885
Crash occurred on Hulu Pogo and Blip (and other sites), but applying the pre-release April 2nd update fixes it.
Good luck!

The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working suddenly. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

Uninstall 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.

Is there a solution?

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Windows Connection Manager Profile Installer Has Stopped Working

Hi all, I thank all who can help me with this problem beforehand and will do so after.
I am an IT technician at a university in South Africa. I am trying to install a custom made VPN program that works perfectly on every other machine but not this one laptop.
It is a Lenovo G580 laptop running Windows 7. Every time I try to install the VPN i get the error message that Microsoft Connection Manager Profile Installer has stopped working.
I have made sure all the updates are installed.
I have done disk check.
I have done System File Check.
I have done Windows Repair.
I have coppied the cmstp.exe and ole32.dll files from one windows to the problem computer.
I have taken permission of both the above mentioned files.
I have done anti-virus scans and anti-malware scans.
I have tested that other applications(not VPN's) install correctly.
I have tested that the VPN installed correctly on other computers and pulled a new one to make sure the application was not corrupted.

Hi,
Generally speaking, this error can be caused by one or several of the below factors:
a. The dll file is deleted accidentally from your system
b. The dll file is damaged due to virus or spyware infection
c. improper software removal
d. The dll file was overwritten by an incompatible version.
e. Outdated hardware drivers
f. Too many invalid/obsolete registry entries.
g. Related registry entries is corrupted.
I would like to suggest you try the following steps to check the results:
a. Do a system restore to undo recent system changes. If the error is just caused by the file getting corrupted or damaged, performing a system restore would help you to get a fresh copy back and also fix the related error well at the same time.
b. Update the drivers for hardware devices and install any available Windows updates.
c. Test in a new user account. If it works, please refer to Fix a corrupted user profile.
Fix a corrupted user profile:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
If the individual troubleshooting advice above is unsuccessful, performing a startup repair or repair installation should restore all Windows DLL files to their working versions.
Hope it helps.

The Open GL acceleration has stopped working

Hi,
I would really appreciate some guidance on this.
The other day I ran updates to 10.0.5 adding a couple of bug fixers, nothing unusual. However when I opened After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 it told me that the system had reverted back to using software acceleration only, the Mercury playback GPU acceleration had stopped working. Ever since then my work has been crashing and every project I open tells me that Open GL and the Mercury Playback Engine will only be able to use software because it doesn't work on my machine. I am using a high spec Macbook Pro 15 with a GeForce GT 650M, I know this card supports acceleration because I've used it to great advantage for about 9 months.
Thanks so much if anyone can shed any light on this problem.

Hi EmmaBarham,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions.
Please connect your phone to Nokia Suite, once connected you'll be able to sync your phone's data to your PC.
When you're done syncing the data, I would also advice making a back up via Tools>Back up. This way you can get your phone repaired and simply restore it back onto the phone via Tools > Restore in Nokia Suite once the phone has been fixed.
You can find your nearest Nokia Care Point here. Let me know how you get on!

So I have Photoshop CS5 extended and Im using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260m 1gb video card. A Asus G60Vx laptop. 4gb of ram.
So heres the story. When Im drawing on a picture it could be from 5 to 45 minutes of drawing photoshop will all of the sudden crash with the error saying "Adobe photoshop cs5 has stopped working" and i have to close the program losing all of the progress in my drawing.
I have called and talked to 3 different Adobe Reps that I can hardly understand... and have done ALL of the suggestions they have given to. From dragging the settings folder to the desktop from dragging the plugins folder to the desktop to reinstalling the program which i have done twice. Also *I use no 3rd party plugins ONLY A WACOM PEN AND TOUCH TABLET** Regarding the Tablet I have called Wacom and they have no clue of how to fix this issue either I have reinstalled it and updated the latest driver for it. Still nothing. Im am getting very upset I NEED* this for my college class... and NO ONE can help me. Everyone I talk to acts like they have no clue what to do they are just giving me steps that i follow that lead me to nothing. just the same problem. Please someone help me through this. I had been using this program and tablet FINE for like 2 or 3 months and just last week it starting doing this.

I would also definitely clean out my drive using CCleaner and run a defragmentation. Could well be that too much fragmentation is preventing PS from expanding its temporary files beyond a certain point and then it goes belly up....
Windows 7 keeps its drives defragged all by itself and it will tell you about drives getting full.
A better approach would be to scout around in the Windows System Event Log and see if it's logging any failures.

I setup messaging on my verizon, however I have multiple lines on the account and it is showing messaging only for one phone line. Is there a way to toggle between multiple lines on the myverizon site?

How do I toggle between multiple phone lines while on the myverizon website in regards to messaging?

The Account Owner can see the call/text logs for all lines on the account, but each line needs its own My Verizon account for messaging and backups. Those lines will be listed as Account Members and will have limited info. available to them regarding the account.

I usually have 30 tabs opened, and the memory rises in a unexpected way, so that when it reaches 1.2GB, firefox crashes. Also If, for e.g. firefox is consuming 700MB of memory (with a lot of tabs opened), and if i close those tabs and leave just 2 or 3 opened, the memory usage does not drop and remains at the 700MB.

I have the same sort of problem with 30-40 tabs, with memory usage growing until crash. It seems a lot worse after restarting from standby mode on Vista - it's often highly unresponsive for a while, then crashes.
I have a fair few plug-ins running, one of the benefits of Firefox.
Is their a way I can log memory use of parts of Firefox, particularly the plug-ins?

Firefox crashes when I try to open a downloaded file

Hello!
Whenever I try to open a file I have just downloaded Firefox stops working. I get a windows 'Firefox has stopped working' error message.
Steps:
Download a file
Blue download arrow icon flashes to indicate that download has completed
I click the download arrow to open the list of downloaded files
I click the file I want to open
Firefox crashes
I have tried the following:
- reinstall firefox
- refresh firefox
- start firefox in safe mode (still crashes)
I have also tested in Windows safe mode and do not have the problem there. I believe this indicates that there is another piece of software that is causing the crash but I don't know how to identify which other piece of software it is.
Firefox doesn't record these crashes in about:crashes so I have no log to share.
I do have an Error from the Windows event viewer:

Does if help if you check the security tab in the properties of the file and remove a possible internet protection?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Firefox crashes as soon as I open it--I cannot even submit a crash report

Firefox crashes as soon as I open it. As far as I know, I haven't been able to submit crash report. I was playing Farmville when it crashed, about a month or two ago, and did submit a crash report then, all this in suppost has been no help, since I can't get Firefox to open in first place. I can only use IE now, so cannot go to about crashes in location bar.

Hi Deborah,
I would recommend trying to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] - if that works, something within FF (extension of some kind) is probably the cause.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

Firefox crashes whenever I try to open it.

Firefox crashes when I try to open it. This has been happening for days. It began without warning and I was not aware of any changes or updates before it first happened. I tried to open in Safe Mode, without success. No Firefox updates done just before failure.

Download Firefox

And run the install

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
