Firefox after upgrade/restart behaves like crazy...

Hi!
When restarting Firefox, tabs are always blank, no tab history, but "normal" browsing history OK.
When bookmarking all tabs, this kind of warning appears :
Assertion Failed
ASSERT: undefined
Stack Trace:
for every tab that was open. After them a "New Bookmark" empty window appears (only window title line with "X" close button and title text visible, i.e. small window). Happens to normal and pinned tabs. Folder with the creation time is created in Bookmarks menu, but they are all empty.
Changing settings from Options->History->Firefox will: from "Remember history" to "Use custom settings for history" reverts back to "Remember history" after restart.
After last update to 15b3, I can't even open new tabs!! And from Options, I can't see the first three pages, General, Tabs and Content.
The first issue (blank tabs after restart) has happened before, but the tabs came back after another restart. Only after updrading to 15.0 beta 1 has this been constant, and I tried to downgrade to previous stable/beta (no clean install), but the problem persists regardless of version/branch.
Since these problems seem to come one after the other, and now that the browser seems somehow 'locked', I was thinking maybe some critical file somewhere is stuck/locked/overflowing or something.. And I don't have time to try and solve this myself, as it would obviously require some deeper knowledge than I possess.
System:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Firefox 15b3 32-bit
4GB memory
One more problem: trying to get the info from Help -> Troubleshooting Information does nothing, no window opens, no dialogs, nothing :/
What's the problem, how to fix it? Any suggestions? What more info might You need? Anybody else having the same issues?
Thanks!

Thank you cor-el, the newly created profile works smoothly, no problems as of yet.
I thought the creation of a new profile would correct the problems, but I'm usually a bit reluctant to start all from the beginning to get rid of bugs; I'd much rather apply a "surgical" solution, e.g. I have never reinstalled Windows because of slowness or of any other of the huge amount of problems usually faced with when running the same instance of Windows years in a row, but tried always to clean registry, uninstall programs etc.
Now I have too many other things to do, so I think I'll just swallow my pride and start to move settings and files etc. to get a familiar browsing experience :)

  • No sound in firefox after upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04

    no sound in firefox after upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04. Youtube and Vimeo are both affected. Have sound in Banshee and MPlayer.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After latest upgrade to 10.04

    Sorry, can't help you much with Ubuntu issues, I am a new Ubuntu user myself; except that you have two versions of Flash appearing in your Plugins Installed listing. Not sure if it will solve that particular problem, but you need to delete the Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 version.

  • Cant play Quicktime files in IE7/Firefox After upgrading to Quicktime 7.5.5

    After upgrading to 7.5.5 I cannot view quicktime files on the apple site using internet explorer 7 or firefox 3.01.
    I've uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted etc but no change.
    Any clues? am I all alone here?
    Message was edited by: timsmyname

    Anyone with answers please reply because I am suffering from the same problems after reformatting and reloading OEM software and upgrading to current. I thought she had gotten infected from chain emails because of repeated blue screen shutdowns only to find that Quicktime 7 is causing the conflicts.

  • No sound in itunes or firefox after upgrade imac

    I have just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and now I have no sound in itunes or Firefox, its playing in Safari and skype and local programs

    Hello katecurr,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with system audio. You may want to consider a PRAM reset to address the issues you've described:
    A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
    Note: To print these instructions, open Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear), then choose Print.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on your Mac.
    Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • How can I get my mail to open and read documents in Firefox after upgrading to Sony Vaio Gatew 2.4.0

    I upgraded my Sony Vaio Gate software to 2.4.0.06210 on Wednesday night. Afterwards, my mail functionality is not working with Firefox. It will work with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox when I try to do the following such as clicking on check mail, open inbox or trying to open any views or documents.
    It will not open, but only states trying to load and indicates the following:unknown property text flow - declaration dropped and it is referencing my mail server in trying to read data from it. However, if I right click and clikd on a new tab it will read in the data and then if i open a new tab again it will open the document. It's not able to stack the data and hold it properly now for some reason. What do I need to do to get it to work with Firefox? Thanks. edit

    Hi Rick,
    do you mean I could get a direct download link to After Effects 11.0.4? So I don't have to run this patch that never seems to work?
    Hard to believe all the Adobe tech support guys I've spoken to wouldn't have mentioned that, I've spent hours and hours on the phone already....
    I will try!
    thank you

  • Can't open firefox after upgrading to the latest version. All programmes affected, basically nothing works and it's driving me mad!

    Having updated firefox, it does not work. After an hour or so to try and open firefox, it says firefox has crashed and gives option to restart or quit.
    Same with internet explorer and chrome - no response. After about an hour, excel finally opened but so slow to be able to do anything.
    Also noticed a message bottom right corner of screen saying this version of windows is not authentic. I have windows 7 and it is legitimate and have not seen this message before.
    I have read lots on the internet but nothing seems to match my problem if nothing working. I am unable to change settings or look at set up of any programmes because I cannot get in to them.....
    Any ideas would be so gratefully relieved please!!

  • IPhoto after upgrade still looks like the old one

    Click on the full screen button in the upper right hand corner of iPhoto and you'll see what was shown in the Keynote address on the new MacBook Air.  That was the full screen mode.

  • When closing Firefox after upgrading to Ver. 4 it no longer prompts to save tabs. Advice given was: "Settings may be set incorrectly If your Firefox settings are configured differently, the prompt will not occur. " What settings do I need to change?

    Every time I close Firefox I lose all the tabs and have to re-establish them when re-starting Firefox. I cannot find any provision in the options to change that.

    A slow boot time can be caused by login items.
    User Login Items:
        Flux
        NoSleep
        ClipMenu
        Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2
        BetterTouchTool
        USBOverdriveHelper
        TotalFinder
        Gmail Notifr
    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
    Remove one login item noted above then restart your Mac to test. It may be one or multiple items causing the slow boot.

  • Cannot open Firefox after upgrade to 3.6

    I upgraded to 3.6 from 3.5? Nothing happens when I click on firefox. I then did a system restore and still nothing. I used a flash drive and downloaded v.3.5.9 and brought it to my laptop and installed and nothing. What can I do????
    == I upgraded to 3.6

    Well, thanks for your help. My son came home and I put him in charge of fixing it while I cooked for him. He did have a heck of a time with it. He uninstalled everything and reinstalled and all is now well. Thank you

  • Why I can't sync firefox after using "restart with Addons disabled"? Why It's showing account not found?

    I'm using firefox sync with multiple desktop and laptop, even with Linux and windows environments since long, without any problem. Recently, I've used "Restart with addons disabled" option. Since then I can't setup sync. It's showing account or usename not matching!!! When I've tried to reset the password then It's showing account not found!!! But I've checked several times about username and password. Interesting on my laptop Firefox sync works perfectly, without any issue.
    I really need to solve this issue ASAP. I really , really want to continue using Firfox.
    Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Is there still a name and password and Sync key saved in the Password Manager?
    You can find the sync account password and the sync (recovery) key in the password manager on computers where a sync account with a specific e-mail address has been set up.
    *Firefox/Tools > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    Look for:
    * chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password)
    * chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Encryption Passphrase)
    You can try to remove all services.sync lines from the prefs.js file in the Firefox profile folder and possibly delete or rename the Weave folder.

  • Incorrect version number and installation date of Firefox after upgrading

    My home desktop PC equipped with Mozilla Firefox v4.0 has recently been upgraded to v4.0.1 through an automatic updating. However, as noted from Windows 7 "Programs and Features", the latest version number and its installation date are not correctly shown. The required details refer to the previous v4.0.
    I look forward to having your technical advice as soon as possible.
    Andrew

    Hi, Alan
    Thank you for your prompt response.
    It seems to me that an automatic update of Firefox from v4.0 to v4.0.1 is not detected by Windows 7 > Programs and Features. Firefox > Show Update History and > About show the latest version number with the correct date of installation.
    At last, I re-installed Firefox into the existing version. I am pleased to inform you that Windows 7 shows the correct version number and installation date of Firefox as well as Revo Uninstaller.
    Perhaps, Firefox team would be kind enough to look into the matter. The problem did not happen in the past automatic updates.
    Regards,
    Andrew

  • Try To Reinstall After Upgrade Doesn't Like Prod Key

    GT70 2PE 1041US with windows 8.1
    So after some reading i went out and got 3 128 msata cards and installed them. what fire1 was doing.
    Then i did the bios thing to raid 0 from video i found on youtube (msi)
    No matter what windows i try to install keeps saying wrong product key, i got the key prior to trying this.
    I downloaded a couple versions 8.1 and 8.1 pro from using the media creation tool, still no luck.
    Is there a way can i get the original windows from the laptop so i can use it?
    Thanks for any help here.

    Not sure says 8.1 but i think it came with 8.0
    using an bought copy of windows 8 pro on CD
    Goes To setup is starting then says:
    A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD,USB or hard disk driver.
    If you have a CD,DVD,or USB with a driver on insert it now.
    Seems silly to need a driver when it starts the setup process from the cd
    Made a usb boot disk with windows 8 pro, didn't like the key from laptop.
    But it did take the key from the the windows 8 CD. hehe but i don't want to waste it need it elsewhere.
    So where the heck can i find a windows 8 iso or how can i get it off the recovery partition on the 128 ssd disk?
