Firefox android constantly closes as soon as it's opened

This has been going on since FF34. It takes several tries before it actually stays open long enough for anyone to do anything. Before anyone asks, no there are no crash reports I can send since it's technically a crash. The app just shuts itself down almost as soon as I open it. I have a Nook HD+ so I'm guessing no one here is going to bother to fix it so that it'll be more stable since Barnes&Noble is no longer selling HD's.

Hi Chesshur,
Thank you for your questions, I understand that the Nook HD has Firefox for Android, however it is crashing.
There is a new version of Firefox 37 out today. I do not know if this device is compatible.

Firefox crashes constantly on my Macbook pro. It opens the start page during 7 seconds and then it crashes. Reinstall, del profile, empty cache did not help

I cannot open Firefox anymore on my MacBook Pro. When I try to open Firefox, the start page appears during 7 seconds and then Firefox closes and opens a crash report. During these 7 seconds I can't use any button in Firefox. I deleted everything From firefox and Mozilla in my library and in my cache. After I did a reinstall from Firefox. But the problem keeps on existing.

Can you start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift/Options key?
Can you open Firefox with the about:blank page?

How do I make it so that Firefox does NOT close my other windows when I open a Private Browsing window?

Whenever I open a Private Browsing window, it closes all of my non-private windows until I end the private session. Is there a setting or add-on that will make it so I can have both private and non-private windows open? Both Internet Explorer and Chrome allow you to do this and it is the only reason I'm not using Firefox.

That unfortunately is the way that Firefox works.
You could create a new Firefox profile, but it would have it's own set of bookmarks,
you could use a different browser for either half, but again it would not share you
bookmarks. Firefox has the best bookmarks, but I understand your situation.
Private browsing does not suit my usage because it turns off everything privacy related and I would not want to turn off bookmarking or lose my session data. I am the only user on my computer.

Adobe Illustrator cs5 closes as soon as it is opened HELP

it seems like I tried it all...
I have tried to re-install the software, I have deleted the preferences, I have tried to download an amtilb.dll file but it still does the same thing as soon as I open illustrator it closes itself straight away.

Have you tried uninstalling, running the cleaner tool (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6), and then reinstalling?

Firefox will not open, when I try to unstill it says firefox must first close to proceed, I can't open or uninstall

This happened after a windows automatic update

In Task Manager did you look for Firefox under "Processes" as well as "Applications"(Programs)?

Email closes as soon as I try opening it.

I have had my phone for a couple months now and the email worked fine. About a week ago, I tried opening up my email, and it closes just as fast as I try opening it. It does give me an error message of any kind, it just closes. I have tried a hard reset, deleting the cache and the data, and deleting the account and readding it, but nothing has worked. I don't know how many times I've tried turning the phone on and off. Anyone have any ideas?

Go into your APPS and click on "MY ACCOUNTS" and select the one you are trying to use ... and just verify you have the correct information entered .... My experience is that if it's telling you "wrong id or password", something is in fact saved that is incorrect.

Why firefox is constantly uploading stuff when no webpage is opened?

I recently noticed Firefox had been uploading for no apparent reason.
When no webpage is opened, Firefox uploads around 1MB per minute.
Furthermore, after hours of monitoring Firefox's behavior. I noticed Firefox established 200 connections for no apparent reason either.
My computer is pretty clean, and I don't have any "non-famous" plugin installed.(e.g: I only install world-known ones like: adobe flash, quick time etc)
I can't understand why a browser would need to upload information?

Hi waylander
Try to delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
Did you try Safe Mode?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Firefox is constantly freezing up, and I can't get it going again until I close pluginscontainer.exe which, when freezing, is quite large (sometimes even as big as 300MB). What is causing this? It seems to happen on pages with Flash.

I have already tried reinstalling Firefox, using both the BETA and Stable releases. I've cleared all of my plugins and started over with them, reinstalling Flash multiple times as well. After an uninstallation, I even went as far as deleting Mozilla from my Appdata folder on my user account and from Program Files to assure complete uninstallation.
This crash happens multiple times in a day, I can't go 20 minutes of browsing without this happening.
Also, there are multiple instances of plugin-container.exe running (right now, 5).
Thank you so much for your help, this issue has been driving me up the wall and I just could not get it to stop.

There is a known issue where multiple instances of plugin container open if history or cookies are cleared. Are you, or some utility clearing firefox cookies or history, that could be the reason. This problem continues even if plugins are disabled in Firefox.
*Are you opening multiple instances of Flash Player ?
* Is the problem reproducible ? for instance does it always crash the plugin or cause it to hang if you use a particular site ?
If you get the FlashPlayer plugin crashing use the option to submit the crash reports, it is then possible to follow them up. It is possible to stop the plugincontainer opening, but that could result in a firefox crash. Of course the firefox crash can also send crash reports out, and that could be useful.
* see [[plugin crash reports]]
* [[what is plugin-container]]
* [[firefox crashes]]
There are some problems with FlashPlayer currently under investigation, and there may be other threads in the forum about problems. (e.g. Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs )
Sometimes using Firefox 3.6 is a workaround that helps with FlashPlayer problems, if you wish to experiment with that consider installing firefox Portable and using Firefox 3.6.23 (or soon 3.6.24) for tests with flash player, whilst keeping firefox 7 for day to day browsing.

Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6!

Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6! Have tried various suggestions from online support. I am using Windows XP Pro with all updates, Comcast, Norton Security Suite, V5.1.0.2 updated. The only add-on that seems to work with newer versions is NoScript. I miss Colorful Tabs and Expended Copy Menu. Both those add-ons will freeze Firefox now. Sees like Firefox is going backwards instead of improving.
I have gone into the registry, removed all Mozilla and Firefox entries and reinstalled 8.1. Didn't make any difference. Sometimes 8.1 will work for 3 or 4 sessions before freezing or not reloading. I then have to do a clean reinstall. I really, really don't want to go back and start using IE.
Is this an issue for anyone else or just my computer which is about a year old? Sure would appreciate any help.
Regards,
Paleo

Hi
Well I have tried installing 8.1 without any add-ons and it will open once or twice. Then it will not open. I just reinstalled 3.6 to make this post. I have no issues with 3.6 but Mozilla has posted that this version will soon stop being supported. I can use 8.1 in safe mode with bookmarks enabled but not in regular mode!
Thanks anyway for responding to my post.
Regards,
Paleo

Firefox needs to close and I can't load Firefox until I close it or reboot. Firefox appears not to be running and is not listed when I press "Ctrl-alt-delete."

Message says that Firefox needs to close. It does not appear to be running even when the "Taskmaster" (Ctrl-alt-delete) is displayed. The message says to close Firefox or reboot my computer. It happens constantly, even though I have closed Firefox, already. It appears to happen most often when I reach a page that refuses to respond to any mouse clicks, although, I can close the page (x). I, then, I cannot open Firefox until I reboot.

It stops working for about 2 to 3 min., then either I close the browser or it shuts-down by itself.

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

HT5100 Itunes u just opens and closes immediately when I try to use it. It worked previously, and now it doesn't. I tried uninstalling it and then installing it again and it still closes as soon as I open it. Other apps do not do this. What should I do?

iTunes u closes as soon as I open it. What should I do?

I would start with this FAQ Entry first, if you have not done so yet: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
It starts with a checklist for getting PrE set up properly, then moves into tuning up one's system and OS (you have done a lot of that already), and then goes into troubleshooting tips. Note: those tips rather work up quickly in "degree of difficulty," and DO become quite technical, but things like the "Finding Clues" link will give some tools, that might prove useful, like the use of Windows' Event Viewer to track down issues.
One of the first things to look at would be your video driver. I would go to the video card's/chip's mfgr's. Web site, and check for a later driver. Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver. If there is not a newer video driver, or it will not install properly on your system, be sure to check with the HP Web site, as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and some other mfgrs. will re-package video drivers to suit their specific setup.
One troubleshooting technique, that might prove useful (however, those deleted programs bother me a bit here), would be to create a System Restore Point for now (see Windows Help for doing this with your particular OS version). Then, boot to Safe Mode, and choose an older System Restore Point, from when things did work. This might take some trial-and-error, to get back far enough. Test. At the worst, you will only have lost a few minutes, as you have your new System Restore Point for now, to fall back on.
Good luck,
Hunt
