Firefox audio stops working or crashes if I unplug my USB soundcard

Hi, I use windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 10.0.2, and here is my problem that I have with all versions of Firefox that I've used. I currently use my M-Audio Fast Track USB audio interface as a soundcard on my PC. The audio on it works just fine with FF, but every time I mistakenly unplug it (even if its for less than a second), the audio stops completely on my flash videos (until I restart my browser with the usb soundcard back in), or sometimes hangs (forcing me to close it the hard way) after a while if the connection has been interupted with the soundcard, while all of my other applications remain to work without restarting them.
Is there anything that I can do that will fix this, or will there possibly be any fixes to this in the near future?

I have the exact same problem and my setup is very similar to yours. I have an Hd2900XT and ASUS M2R32-MVP board aswell. It must be some kind of issue with the motherboard i think. Could someone please look into this?
EDIT:
If you disable the onboard soundcard via the BIOS, the problem sto
ps.
Simple as that.Message Edited by paechan on 0-04-20070:04 AM

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!

Since installing 3.6.12, firefox crashes continuously...I have gone back to Windows Explorer because firefox does not run anymore. Upon any actioin in firefox, the screen goes white and freezes and I get an error message saying firefox has stopped working

just about any action in firefox will cause a "WHITE SCREEN" freeze up and then an error message stating that firefox has stopped working. This happens in EVERY sessioin of firefox.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working ~ DivX Web Player plugin crashed

Hi Everyone,
Probably I should begin by saying anything computer-related is like walking blindfold in a pitch dark room. Seriously "tech-impaired" here (i'd go to someone who knows but tight budgets are a pain too... so if anyone here could help fix this I'd be forever thankful.
The first part of the title line is what appears to me in a little message window. YouTube and Hulu work OK, but there's this site "Icefilms (dot) info" -the one that I mostly use- that's the one with the problem.
It was all working just fine until last Monday night (June 20/2011) and it's not just with Firefox that I have this problem, cause when i tried to use Google Chrome it was the same thing, which makes me think it's not an Internet browser problem, I tried changing Firefox (5) to an older version, but instead of just the video widow, the whole thing crashes.

Still saying I need updates but when I update it says I have current versions already.
Also still keep getting plugin container for firefox has stopped working. But I'm not see a problem with anything.

Firefox crashes with error message: "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working"

When I open Firefox it seems to be working fine for one minute, then everything freezes and I receive the following error message:
"Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working
--> Check online for a solution and close the program
--> Close the Program"
Neither option restores Firefox and I'm left with a frozen (white blurry Not Responding) screen. When I click on the X button, then I get the regular "Firefox is not responding" message and the whole program just shuts down.
Should I disable all plugins and / or this plugin container? How can I do that, if Firefox keeps crashing?
Basically, how can I fix this? Thanks a lot!

I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
It appears this forum is dead?!
Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem...

Same problem here. Firefox keeps freezing, sometimes for 5 minutes, then either starts working again really slowly or I get the plug-in error crash. This last time I copied what windows said about the error. This is the info:

Firefox keeps freezing then crashing and a window opens saying "The Plug-In container for Firefox has stopped working..."

Every 5 minutes or so Firefox will freeze and if I'm on a website that uses the flash player the ads and what not will stop and an error thing replaces them and says Adobe Flash Player has crashed. Then a window pops up and says "The Plug-In container for Firefox has stopped working..." or something like that. Then my laptop will work slower until Firefox crashes. Any solutions ?

I updated to Firefox 4 and now I get a Firefox has stopped working message whenever I try to load any websites.

I updated to Firefox 4 and now I get a Firefox has stopped working mesage whenever I try to load any websites. I updated my video driver and cleared my history to see if that would help. I looked for a crash ID on the homepage, but the last registered crash is from February. I also tried to open in Firefox safe mode, but the problem continued to occur. I'm not sure what to do next, please help!

Get error "Firefox has stopped working" under Windows 7

I'm running Firefox 3.6.10 (just upgraded, I was at 3.6.9) and every so often (maybe 1-2 days), Windows 7 decides to crash it with the error "Firefox has stopped working". Firefox itself does not seem to be generating a crash id, which is disappointing since that way it would be reported. I run a LOT of tabs, at the moment I have around 100 open. I notice that the CPU usage seems to get very high (it shows 25% for me, but I have a quad core machine so I guess that is 100% of one CPU) as well as memory (1.5gb). It's almost as though Windows thinks that Firefox has stopped responding because of the high CPU usage and decides to terminate it.
I've seen some posts here reporting similar problems, but no resolutions. I also saw a post elsewhere suggesting disabling throttling in Windows but saw other posts saying that had not solved the problem.
Any suggestions on how to fix or troubleshoot this problem?

I have this problem too. Now i'm using win7 64 bit, i installed the newest firefox 6.0.2 and yahoo messenger 11 -> i got this problem. First time i think this is a firefox's error. I decide to use process hacker (a mini tool to manager running process) to find out what is happening and i found this: the program name "YahooMessger!.exe" run a few second and it calls the firefox crash popup lol. I uninstall the firefox and i see "YahooMessger!.exe" auto run in process hacker! ^^ conclusion: i uninstall Yahoo Messenger 11 and delete two folder of yahoo in my username's document (1 of them have the program "YahooMessger!.exe"), reinstall firefox and get out this problem!
So my question is: what is "YahooMessger!.exe", is it a yahoo's part, is it a spyware or virus? Here is the link of this file, i have archived it with winrar http://www.mediafire.com/?lf8tc9fal5rxlup

I've installed Firefox 3.6 running under Vista V6.0 Service Pack 2. Any attempt to do anything at all with it produces a Windows error message that Firefox has stopped working and it then closes Firefox. Is this a Vista issue?

The download and install processes seemed to work OK
The first Firefox window opened suggesting I update Adobe Flash Player. Clicking on download (with AV s/w either on or off made no diference) produced the Windows message that Firefox had stopped working.
By-passing the Adobe download suggestion and attempting to open up my home page (Google) produced the same result.
In fact any attempt to do anything, i.e. hitting the Enter key or left-clicking the mouse, produced the same result. Firefox freezes and WIndows then closes it.

Try to update Windows Vista Service Pack 2 using Windows Update, then select all high-priority or important updates, install them and restart the computer. Run Firefox. If it works fine then OK or if it crashes then there was no problem with the operating system.
The second method is restart your PC, after the manufacturer logo appears and before "Microsoft Corporation(C)" progress bar appears press F8 key. you will be presented with a menu with options-
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
etc. select "Safe Mode with Networking , and then login to your user account. Run Firefox again. If it works normally, then that probably means that your PC was infected prior to installing Firefox. Update your existing antivirus and run a full scan or acquire free Antivirus like Avast Free Antivirus etc.
If it still crashes, then try re-installing NOT Repairing Firefox AFTER INSTALLING AN UPDATED ANTIVIRUS .
OK the last way, better uninstall Firefox 3.6 and install Firefox 4 Beta 7. Firefox 4 Beta 7 runs 3 times faster than Firefox 3.6, with an overall improved interface.

"firefox has stopped working" upon startup

Few seconds upon start-up, Firefox greys out and the message "firefox has stopped working" appears leaving me with only the option of closing it. I've tried resetting firefox to default state and safe mode with add-on disabled etc but so far the only reliable method I've found is to reinstall it every time, however this only guarantees one use as once I've closed the browser the same problem re-occurs. The only major action I've performed may have been accidentally removing youtube(which contributed to a major portion of my browsing history) from the browsing history after which caused Firefox to lag/freeze and crash and hence my problem began. I tried the profile manager but that crashes on start up as well.
I'm on Windows 7 & Firefox 14.0.1

What is this : "Firefox has stopped working Window is chcking for a solution to the program"

I am Using Mozila 3.6.3 , I am so happy with this version. But Many times it show error
"Firefox has stopped working
Window is checking for a solution to the program"
and then it show
""Firefox has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is Available."
| Close Program |"
How i solved out it

Your Firefox 3.6 is apparently crashing or hanging.
Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and is not secure, so you are increasing the risks to your computer and personal data. It is probably a good time to upgrade to Firefox 14 from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Do not use any option from Windows or firefox that offers to remove personal data (because that destroys bookmarks, passwords and settings). If you have problems once you install a recent version you may neeed to look at

"Firefox has stopped working" occurs frequently

Recently FireFox has begun crashing repeatedly and at unexpected times. Simply presenting me with a dialogue box saying 'FireFox has stopped working'. Vista 'tries to find a solution' but to no end.
The crashes seem to occur exclusively when new websites are opened, or when I trigger some means of new data transfer. For example, I can load a website successfully and leave it up for hours without crashing, however if I were to click a link from that page it would most likely crash.
No particular websites appear to cause the problem. Even clicking simply links from Google can cause it. Yet the same link a few moments later on a second try can work fine.
Finally, it seems that FireFox is causing other applications - that use it - to crash also. For example if I click a link that opens Windows Media Player, some times WMP will 'stop working' in the same way. If I download files and then attempt to open file location via FF's download box, Windows Explorer will 'stop working'.
I do not have any crash reports available, but help would be greatly appreciated.
