Firefox Beta quits on my android. no crash - just quits - is there a fix for this yet?

This thread is apparently abandoned by the support people.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026282#answer-643651
so I'm starting it again with some details from the other thread...
Galaxy S4 Model ISGH-M919 Android 4.2.2 Baseband M919UVUAMDL Kernel 3.4.0-453951 se.infra@SEP-133 #1 Fri Apr 26 16:55.54 KST 2013 Build JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL-iwireless1.2 SELinux status permissive
on 10/16/14 started quitting on any website. no crash notice. App just quits. uninstalled on 10/17/14 and reinstalled with no add-ons from Google Play Store No change - Firefox runs as long as it is not connected to the web. Shows history - bookmark - etc. Soon as it connects on the internet it quits. Connecting via wireless network. I have uninstalled it so I can use the internet
I got this suggestion but was unable to duplicate all the steps...
Ok so I tried this finally and got it to work: this might be long but a shortened version:
. Connect the device to the computer via usb.
2. In android settings go to About device and double tap on build id 7 times
3. Go back and now see the developer menu
4. Open and enable remote debugging
5. Open up Firefox on the android go to settings > devloper tools and check remote debugging
6. From Desktop go to Tools > Connect
7. Open Tools > Console
8. Click on gear and on the far right click on "Remote debugging for this session only"
9. [adb sdk install required] in a terminal window
adb devices
make sure a device is listed.
10. On desktop in the window that openned up when you opened up connect click on connect
11. Immediately after run this in the terminal:
adb forward tcp:6000 localfilesystem:/data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/firefox-debugger-socket
12. On the device hit enable on the connection
13. should be connected on the connect and click on the remote tabs.
14 the logs will start to show up in the console.
15. If you need adb log cat logs run in the terminal before you start to test:
adb logcat > text.txt
do you thing, and attach it to a bug.
Here was my response:
I'm getting lost on #6 What "Tools" are you talking about?
I am using a laptop btw. Windows 8.1
Thanks
This is where it stopped... some fool got on that thread and was being obnoxious - so I hope we can start fresh here.

Hi,
The "Tools" are in the old drop down menu, which are not shown by default in the new Firefox Design. To show this menu:
Firefox Menu > Customize
On the bottom left there will be Show/Hide Toolbars. The Menu will be listed here.

I'm wondering if Windows 8.1 is incompatible with Firefox, I've tried to install it several times without success, is there a fix for this? Ty

I'm new to the whole Windows experience, I'm a MAC user and recently got a Dell, I loved Firefox on my MAC, but can't seem to install it on my new laptop, is there a fix for this?
Thank you for your help..

Try the full setup instead of the stub installer. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== installed 3.5

@the-edmeister
Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
Great to have Sync. :)

EXS 24 crashes when I load any sample. Is there a fix for this, perhaps an install / reinstall poison as such? Any help would be very grateful.

I purchased the iMac second hand and is in very tidy condition only used for production. I'm not totally clued up on the Mac side if things as I was a windows user for years. Please be gentle ! :)

Thank you. I figured it out right before I heard from you. Running the OCR before the redaction made it work correctly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
Make it a great day.

Firefox won't remember my passwords, even though I have told it to. Is there a fix for this? I am running Windows7

I have told Firefox to remember the password(s) I use on many different websites. It never remembers any of them. Is there a fix for this? I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Windows 7.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If Firefox doesn't offer to store passwords in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Crashing in iDVD 6.2 during encoding - is there a fix for this at all?

I have been having problems all weekend with this. I am running a G5 as per my signature below. I just cannot get past the encoding part of the procedure.
The application either hangs with the rotating beachball, or crashes completely, either at the video encoding stage or audio stage. I have tried all of the suggested fixes like deleting certain cache files and prefs etc, you name it, ive tried it. The programme is even unstable prior to beginning encoding. I've tried running the application alone with no other progs running, ive tried disconnecting uneccessary equipment, deleting non apple vide plugins etc, but nothing
Judging by the number of postings about this, it seems its a pretty major problem for G5 users. But are there any proven fixes for this?
Im goin nuts here!
Thanks
Bob

I know what you're going through Bob, but it finally worked for me!
I have had the exact same problem - spinning beachball, and then a kernel panic. I was encoding a 35 minute disc which would enter the audio encoding stage, apparently freeze with the spinning beachball and then sit there (in my case for approximately 1.5 hours) while it did its thing. However, my disc didn't eventually finish like most people have been reporting. Just like Bob, mine would eventually crash (faded black screen prompting a restart). I tried the process 4 times, each time with the same result.
Here are things I tried:
-converting all mp3s to AAC and AIFF
-exporting my movie into a .mov and then importing it back to iMovie for final touches (titles, chapters, etc)
-disabling Limewire
-running the Apple Hardware Test off of my install disc to check for bad RAM
None of these worked. I ended up reinstalling the system software that came with my MacBook Pro 17" (10.4.6). This included Quicktime 7.0.4. I'm not sure which of these made the difference but it worked! In 2 hours I had my DVD disc image created successfully. Burning this to a DVD+R worked as it should.
Bob, if it is crucial that you get this disc done ASAP, try reverting to the previous version of Quicktime, and if this doesn't work, try to revert back to 10.4.6.
I couldn't believe my eyes when it finally worked! I've been fiddling for a few days on this.
I hope this gives you some hope, Bob. I understand the frustration. My trusty TiBook crashed perhaps twice in the 5.5 years I had it. This one, in the past month since I've had it has crashed the OS multiple times in iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto, and Safari. I'm not at all impressed.
Now, since going back to 10.4.6 my laptop won't wake from sleep. I still have another movie project to create in the next couple weeks. Should I brave reinstalling 10.4.7??
The best to you,
Sloets

Since I updated Firefox with the current version 10.0, my browser now scrolls 3 lines instead of 1 with my down arrow. Is there a fix for this?

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit, kept updated to current, and Firefox 10.0 updated to current version. When I applied this new update, the browser started scrolling 3 lines instead of 1 when I hit the down arrow. Please advise if there is a fix in the works for this problem. Thanks.
Maggiemod

That seems to be a change in Firefox 10 and later.<br />
I've seen more posts about this new "feature, but I don't know of a way to revert it to one line.
Firefox 10 has changed to scroll amount for the keyboard navigation UP and DOWN keys to 3 lines.
You can set the scroll amount for the mouse wheel via mousewheel prefs on the about:config page, but you can't do that for the keyboard navigation keys.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
There are extension that work both for the mouse and the keyboard to set the scroll amount, but they can only be set to scroll an amount of pixels and not to scroll one line regardless of font-size (height) of the text.

With th recent update from firefox the widevine media transformer plugin that is required by dish online is not compatible, is there a fix for this now or in thenear future?

widevine media transformer plugin
I have been on several forums and the consensus seems to be that it take 2-6 months for the widevine developers to put an update to their plugin that will be compatible with firefox, This update allows customers of Dish Network, and Amazon Prime, to view online video of movies and Television shows they offer. Dish Network is a major provider, and has nation wide coverage areas so the plugin for mozilla firefox users is vital. I would rather not have to go to Internet Explorer for even this one site. I have been a faithful Mozilla user since 2007.

Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

My search bar in google now turns blue and I can not see what I am typing. Why? I read somewhere it's a problem with Firefox. Is there a fix for this?

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but one day my Google search bar turned blue when I tried typing in it. I couldn't see what I was typing. I did some research and some forums said it was a problem with Firefox. Have you heard of this? Is there a solution for it?
Thank you for your help.

For me, the google search bar turns blue once I've typed in a search term, but then want to click on it again to change or add something. The entire bar turns blue. I can still type, but it's hidden. Then when I click Search, it does bring up my search results and now the terms I've written are showing in the search bar, with no blue.
The only way to get out of it when the blue is there, is to reload the page.

When u click on a picture that loads the popup that Facebook has recently introduced on occasion Firefox just hangs and becomes unresponsive and has to be closed by using task manager. It doesn't happen every time say for every 2 out of 10.

Firefox is unresponsive when I open my Macbook Pro or wake it up from sleeping. Is there a fix for this problem?

Whenever I open up my Macbook Pro, Firefix is unresponsive. I can see all of my tabs, but nothing (except the top pull-down menus) are clickable. If I wait a few minutes it seems to work again, but I usually have to force quit. Anyone else have this problem?

Firefox uses plugin-container.exe to run Flash and other plugins. The theory is that if the plugin were to crash, it would not crash all your tabs, just any active plugins. Are you getting a message that a plugin crashed?
If I understand the problem correctly, Firefox is hanging or freezing when trying to open a link, and you are exiting Firefox, after which it won't start up again until you kill firefox.exe in the Task Manager.
Have you noticed any pattern to when Firefox freezes or stalls?
How are you exiting Firefox (for example, from the menu vs. red X button vs. Ctrl+Alt+Delete)?

My Laptop sound works fine with other browsers, but same audio played in Firefox browser is VERY low. Is there a fix for this?

I run Windows 7 on a Dell Laptop with i5 processor - SRS premium sound that works well except when using Firefox browser. Example of problem - listening to CNN news on TunedIn online Radio - volume cranked all the way up provides about 20% of the audio volume when listening to the same on Google Chrome.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Firefox is locking up and the problem appears to be related to plug in container. Is there a fix for this?

Using Windows XP, one tab open in Firefox, selected an item on the webpage, loading icon appeared and kept going, closed Firefox, tried to open Firefox, message that Firefox still running, closed firefox.exe using Task Manager, able to run Firefox again. This has been happening a lot lately and I don't remember it happening in previous versions of Firefox.

My chrome browser crashes when it is set as the default. Is there a fix for this?

Since I set Chrome as my default browser, it continuously crashes. I've done a reset and re-install before, but i find it easier if I just leave safari as default and use chrome. Does anyone have a better workaround?

Try restarting and see if that changes anything
Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart.

On my new web site Dashboard, when making any Chamges or Updates, I either get a AJAX Issue or FF CRASHES, is there a Fix for this?

* Length of time - last 4 months, starting with FF V16 thru V20.
* Frequency - On every dashboard attempt to Update my new web site pages, using RedFrame.com.
* Errors - window message - "AJAX issue here - 0 Reason -error" when update icon Hangs or Freezes. (photos available).
* RedFrame Support - Crashes & hangs are attributed to Missing, Corrupt, or Old Code on FireFox.
* Web browsers either not affected or minimally affected - Google Chrome (most stable) and Safari (less incidents)

I'm curious about this part --
''RedFrame Support - Crashes & hangs are attributed to Missing, Corrupt, or Old Code on FireFox.''
-- did they suggest typical troubleshooting methods such as:
* Clearing your Firefox browser cache
* Removing your redframe.com cookies
* Testing with add-ons disabled
For the first two: When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Here you can individually remove them. Then try reloading the page and logging back in. Does that help?
