What is solution? I f we need to uninstall and reinstall , what is the procedure?

I have experienced the same problem with Mozilla 1.7 on Solaris 10 and FireFox 2 on Solaris Express for months. Both browsers close unexpectedly, however, I have noticed that this happens when having pages that use flash player... Any ideas...?

When my computer starts up and I open Firefox, Firefox closes automatically for no apparent reason. But when I open Firefox again, it's perfectly fine.

This only happens when I startup up my computer and open Firefox immediately. The browser would stay open for a couple of seconds and then it would close unexpectedly. Once I open Firefox once again, it seems to be perfectly fine and stays open. It doesn't give me any crash report as to any reason my browser closes unexpectedly previously. Can anyone help?

Perform the suggestions mentioned in this article -> [[Firefox Crashes]]
Check and tell if its working.

Firefox closes after being left idle. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and updated it and it still does it.

My Firefox closes automatically after being left idle and it's annoying. I uninstalled it, downloaded it again, reinstalled it and updated it and it still does it. What could be the problem?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.

The ShareThis tab no longer closes automatically in Firefox.

When I use the ShareThis button in Google Reader, a new tab is opened in Firefox. Previously, after hitting the submit button, the tab would automatically close, but, after the most recent update, this no longer occurs. In fact, the tab repeatedly reloads itself when I hit submit, sometimes repeatedly posting the same article. Does anyone know why the tab no longer closes automatically and how this can be fixed?

I do not know what has changed in the last 24 hours, but I am no longer experiencing this problem.

Firefox 4 forgets all my APP TAB tabs when configured to automatically clear browsing history when Firefox closes? Not much of a feature!

When I configure
Options>Privacy>History -> Clear history when Firefox closes -> When I quit Firefox, it should automatically clear all: -> Browsing History
all of my App Tab tabs are cleared, as well. Do I have to give up my privacy in order to use the App Tab feature?

You can try to select only one setting at the time in [[Clear Recent History]] to see which one is causing the crash.

My Firefox browser unexpectingly closes automatically?

My browser crashes automatically without any prior warning and its not isolated to any particular website. When I open up firefox broswer, it normally takes a few minutes or so and then it automatically closes without any prior warning. Also, other applications that are also open and running close at the same time as well. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

clearing cache, and cookies only removes the cookies and clears the
cache/ Not passwords or anything else. Closing in safe mode? That tells
us something. Now do this, 
1) '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''''' 
2) '''''Firefox > Add-ons > Plugins'''''. Disable '''EVERYTHING''' ! !
If Firefox closes on you, start it again and keep going. After everything is
disabled, restart in safe mode again. And let it sit for a while. 
3) Look at the list of programs below and run at least 3 of them. Each
program works differently so what one may miss another could pick up.
======================================================
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Private mode and history automatic delete after Firefox closes is not working?

It keeps remembering history, download history, search & form history when its uncheck, cookies accepted until firefox closes and I have it set on clear history when firefox closes, but its not working even if I use the private browsing mode how do I fix this? (Keep in mind i uninstall to a newer versions but still dont work)
I close firefox Im still logged-in in many websites it doesnt clear anything...

If you leave tabs open when you close Firefox then that data is stored as part of the session data in sessionstore.js in the profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
Do you still see old history after you clear the history?
If Clear Recent History isn't working on closing Firefox then make sure that Firefox closes properly. 
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

Why is it no longer possible to make the download window close automatically after downloading is finished ?

Only two days ago the download window closed after downloading.
What happened ?
And why is there a new and less efficient download window ?

Firefox now manages the downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library (History > Show All History > Downloads) and download are treated as history items.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Downloads+window
So you open the Library if you inspect all downloads and this Library window doesn't close automatically.
When a download is in progress then you see a download progress (timer) bar on the Navigation Toolbar instead of the Download Manager button and that button is highlighted once the download has finished to make you aware the their are new downloads.
You can view the new Download Manager in a tab by opening the about:downloads page and consider to open this page in a separate window.
You can set the Boolean pref browser.download.useToolkitUI to true on the about:config page to restore the classic Download Manager window and make all download settings appear in "Tools > Options > General".

I lose half my saved usernames everytime Firefox closes and they are always the same ones!

The saved usernames that disappear are all of the "https" type.
Firefox is not even asking me if I want to save the username and password.

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 the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

When Firefox was automatically updated, it removed my yahoo toolbar and I can't reinstall it.

When Firefox was automatically updated to 29, it removed my yahoo toolbar and I can't reinstall it. I go through the motions of installing the toolbar and when I restart Firefox, the toolbar is there for a split second and then is deleted from the display. I have since removed the automatic update feature from Firefox and will only update if I deem it necessary and non-destructive. In the past your software has also removed the Social Fixer add-on. I am aware that Facebook does not like Social Fixer. Mozilla should remain neutral. You should not do Facebook's dirty work for them. I can do without Facebook and I can also do without Firefox.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

When I open certain websites I use frequently(like financial trading sites), they seem to close automatically after about an hour. How do I keep them open until I decide to close them?

I recently installed 4.01. Now when I open Firefox, it only seems to stay open for about an hour or so, and then closes automatically.
How do I fix this and keep it open?

That may have been coded on those websites and is done automatically via JavaScript. If it didn't happen previously then it is possible that the used code doesn't work in previous Firefox version. Many of such sites do that and one hour looks to me as already quite long if you leave a page unattended.

Firefox closes after printing web pages.

Firefox 12.0 is my browser. Up-to-date. After printing a web page, Firefox closes. Doesn't happy with other printing i.e. Word docs. Virus/malware protection enabled and up-to-date. I don't see any setting that would be asking Firefox to close when finished, so what could be causing this?

Wow, that's incredibly inconvenient.
To be clear: Firefox is shutting down completely without displaying any error message? When you restart Firefox, does it work or do you get the error that Firefox is already running? Does Firefox suggest resuming your previous session or resume it automatically (i.e., Firefox recognizes that it crashed)?
Usually the first thing to try when printing misbehaves is to reset the various settings Firefox saves for your printer. You can do that in the about:config preferences editor with a lot of right-clicking.
A little more info here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer
Does that make any difference?

How can I disable Firefox from automaticly opening when I start my computer?

Hi there,
I love firefox but I don't want it to open when I startup my desktop.
What can I do to disable automatic opening by firefox?
Thank you

How do I stop firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a textbox?

How do I stop Firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a text box? On certain pages such as Google.com the cursor will be moved to the search text box automatically after a couple seconds from the page loading. So I'll be typing in the address bar or something and then half of what I am typing in the address bar becomes cut off and starts being entered in the Google.com text box for search. The same happens on Facebook.com and the cursor is automatically moved to the Status Update text box. I assume this is a built in "feature" of the web page, but it's damn annoying. Especially when I start typing in my status update box on Facebook before the page completely loads and then halfway through typing (once the page is done loading) my cursor is moved to the starting position of the text area and my text is cut off.
Just the be clear the actual mouse pointer isn't being moved, just the prompt for entering text.
How can this be stopped?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started since I can remember

This problem has grown worse over the last couple of years. I use Firefox on Mac and Windows. I consider this problem to be a bug. Here's why: Event Driven interfaces, e.g., OSX and Windows, are never supposed to change typing-cursor focus WHILE SOMEONE'S TYPING!!!
Firefox allows websites to change focus WHILE USERS TYPE!
Hey, sorry for the caps, but I haven't used those for awhile and that's kind of fun. But really, more and more websites steal typing-cursor focus WHILE USERS TYPE.
Efff them, but really, Eff Firefox for allowing this.
It's almost like a symptom of our hyper scattered age where our attention jumps here and there.
But really... I love Firefox, some of my best friends are Firefox, they're good people, don't get me wrong, but damn it, WHEN SOMEONE IS TYPING THE UNASSAILABLE RULE OF EVENT DRIVEN DESIGN IS NOTHING ELSE SHOULD CHANGE FOCUS WHILE SOMEONE IS TYPING!!!!
FIX THIS PLEASE.
Oh, I just ran out of capital letters. :) :) :)
