Firefox crash whenever I download file

Actually, the problem is that, whenever the Downloads Window is opened in Firefox (i'm using the latest version), Firefox crashes. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

The grep part is handy (but he should grep for the package name), as pacman searches the whole 'pacman -Qi' output:
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qs syslog
local/perl-device-modem 1.54-1 [0,12 MB]
Perl extension to talk to modem devices connected via serial port
local/syslog-ng 3.2.4-3 [1,16 MB] (base)
Next-generation syslogd with advanced networking and filtering capabilities
'--quiet' doesn't help of course:
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qqs syslog
perl-device-modem
syslog-ng
Why would I want perl-device-modem if I'm searching for syslog?

Firefox crashes when uploading/downloading files from/to 'desktop folder'

Hello
I'm hoping, that you can help me!
I'm using Firefox 28.0 on MacBook Pro Mavericks 10.9.2
Firefox crashes/freezes when I try to upload/download files from/to my 'desktop folder'.
I't only happens, when I use this folder. Download to 'download folder' or any other folder works fine.
Download to 'desktop folder' when using Safari also works fine.
I't only happens when desktop and firefox tries to communicate.
It's very annoying when I accidentally forget, that the bugs is there, and I have to force quit and start all over again. And sometimes I don't even have a choice, because 'desktop' randomly opens as default folder, when I try to upload things.
Thank you so much in advance!
Kind regards Elizabeth

Hi ESwan,
I am not a Mac user so not the best person to attempt to assist but here goes.
I am presuming that info such as
PID: 1695 Event: cpu usage (microstackshots only)
Relate to the Mac OS X crash & event logging and reporting.
What we need are the ones that Firefox itself generates and submits for processing by Mozilla Firefox
* See [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash]]'''#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash'''
From what you say the crashes occur after a certain action and I am hoping that you will be able to use the easy method as in the article linked above. Navigate to about:crashes by keying ''about:crashes'' into the address bar. You are loolking for the ones starting wth ''bp-'' Paste two or three of those into your next post. Include the bp- part but not any link information before that. After they are pasted into the forum the forum software changed them to be links.

Finder crashes whenever a downloaded file gets chosen to "Show In Finder"

It happens after some files are downloaded, and it doesn't matter what type of files they are. If there is a folder open on the desktop and the downloads window is open, ctrl + click the file, choose "show in finder" and the folders all reset to show the root (HD and Network). If it is shown again, the entire finder crashes. This happens on every OS X version and hardware type. Anyone else here of this happening? I can't find a single thing to make it work.

What is in the side panel is just a shortcut.
The Pictures Folder is in your User Account. IN the Finder use the Go menu and paste this into the window
~/Pictures
and it will bring you there.

Whenever i download files, many times it stops before downloading completely and i have to restart the process by visiting the site.

Whenever i download files, many times it stops before downloading completely and i have to restart the process by visiting the site. Suppose the file is 20 mbs, but it downloads only 2-3 mbs, reports that download is complete, but its just a part of that.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12 crashes when I download files for sites. What can I do?

When I try to download files from some sites. Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12 crashes. This has happened over and over again. I have sent numerous the crash to Mozilla.

I had no problem when working with version ff3.6.3.
After I updated to 3.6.12, when I try to down load a file or save a page, FF crashes or hangs. After I kill the program from Task manager, and reopen the program, FF successfully continues with the download and finishes it.
So decided to uninstall the entire FF, removing all the existing configurations and do a fresh install.
After I open the newly installed FF 3.6.12 for the first time and try to save the mozilla page, FF 3.6.12 still hangs. Looks like there is a serious bug in v3.6.12.
Please fix it soon.
Where can I download earlier version?
Thanks

My itune crash whenever it download podcast after upgrade to 11.3.1.2, I was it Win 7

After upgrade to 11.3.1.2, my itune crash whenever I try to download podcast. I am now in Win 7, the itune and those podcasts has been here for a long time. (not newly add)

I think I have found a "fix" to the problem on Win7.
My problem was : When I refresh my podcast in Itunes 11.3.1.2 on Windows 7, Itunes crashed.
I try many different things in order to "fix" the crash, but I think the key thing is renaming or deleting this folder
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
to something else like
C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunesBak
From what I observe this affected how Itunes's UI was displayed and not much else, but I would strongly suggest to backup your stuff before doing this.
Others steps I did thay may have helped address the issue is uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling it. Renaming the Itunes folder in the music folder
ex: C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes to C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunesBak
and then copying
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
from the "ItunesBak" folder to the "Itunes" folder. NOTE!! All my mp3 files are in a specific folder on my drivem if you are using the default settings don't forget to copy your media library.
Good luck!

Firefox crashes whenever I try to open it.

Firefox crashes when I try to open it. This has been happening for days. It began without warning and I was not aware of any changes or updates before it first happened. I tried to open in Safe Mode, without success. No Firefox updates done just before failure.

Download Firefox
*[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-10.0&os=win&lang=en-US Download]
And run the install

When Firefox is opened a download file dialog box pops up

When I open Firefox, a download file prompt appears for a file that I previously downloaded. I'm using Windows 8 x64 on a brand new laptop. (Not the computer I'm posting from)
I've tried the following:
Set Firefox to use the default homepage. There are no secondary pages.
Set the default homepage back to default. (The default homepage does come up)
Tried launching Firefox directly from c:\program files (x86)\mozilla\Firefox.
Clearing the downloads list.
Deleting all files in the Downloads folder.
Searching the HKLM\software\mozilla registry key for the filename.
Searching the about:config section for the filename.
Deleting the app data folder from app data\local.

Try clearing the Download History.

Firefox crashes since I downloaded OS 10.6.7

I downloaded the update this morning and now every time I open my email or try to reply to an email Firefox crashes. There was no problem until the download

First, please make sure you're running the latest version of Firefox. If you are, then please enable the guest account, log into it, and try the same actions in Firefox (you'll have to enter your email password.) If you still get the crash in the guest account, then reboot in safe mode (shift key down at startup), log into your own account, and try again. Same problem?

Firefox crashes when I select FILE then OpenFile, and sometimes it lets me get to a file list, but when I select that it crashes

This has been an ongoing problem, and it does not occur with IE, Opera, Chrome, Browzar, Safari or Avant browsers.
If I click "File" and then "Open File" it will frequently crash. Sometimes I can navigate to an actual filename in a director, however clicking on that file to open it will crash it. The files can be text files, web pages or photos. It crashes equally among them, or any other file I try to open. There are approximately 65 forwarded messages created by my browser and sent each time this happens but I have never heard from anyone at Firefox about it.

Ooops. I haven't updated my sig in a while. I'm on 10.8.2 and it happens on a late 2008 Alu Macbook.

Firefox 4 hangs while downloading files, sometimes get an error saying Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 is busy or may have stopped responding, how can I disable this script?

While downloading files Firefox 4 freezes (started with 3.5) and sometimes I get a window that says Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 has stopped responding or is busy and asks if I want to stop script or ignore. I have looked through about:config and don't see a way to disable the script and keep it disabled.

That is a problem with an AVG extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Firefox 3.6.3 downloads files to the desktop but they are invisible (can't open it)

Firefox says that it just downloaded a file, but I can't have an access to it and don't see it. Location was chosen with attention.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when upgrading to 3.6.3

Hello Kuolematon,
this issue might've been caused by a download antivirus check. We'll disable the antivirus check for downloads now:
#Enter about:config in Firefox and press Enter.
#Enter ''browser.download'' in the Filter textbox.
#Search for a preference named browser.download.scanWhenDone .
#Double-click on this preference to set the value to ''false''.
Afterwards, see if you can download files again!
Kind regards,
Tobbi

If it freezes the computer then it sounds that there is a problem with a system driver on service that is running on the computer.
