Firefox crashed with no dialog box, none of my tabs were restored.

Firefox crashed with no dialog box. It just stopped responding and disappeared. When I re-opened it, none of my tabs were restored - just my homepage. I had about 10-15 active tabs that I was working on. I'm not too concerned about the crash, but I AM concerned about restoring my lost tabs. Some are old tabs (ie, months old but I still use them and go back to them), so I'd be digging through months of histry trying to find them or remember what they were.

See Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
If you do not have a sessionstore file in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] then your crashed session is lost.
Session restore works more reliable if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Photoshop crashes with open dialog box on Windows 8.1

I just upgraded from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1. I have Photoshop CC, I also have Photoshop Elements installed. On occasion, Photoshop CC hangs when using the open dialog box. It then crashes explorer. The only way to resolve it is to restart the PC.
Has anyone seen this behavior. I do not have any logs as of now.
Thanks,
Bill Byrnes

I don't know if this is helpful or exactly on topic with this thread... but I have to share somewhere...
I've been dealing this problem for months and I finally fixed it on my own.
My Antivirus, AVG, which is great, except for this glitch, was the root cause of the issue.
History: If I right-clicked a file in my Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop (CS6 Extended) would crash.. for the last few months, actually... If I avoided right-clicking I'm ok, but my instincts are to organize, rename, etc. while in the save/open pop-up window ... So I've often crashed Photoshop when all I do is right-click on a file in the list of files...
Well, I figured out the cause of the glitch:
"Permanently Shred with AVG” .. this option, added without my knowledge during an AVG update, was added around the same time this problem started (realizing this in hindsight).. THIS was conflicting with my Adobe Photoshop file explorer window in the Save/Open dialogue!!! After months of trying to figure this out, this is definitely the solution.
Once I turned that AVG Shell Extenstion off.... I am now able to right-click files in Photoshop save/open pop-up window again without it crashing… finally !!!!
...hope this helps folks even if it's just a related clue to other issues....
Basically ,run command prompt as Administrator, then type:
For 32-bit : regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
For 64-bit: regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
I found this info about turning off "Permanently Shred with AVG" option at this link:

InDesign CS5 Crashes with Warning Dialog Box

Hello,
Facts:
InDesign CS5, v7.0.4
OS X 10.7.4
No third-party font-management application running.
Macbook Pro (June, 2012)
InDesign crashes in these two instances:
1. Trying to delete a page that has content. Right as the warning box comes up, it shows up without content (just the "Warning" title) and crashes.
2. When packaging a file, as it's about to warn you about the perils of archiving fonts it does the same thing as above, and crashes.
Tried the alt-opt-cmd-shift trick to reboot preferences and nothing.
Tried deleting the two preference files directly so that they would rebuild and nothing.
Interestingly, I have another computer running OS 10.7.3 (as opposed to 10.7.4 on the crashy one) and the same InDesign CS5 7.0.4 and that one works perfectly.
Ideas? Leads?
Thanks
Armin

After 2 days straight, I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! I was trying everything, especially related to font book and fonts and resetting prefs, etc...
I narrowed it down to 1 constant variable: it's happening on the 2012 macbook's, so I reset my mac and held command + R and re-installed Lion, then I DID NOT INSTALL THE UPDATE FOR THE MACBOOK 2012. Then I tried exporting a smallest file size pdf with overset text and also tried deleting a page with an object on it and BAM! No blank warning dialog and even more importantly: NO MORE CRASHES!!! Hey, I might not lose all my clients afterall!
got the good ol' warning box we all love and missed:
Again:
- power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
- choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
- DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!
After you guys try this please let us know how your system is operating, I am noticing my macbook pro is so slow and when trying to send an email and choosing an email to reply to and attach something,etc.. each click triggers the beachball and I gotta wait a few moments..?? I'm sure we might be missing out on some good updates from not updating to the 1.0 software update....but....
So my final question is:
is this Apple's problem or Adobe's and who needs to do what here??? Why can't we all get along...

Every time I open a new Firefox window a dowload dialog box opens

Every time I open a new Firefox window, a download dialog box opens with the last youtube .flv file that I converted to an mp3 from www.flv2mp3.com and the box offers the options to open it or save it. I have to click cancel it every time (or try opening it or saving it) to make it to go away. If I open a new tab or new window while I still have the original window open, it doesn't do it. Is this a glitch in Download Helper or did I get a never ending script from flv.com, or what?

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Can't interact with flash dialog boxes[Solved- sorta]

Any time I try to interact with a dialog box produced by the flash plugin (such as the one that pops up with you right click a flash application and select "settings"), I am unable to do anything with it. That includes moving it, closing it, or manipulating any of the controls within it.
I've been googling for the last hour and haven't come up with any kind of solution. I even tried installing flashplugin9, gnash, and flashplugin-mozilla, and they all give the same result. Nor does changing browsers (I've tried opera, arora, swiftfox, and firefox) yield different results.
Thanks in advance for any insight into this issue.
Regards,
EnvoyRising

I would try a different GTK2 theme first. Something not complicated like the default Raleigh theme.

Question
Recently, whenever I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog box: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined (JavaScript Application). Firefox is definitely my default browser.
After clicking OK Firefox opens.

Doesn't work out for me either, so I keep it disabled, because it slows down the searches, and it won't stream its additions onto the pages after the first page of search results. Streaming or page zipping allows me to scroll down to the next page of search results without selecting the page number.

Hi, I just installed my Creative Suite 6 and the programs close right after launching (for about 5 seconds) with no dialog box about an error. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but still the same thing. Help pls!

Why does this constantly occur?

'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar
Select '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.

Firefox crashes with update to version 37.1

Firefox crashes with updates after Update 36.0.4. I tried safe mode and disabling all plugin and add ons

It looks like they are investigating it in bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1151361]

MacBookPro 15.4 keep freezing up with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart

MacBookPro15.4 less than a year old keep freezing/locking with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart THEN repeat successive times after restarting it?

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

Firefox crashing when i wanna open or close a tab or a window, also while wanna open any page, now what to do for solving the problem?

Firefox crashing when i wanna open or close a tab or a window, also while wanna open any page, now what to do for solving the problem?

Disable McAfee siteadvisor and check the problem still persist or not?

When online via WiFi, Firefox repetedly attempts to connect via dialup, with error dialog box returning every 15 sec. or so.

At home, I use dial-up. When I'm visiting, or at certain stores, I use a Wi-Fi connection. When I'm on Wi-Fi, Firefox does not fully recognise it. It will, eventually, use the Wi-Fi connection, load pages, etc. But it keeps trying to dial in, even while connected via Wi-Fi! Closing the dialog boxes only works for a few seconds, then it tries again, and again, and again, and again... Arrgh!
N.B. Could this be Weatherfox connecting to update weather info using its own connection, rather than piggybacking on whatever Firefox is doing?

You can try to swap the order of the connections and place the Wi-Fi connection at the top to see how that works.

Newest update to Firefox Crashes with BEX error code

Updated Firefox to newest version. Upon restarting Firefox it crashes with BEX error code. Deactivated all anti-spyware, removed all traces of Firefox and did a new re-install, and tried to open in Safe Mode but it still crashes upon start with same error code. (Firefox only runs on initial install but upon restart always crashes) Attempted to find an older version of firefox but can not find older version. I do not see any help related to the severity of my crashes. How do you fix the BEX crash?

When you started in Safe Mode*, did you get the Safe Mode dialog or Firefox never got that far? Did you ever get to your home page?
BEX = Buffer Overflow Exception or Data Execution Prevention (DEP) exception. DEP is a security feature that seeks to prevent exploits that inject program code into Windows memory. Firefox doesn't trigger this error on its own, but add-ons or external programs that tweak Firefox might.
Are you using any special configurations to run Firefox, such as virtual machines or sandboxing?
If not, it sound suspicious. You may want to run some supplemental scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
* I assumed Firefox Safe Mode. Or was it Windows Safe Mode with Networking?

InDesign CS5 crashing from print dialog box

Using CS5, multiple computers, some on Leopard, some on Snow Leopard. Printing to a Xerox Phaser 7500. When we set up to duplex print in the print dialog box, the application shuts down when we hit the "print" button. I've searched all through these forums, and the Xerox site, and can't find anything that sounds like this problem.
Brand new printer, latest drivers, all Mac OS updates applied.
Any ideas?

There are also reports that there are many other types of issues which causes the hang ups, not just printing issues. What I have found is that one of the problem is font related. I found that I had multiple versions of the Times font and that the documents which I had hanging the most would contain the Times font. I deleted the font and replaced it with Cambria. Now those documents seldom will hang. My guess is that neither the latest version of OSX or CS5 works well with older fonts.
I still get an occasional hang which requires me to force quit IDCS5. When I do, about 3 out of 5 times, it sends an crash report to Apple but not to Adobe so I still think their is some conflict between IDCS5 and the operating system. I am currently running OSX 10.6.5.
The problem I find is that I am getting the occasional hangs randomly. Sometimes its when packing a file, sometimes it when selecting the type tool. But I've also run into the problem when opening another document.

In Labview, is there an easy way to implement a string input from the operator with a dialog box?

I have a production test system that I want the operator to enter the serial number through a dialog box. As I've currently done it, there's a string control on the front panel to enter the serial number, but the program will run without it. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

make a special vi with only the string as a control and a second string as an indicator connected to it. This string might be hidden after you connect this indicator to the connector. In the vi-properties select dialog and off you go.
