Firefox crashers whenever I try to log in to anything

The title pretty much sums it up: when I try to log in to Gmail, Firefox crashes. When I try to log in to Facebook, Firefox crashes. Anything I have set up to always be logged in works fine, but if I log out then back in again, it crashes.
I've tried clearing the cache, restarting the computer, updating Firefox, and scanning for malware, and so far nothing's worked. Any thoughts?

Not sure if you have tried adding 8.8.8.8 to the DNS servers yet or if your messages app is a problem as well. for me the only fix was as follows:
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/IdentityServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. Log out or restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Basically drag the items in the identityservices folder to trash log out, log back in, empty trash, start messages or facetime!!
GOOD LUCK!

Whenever I try to log-in, I, without no specific reason ,automatically been logged-out.

To whom it concerned.
Good morning, I'm Bohyeon Kim from South Korea. I've been really appreciating your company's CC service which is like super excellent.
But, for a couple of days lately, i've been having this problem like shown above. Whenever I try to log-in, I, without no specific reason ,automatically been logged-out. Strangely, I have no problems at all using CC products (like Illustrator) though. Plus, I've paid every single fee for monthly plan perfectly well.
I hope this problem will be fixed as soon as possible, since I have to use CC like everyday for my business.

Thanks & regards.

Whenever I try to log in to my Gmail account, the page redirects for a loooong time, then says that it won't load properly, and that the problem may be caused by not enabling cookies, but I have them enabled. Any idea what the problem might really be?

I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

Ever since downloading Firefox 4, whenever I try to open Firefox I get the download Icon and disk and am not allowed to send it to trash as I have down in other downloads.

I downloaded Firefox 4 a while ago. I followed the instructions and tried to get rid of the Icon on my desktop and the disk. Whenever I try to do so I get a message stating that the disk "Firefox" couldn't be ejected because Firefox is using it and that I have to quit the application and try to eject the disk again. But whenever I try to open Firefox I get the download Icon (the one with the fox and the arrow) and the disk back in my desktop. Can I ever get rid of them?

Did you drag the the Firefox program from the disk image (DMG) to the application folder on your hard drive ?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

HT204053 I changed my AppleID email address because my old address expired, and I can access it on iTunes, but whenever I try to log into iCloud from my MacBook it won't let me sign in under the new AppleID - the old ID keeps showing up. How do I change t

I changed my AppleID / email address after my old email expired, and now whenever I go to sign into iCloud on my computer it still shows my OLD AppleID in the log-in and it won't let me change it. So I can't sign into iCloud! I can still sign into iTunes though from my iPhone and laptop, but iCloud isn't working anymore, where do I go to update my AppleID in the log-in for iCloud???

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

My Firefox freezes whenever I try to search with Google. I am still able to close the browser, though. How can I fix this?

Whenever I attempt to utilize Google to search anything on the internet, Firefox will freeze. However, I am still able to close the browser window and end the firefox.exe process in order to open a new browser window, but it is annoying an inconvenient to have to do this frequently. Help!

Might be because of a malware.

Firefox crashes whenever I try to attach a file in Gmail

I've tried updating flash, resetting everything, etc. Every time I try to attach a document in a Gmail message the browser crashes and I have to Force Quit.

Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
# Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
# Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
# Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
# Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

Whenever I try to log into my itunes it says I have a -50 error, but I'm not downloading anything. I don't know why it won't let me log in.

I don't know why my itunes won't let me log in. All the Apple website tells me is that it's an error when I'm downloading something, but I'm not downloading anything.

Hey shelbylynn18,
Thanks for the question. (-50) is a timeout error that can occur when downloading content or when simply trying to access the iTunes Store. If you have automatic downloads enabled, you may be experiencing this error when iTunes is attempting to automatically download available content.
iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583
This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased content from the iTunes Store. Certain types of software may also affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
- Firewalls
- Web Accelerators
- Ad Filters
- Virus Protection Software
Resolution
If you have any of the software listed above, and you cannot access the iTunes Store or complete your download, you will need to configure these applications to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.
Refer to the documentation that came with that software, and if necessary contact the software's manufacturer. You will need to configure the software to allow the following domains to send and receive data from the Internet.
- itunes.apple.com
- ax.itunes.apple.com
- albert.apple.com
- gs.apple.com
- deimos3.apple.com
- phobos.apple.com
If a web accelerator appears to be causing the issue, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the software manufacturer. If your computer is on a network, you may also want to try using a different computer on the network, or discuss the issue with the network administrator.

I downloaded Lion for my Mac and now Firefox freezes whenever I try to open the NYTimes crossword site.

I've been using Across Lite for years to do the NYTimes crossword puzzles. I just downloaded Lion to upgrade my Mac OS. I've downloaded the new version of Across Lite to fit with Lion, no problem. But when I go to the NYTimes crossword page, Firefox freezes. Sometimes it won't even open the page, sometimes it opens the page but then freezes. I haven't had this problem with any other site.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Firefox crashes whenever I try to open a link from Facebook? I need somebody involved in the upgrade to help me, I don't want to go to a forum and post a question to a load of people when I have no idea if they are qualified to give me advice!

I updated Firefox to the latest release on 1/8/12. Now every time I click on a link to go to youtube, zynga or other links on Facebook, Firefox crashes. I would love to be able to go back to the Firefox I had before 1/8/12, but I cannot find out how to do that. I have almost zero knowledge of computer software and how it all works, the "error reports" and the mumbo=jumbo that people talk about on the "forums" mean nothing to me, I just want an edition of Firefox that works so I don't have to go back to using IE8.

I'm sorry, but simply posting links to pages full of technical information will do nothing to help me. For example, I have no idea what safe mode is, or how to achieve it. I need step-by-step instructions in the form of "an idiots guide to"......
