Firefox crashes as soon as the page loads it is completely unusable

i got a update prompt from firefox a few hours ago which i installed and now it wont work as soon as the page loads it crashes it wont even stay on long enough to figure out the problem i swear by firefox i have used its for years and never had any problems with it ever if i recall but lately it has been freezing and crashing often i feel like i am using internet explorer and thats bad but now i cant get it to work at all and am forced to downgrade to a lesser program WHAT IS GOING ON????? as for crash ids and troubleshooting info none of that even comes up

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
* It may not be necessary to create a new profile, so first try if it works with your current profile and if not then create a new profile.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Web address deletes as soon as the page loads

    Whenever I click a link, or a recently visited page from the drop down history, as soon as the webpage loads, the web address deletes itself. This is annoying because sometimes I'd like to copy paste it to share with friends. Also, similar problem, when I'm typing on a webpage, sometimes it stops typing in on the webpage, and makes me type it in the web address bar, making me click the field i was typing in again. It's happened while I was filling this form out three times. Bought a new keyboard, thinking my tab button was stuck, didn't help. Can I get help for both of these two problems? Doesn't happen in Chrome or IE, but lets face it. . .they are both terrible, I like Firefox.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • Loading websites causes Firefox to crash, pressing F5, the page loads correctly

    I have users using Mozilla 5.0, when going to any website the browser crashes. Pressing F5, the page will re-load correctly.
    This did not happen in version 3.6

    I have tried all the basic stuff. The user upgraded from 3.6.3 to version 5.
    I checked the hardware, NIC card driver is up to date, Windows 7 PRO is updated as well.
    Thank You

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

  • How do I move the page-load progress meter from the bottom task bar to the top menu bar, or inside the top/header toolbar? I am currently using Firefox Version 3.6.19

    How do I move the page-load progress meter from the bottom task bar to the top menu bar, or inside the top/header toolbar? I am currently using Firefox Version 3.6.19.

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar to get the new appearance.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You can place the Tab Bar on top.
    * View > Toolbars : [ ] Menu Bar
    * View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top
    The Tab bar only appears on the title bar if the Firefox window is maximized.

  • Firefox crashes as soon as I open it--I cannot even submit a crash report

    Firefox crashes as soon as I open it. As far as I know, I haven't been able to submit crash report. I was playing Farmville when it crashed, about a month or two ago, and did submit a crash report then, all this in suppost has been no help, since I can't get Firefox to open in first place. I can only use IE now, so cannot go to about crashes in location bar.

    Hi Deborah,
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] - if that works, something within FF (extension of some kind) is probably the cause.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

    Does that happen with anything you try to download in IE, not just when downloading Firefox?

  • I want to suppress the page loading status

    Firefox shows the page loading status as a popup on the left bottom corner of the window. I want to switch off this feature, but cannot find a way to do this, it is not in the options.

    ''suppress page loading status, in lower left corner''
    You can hide/show the add-ons bar (formerly status bar) with "Ctrl+/", which is the same as ["Alt"] > View > Toolbars > (check on/off) Add-ons bar
    For more control over the add-ons bar try the "'''Status-4-Evar'''" extension (34KB)
