Firefox crashes at start because of SQLite Version Error

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now when I try to start Firefox it gives me the following error:
SQLite Version Error
The application has been updated, but your version of SQLite is too old and the application cannot run.
It won't start in safe mode. I've rebooted my mac in safe mode and then started normally to clear my cache. Firefox is not sending crash reports.

I've had this exact same problem since upgrading to 10.6 in February (I've been subsisting on Firefox 3.0 ever since), and I've never been able to figure out how to update sqlite. Can you explain how you did this? The disk image I downloaded from that site you linked to has nothing but a command line UNIX executable, a library file (no idea where to put this), and a readme that doesn't explain anything useful. Any help would be appreciated.

Figuring out the cause of a crash can be difficult. If you've tried the steps above and can't get Firefox to stop crashing, the steps below will show you how to collect information about your crash so our volunteers can help you.
1. In the Firefox Location bar, type about:crashes and hit Enter. A page listing submitted crash reports will appear. '''NO START so no Firefox Location bar'''
2. Right-click on the latest crash under Report ID and choose Open Link in New Tab. '''NO START so NO Firefox Report ID and not possible to choose Open Link in New Tab'''.
A tab will open to a page on crash-stats.mozilla.com, saying that "Your report is being processed". When it is finished processing, your report will load. '''NO START so NO Firefox Report ID and NO report will load so dead end and no help or support possible'''

Hi Max,
Congratulations, at least you made a stab at solving the problem. I think a lot of users used to glance at that KB article ([[firefox crashes]]) and give up trying!
Hopefully the crash instructions will be further modified soon, (some of us consider the following is an [/kb/Firefox%20crashes/discuss/1855 omission] that needs correcting) have a look at this article for an explanation of how to get the crash ID from your OS even without using firefox:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad#Location_of_crash_reports
The XP OS is likely to use smoke and mirrors to make it look like you have a totally
separate installation of firefox for each account, but normally you have the one set of (most) program files, and then for firefox separate [[profiles]]. So this indicates the problem is likely to be in the profile of the problem account, or down to a plugin, malware or other issue relating to that account. (I note you have already scanned for malware with MSE, that should detect a particular trojan that is a top cause of firefox 6 crashes)
If you create a new clean profile in that account hopefully it will solve the crash problem, you can then address the issue of copying settings, bookmarks. passwords etc back. BUT before attempting that ensure that you disable all plugins, ([[safe mode]] does not disable plugins) if you have not already done so. Some plugins may not show up in Firefox's list, you may need to look at the OS program lists.
I note you mention banking, a particular utility ''IDvault'' (I think Comcast supply it) has been causing crashes. Are you using IDvault ? (IDvault should be fixed soon bug684748; version 1.0.627 may have been fixed, but standalone version 5.9.627 has not yet been fixed )

"SQlite Version Error The application has been updated, but your version of SQlite is too old and the application cannot run." What is this all about?? Shall I give up on Firefox?

When I tried to use Firefox this morning I got this message with exclamation marks.
"SQlite Version Error The application has been updated, but your version of SQlite is too old and the application cannot run."
What is this all about?? Shall I give up on Firefox?

Sorry to hear that. I understand your frustration and I hope they send back a better working N78-3.
Myself, I count myself lucky. Everything works perfectly for me right now...email, bluetooth, maps, gps, 3rd party apps, battery life, 3G, wifi, etc. etc.
The only issue I've been having is the dreaded reboots but I believe that may have to do with 3rd party apps. I recently uninstalled Google Search app from my N78 and since then it hasn't rebooted or shown any issues. This seems odd at first but makes sense if you think about the fact that the Google Search app loads itself into memory and runs in the background at all times.
I did this this past Tuesday night and so far no reboots, crashes or any problems. I'm sure I just jinxed myself but I've been using it heavily over the last few days with no issues. Prior to this, it would usually reboot every 2 days. If it doesn't reboot for another few days I'll be happy.
I would normally not stand for this but I just love the phone and if I got something else it'd probably be the iPhone 3G which has perhaps more software bugs and issues than the N78-3!!
Best of luck. Here's hoping they release an update soon.

When i connect my ipad to my computer via usb, the latest version of itunes states that the mobile version cannot be started because of an unknown error

i have just downloaded and installed the latest version of itunes. Now when i connect my ipad to my computer via USB, itunes states that the apple mobile device service cannot be started because of an unknown error (1058). The connection worked fine with the previous version of itunes.

so then i tried intsalling a stand alone if apple mobile device support (amds) but still it doesnt work
Did you get an error message when you did the standalone AMDS install? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Firefox crashes at start up, even in safe mode

Firefox crashes on start up. Crashes in safe mode as well. Tried steps on articles. Was watching adobe flash player when it crashed first time.

Any other recent crash IDs (maybe some have links to bugs or other posts)
Crash report: [https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ba759d32-e684-4f6c-813b-679ce2111005 ba759d32-e684-4f6c-813b-679ce2111005] 
Crash signature: nsSecureBrowserUIImpl::OnLocationChange(nsIWebProgress*, nsIRequest*, nsIURI*)
That one does not seem to give any useful info at present.
Malware is one common cause of crashes, and that may produce variable crash reports, it is probably worth doing full scans with multiple tools/software to try to rule out the possibility of malware.
*See [[is my firefox problem a result of malware]]
Besides trying in safe mode did you also try disabling all plugins whilst in safe mode. (If it crashes before then, are you able to create a new profile and try that ? ) Also if crashing before about:crashes may be entered have you seen http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad#Location_of_crash_reports
Sorry I am not able to give a useful answer at the moment.

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

When I try to set up MS Outlook using Outlook Setup for Icloud it fails at step 2 of 7 Download Calender from iCloud with error message "your setup could not be started because of an unexpected error" My iCloud calender in Outlook had previously been working, but was not reflecting the same scheduling information, so I tried to delete it and reinstall using the Outlook Setup for iCloud.
How can I get it to work again?

Firefox crashes when starting up, does work in savemode.

Firefox crashes most of the time when you start it up.
I've already done a whole lot of things, like:
-updating everything (firefox, plugins, addons).
-removing addons
-disabling / turning off plugins
It does NOT happen in save mode, so that makes you wonder.
I think it has something to do with one of these things:
- I updated Shockwave for Director (adobe), but the older version is still visible as a plugin. I cannot delete this plugin, though it is not installed on my computer anymore and it has no use whatsoever. I can however turn it off to see if this does the trick. It does not help, but maybe really deleting it does help? I don't know because I can't delete it.
- FireFox runs in SandBox by Avast! Sometimes it does seem like this is the problem, but sometimes he still crashes even though I open FF without SandBox.
- it does seem like hardwarespeed-up has something to do with it. But I'm not sure.
My questions: does anybody know how to really remove the old Shockwave for Director plugin?
Is it possible this is caused by sandbox avast?
How can I establish the hardwarespeed-up being turned off? I can turn it off, this does seem to help: it won't crash. However, when I open FF again, it is being turned on again.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/
If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My Firefox crashed on starting, & I sent a report. I started again, but does not recognize the password that I set for it some weeks ago. What do I do now?

I have check for a virus, via AVG; none found on a scan of the whole computer.
I have called up Firefox at least twice to reach UWO & its Convergence pgm to get my mail. Convergence asks for my security password. I have entered it very carefully several times on two separate tries of Convergence, & it is not recognized. The only thing unusual that has happened is the Firefox crash immediately before I called up Convergence. I think this password is a Firefox thing, required whenever the site wants a password.
What do I do now?

Firefox shouldn't require to enter a password to start, so if you need one then you may not have the official version from the Mozilla servers.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Firefox crashes on start-up, even in safe mode

Back in March/April 2012, Firefox started crashing for me on start up, possibly after the automatic/remote installation of MS security patches. After that time, I've not been able to start Firefox without it going directly to the Mozilla Crash Reporter. I've tried everything I could think of including safe-mode, uninstall/re-install, uninstall/back-up profiles directory/wipe profiles and all registry entries/re-install. This continues to fail since version 11(?) through 13.0.1. Even Sea Monkey crashes same manner. BTW, clicking on the "Details" button in the Mozilla Crash Reporter has no effect for me. I was trying it to help fill in the Troubleshooting Information box below as I can't get to "Help > Troubleshooting Information" as Firefox doesn't start.

What was the location of the file?

Firefox crashes on start-up; cannot get it to work. Any detailed solutions to try?

I've read through so many helping websites but I just can't find a solution to fix Firefox, it constantly crashes upon start-up. So I can't activiate Safe-Mode, or open it up or anything to fix it.
I also suspect that this rundll32.exe host has to do something with it. The messages came right after Firefox crashed. Should it be deleted?
Please help. This is bothering me so much. I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks!

Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing. 
You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport 
You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it. 
http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem 
If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.

Firefox crashes on Start-Up

Hello!
I downloaded the latest version of Firefox for Windows XP but it always crashes on start-up. Mozilla Crash Reporter appears. I am not able to start Firefox in safe mode.
My latest crash ids are bp-9fdcf812-70e4-4025-97b1-4c7592130430,
and bp-74c78b9f-ad72-446e-aa0a-d8aef2130429.
I immensely appreciate any assistance you are able to provide. Thank You!

hello, from the crash report you've submitted it seems like the crash might be adware/malware related. the file on your pc causing the crash is named ''datamngr.dll''.
first, please go to the windows control panel / programs section and see if you have any toolbars, imesh, MediaBar, data manager or other similar suspicious programs installed - if so remove them...
afterwards please run a full scan of your system with different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner].

Firefox crashes on start up for one user but not another

Crash ID: bp-df3a48d7-363c-4d2f-87d3-f73902140723
Version: 31
Crashes on start up for one user but not another. Both are administrators.
I have uninstalled and re-installed. No change with each user.
Crashes in safe mode as well (holding down shift)
No addons present in other user.
Have ran Malwarebytes and cleaned
Have ran CCCleaner and cleane all including registry entries with Firefox uninstalled.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See '''Creating a profile''':
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Firefox crashes on start. Profile manager also crashes. Already reset.

Firefox crashes before it even fully starts. I tried to do the profile manager trick but profile manager crashes, too. I started in safe mode and did the reset Firefox thing, that didn't help.
I deleted the cache while in safe mode.
I even uninstalled and reinstalled, twice. I tried all the options in the safe mode dialog (disable addons, Reset Toolbars, etc).
