Firefox crashes at startup or shortly after

Hi
Whenever I open Firefox 31 (on mavericks) it crashes at startup or after browsing a minute or two. Already tried:
- disabled HW acceleration
- disabled add-ons
- re-installed ff
- deleted profile
problem still exists. I get the following error message:

can anyone help? thanks

Hi Cominottom,
Thank you for your question, this is a response to the "escalate" tag. I understand that Firefox crashes on a specific website and that you have removed java, disabled hardware acceleration, have tried a new profile and disabled extensions and removed faulty RAM.
The only hint is the signature, and the line it breaks in is when the page is getting the boolean info of the SVG. However there are no svg elements on the page. However the page does require javascript. I am wondering if it has to do with the graphic drivers, since there was an update to your hardware. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Just an observation:
The previous config for the Raedon was:
layers.acceleration.force-enabled = true
gfx.direct2d.force-enabled = true
where currently you have :
gfx.blacklist.direct2d: 3
gfx.blacklist.layers.direct3d9: 3
layers.acceleration.disabled: True
Can you try to create a new profile for the new hardware set up to see if there is an improvement? [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
Looking forward to your reply!

  • FIrefox repeatedly crashes at startup or just after opening a webpage

    Firefox repeatedly crashes on startup or just after opening a new page, I've tried downgrading my browser to FF 18 & the problem still occurs. Firefox won't even run properly in safe mode. I have included the latest crash report: bp-d8715a6c-6208-4420-8df4-cae752130307

    Hi Spirax, if your new profile works after a restart or two, you may want to start back up in your old profile and use the Reset feature. This is a lot easier than manually copying data to your new profile, although that is another option.

  • Firefox crashes on startup

    Here's the deal.
    From one day onto the next, out of the blue, Firefox (version 18.0.1) refuses to start up.
    I get the crash reporter screen as soon as Firefox tries to start, stating that firefox has crashed.
    If I click on "Details" nothing happens.
    If I click on "Restart Firefox" I immidiately get the next Crash Reporter screen.
    No Windows updates were installed, and no Firefox updates either from what I can tell.
    I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit with SP1 btw...
    So I tried starting firefox in "Windows Compatability mode" using Windows XP SP3.
    Now Firefox starts, including all plugins, without any problems.
    I can also start firefox in "Safe mode" by holding down the SHIFT key when double-clikcing on the firefox icon.
    So while in safe mode, I typed about:crashes in the URL bar witch showed the following:

    (in the mean time, I have a whole lot more :( )
    So then (still in Firefox safe mode) I went into the Add-ons Manager and uninstalled all Extensions.
    Then I disabled all plugins (which btw are all up to date according to Firefox itself):
    Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.110.21 10.11.2.21
    Java(TM) Paltform SE 7 U11 10.11.2.21
    Adobe Acrobat 11.0.1.36
    Shockwave Flash 11.5.205.146
    Silverlight Plug-In 5.1.10411.0
    VLC Web Plugin 2.0.2.0
    Wacom Tablet Plugin 2.1.0.2
    Then I closed Firefox, but when trying to start Firefox again in normal mode, it crashed again.
    I have also tried uninstalling Firefox completely, then running a registry cleaner to make sure everything was really gone.
    Then downloading and installed Firefox 18.0.1 again.
    But as soon as it started it crashed again.
    I again uninstalled Firefox, ran the reg-cleaner but this time I installed Firefox version 9 (which I still had on a backup drive), but this version too, crashes on startup.
    And I had the same with version 15 which I also still had on the backup drive.
    But whichever version I install, they all crash at startup unless I start them in compatibility mode or safe mode.
    I even uninstalling all the programs which had a plugin embeded in the browser, so there were no plugins left.
    And again, uninstalled Firefox and reinstaled it. But still Firefox crashes at startup.
    And finally I even updated my graphics drivers and followed this thread:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration#os=win7&browser=fx18
    Since I've done everything I can think off, I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be.
    So if anyone has any idea, please let me know.
    I hate to switch browsers, and I don't want to run things in "compatability mode" just to have it working, because it did work before.
    in the mean time, here are some more crash reports:

    Just a small update...
    I tried running a portable version of Firefox which I had on my USB stick... same problem.
    The same goes for my TOR Browser (which uses Firefox too), it too crashes when the embedded Firefox is started.
    Both however, have always worked just fine on the same system and still work fine on any other system I have.
    ---edit---
    Well I finished uninstalling and removing everything Firefox related on my system (also ran the reg-cleaner again).
    I downloaded and reinstalled Firefox 18, but it still crashes.
    I ran it in safe mode, disabled the hardware acceleration, and ran it again in normal mode...
    guess what... it works again!
    The weird thing is, I already tried disabling the hardware acceleration but it didn't work.
    So why it works now? I haven't got a clue.
    The other weird thing is... why did this problem occur in the first place... There have been no changes to my system, no updates, nothing.
    Ah well, I guess I'll never know. But at least it's working again.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Firefox crashes on startup and we've tried all your solutions but none work

    Firefox crashes when I double click the icon. I have gone through all the fixes on the website with no improvement. I am able to get it to open only when I right click and use the run as administrator option. I have reinstalled firefox, changed profiles, and tried safe mode option. All had the same effect firefox crashed on startup. I have run four different malware removal programs and restarted the computer, still crashes. I also ran my antivirus program last night and still crashes. I turned off the firewall and still crashes. I tried also the reset option in troubleshooting options but still crashes. Firefox worked fine till yesterday then java updated and the crashes started occurring, I have also done a system restore to before java updated but still crashes.
    here is the crash report information.

    Sorry it took so long for me to reply back to you, things around here got crazy with work and home life and I just had a chance this morning to get the crash report.
    Here is the latest report ID from the computer.

    hello, this crash is caused by Websense Endpoint security software that is running on the system. please try to install all the updates for this program that are available...

  • Firefox crashes on startup and prompts me to enter Safemode. I then uninstalled it (version 19.0) and now Safemode itself will not open.

    Prior to attempting to uninstall version 19.0 and reinstall it, Safemode was working and usable. After reinstalling version 19.0 Firefox will crash during start up as it did before, and ask me to open in Safemode. Safemode will then crash/not open and the bug report service will open. Clicking "Restart" just opens up another bug report service windows on top of the first one. Clicking "X" or "Quit" does not, allowing me to exit the service window. Firefox's inability to be used properly began shortly after the latest windows update (installed during shutdown/next restart) around 1 AM on (I think) February 27th or 28th. I have not tried installing an older version. I did try to run the 20.0 Beta version, but I encountered the exact same problems. This is the only error code available to me, despite sending at least 5 or more. "bp-b4a3d0ce-8747-46a9-9c04-efc892130302"
    This error code "bp-f6520eaa-36e4-4098-a2a0-c61c32130302" has replaced the previous one after I tested the 20.0 beta version.
    Hope that helps.

    hello, this crash is related to your graphics hardware & a recent windows update. please start firefox in safemode (by pressing the shift-key while it is launching) & go to ''firefox > options > advanced > general'' & disable hardware acceleration.

  • Firefox crashes during startup

    Hi,
    My Firefox (v18.0b7 version) needed for specific web application accesses) suddenly crashes during startup.
    I've tried remove/install again, same behaviour. creating new profile changes nothing.
    Crash id : bp-880858a9-1110-4907-939b-a33e22141114
    Could you help?
    Thanks,

    OK, apparently something has been broken with my Software Center. Version 28.0 is pretty old, after all.
    So I just launched Update Manager and updated everything to 14.04.1.
    Now Firefox runs and displays 32.0 in its "About" dialog.

  • Firefox crashes at startup

    I have always used Firefox on my W7 laptop, but following the 37.0.1 update Firefox always crashes at startup. I have tried most of the recommended 'fixes' (full antivirus checks, fresh install etc) but not those relating to Safe Mode as the crashes don't let me get that far. I have tried using the 'Shift + FF Start' technique but Firefox still crashes . 37.0.1 works fine on my old XP desktop and on my W7 VM XP mode so I'm at a loss what to do next.
