Firefox crashes in Win 7 continue in clean Win 8.1 install on a new drive

In addition to the Firefox crashes on an ongoing basis, I had BSOD system crashes once or twice a week in Windows 7. Did a clean install of Win 8.1 on a fresh drive and have the same issues. Drivers? Bad memory? Everything else works perfectly. Thanks in advance for any help.

Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

  • Drive crashed and can't install OS on new drive

    I recently installed a new HD in my Powerbook after the latter crashed. I am having problems when it comes to installing my OS. I have a grey disk that says it is a software restore installation disk for 10.2 and then i have 3 black upgrade disks for 10.3 I used the 10.3 disk to run disk utility and format my HD but I recieve an error saying that i am unable to use it to install the OS because I do not have an earlier version installed. I tried to boot up off of the grey 10.2 disk and try to run the install but it stops on the grey screen and the screen gets a crazy horizontal pattern and then everything just locks up. Can anyone help?

    Hi, Steve. I've seen several posts in the Powerbook discussions about PBs that were bought refurbished directly from Apple, or whose logic boards had been replaced by Apple with faster LBs (because LBs at the original speed were no longer available), that after the surgery would no longer start up from the discs that were originally shipped with them. I suspect that's what's going on in your case. In all likelihood you will need a retail full installer disc set for Panther or Tiger to get an OS installed on it.
    You might try contacting Applecare, especially if the PB is still under a warranty or extended protection plan. Describe the situation, and explain that you suspect the original gray disc no longer recognizes the Powerbook as the model for which it was designed because internal hardware components (particularly the LB) may have been changed during the refurb process. Tell them you'll be happy to return the discs that were packaged with the refurb (so they can inspect them for damage), if they'll send you a full Panther install set instead. See how far this gets you. If it doesn't work out, you can buy a Panther universal installer set inexpensively from AppleRescue. You shouldn't have to, of course, but this may be what it takes to get you going again without undue delay and annoyance.

  • FIREFOX CRASHES WHEN I OPEN IT TRIED TO UNINSTALL AND RE INSTALL BUT IT WILL NOT UNINSTALL AND STILL WILL NOT WORK

    EVERYTIME I TRY TO USE FIREFOX IT CLOSES IMMEDIATELY. I TRIED TO UNINSTALL IT BUT IT WILL NOT UNINSTALL.

  • Hard drive crashed.  How do I get the music from my iPod to the new drive?

    I have a 20GB iPod that I use with a Dell (XP) computer. The hard drive on the computer crashed and has been replaced with a new one. I don't have a backup of my library, but the iPod is up to date. Is there some way I can download the songs on the iPod back to the new hard drive to recreate the library and playlists as before?
    Thanks.

    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
    If none of these methods work, try CopyPod which also supports the transfer of videos from iPod to computer.

  • How do I download LION and do a clean install on a new disk?

    I have a brand new HD which has not yet been formatted.  I would like to download Lion and instead of updating my Snow Leopard OS disk I would like to do a clean install on this new drive.
    Do I first do a journaled format on the new drive...?  And if so how do I download LION from the APP store and pointn the install at the new target drive?

    How to Install Lion Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important - Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase and Download Lion from the App Store.
    E. If you want to make a bootable USB flash drive:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion. You can also use it to erase your hard drive and do a clean Lion installation.

  • Firefox crashed, will not reopen. Removed perhaps corrupted Firefox. Used Chrome to download new version. Still will not open. Mozilla Crash Reporter continues to come up. I hit open and it just continues to come up.

    My Firefox crashed. I got Mozilla Crash Reporter. It refused to reopen no matter how often I tried or re-booted. It continued to try to restore Tabs. So I used MS Control Panel Add/Delete Programs. I deleted it and then used Chrome to download a new version. But it continues to try to reopen tabs. I love Firefox in spite of it's repeated crashing .... often when I am saving pictures to my hard drive. I love the add-ons and extensions. How do I get around it's effort to restore Tabs? How do I get it to open? I don't care about the Tabs. My Thunderbird email address is [email protected] My OS is MS Windows XP. Please help, Gary

    no ID given

    Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
    One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
    '''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
    Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
    Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
    Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

  • Win 7 High Contrast makes Firefox Crash. Solution?

    I've been using Windows 7 about two weeks. I couldn't read the screen with either the Win7 or Win Classic themes. Things looked too washed out. I switched to a high-contrast theme. Every time I tweak that, however, Firefox crashes. It shows in Task Manager as "Not Responding" and I can't go to any open page. Is there a way to stop this? In fact, high contrast in Win 7 makes all my pages in FF render oddly. Can I get FF 3.6 to stop processing the high contrsast theme and render pages as they are supposed to be?
    Thanks.
    Ken

    Hi, Yes I think that Service Pack may have caused a glitch. Do you have Flash Player Installed in IE?
    When you say you Uninstalled Flash Player & Shockwave, are you speaking of Shockwave Player, or are you referring to Shockwave the plugin?
    Let me now on that and then we can proceed.
    Thanks,

  • Firefox crashes before starting in Win 8.1

    Was using Firefox then shut it down. Opened PhotoImpact Pro 13 and was using that when about 10 minutes later I reopened Firefox. It crashed without opening. Couldn't get it to start. Other browsers worked fine. Searched internet, tried resolutions like: Restarting PC, refreshing FIrefox, troubleshooting PC, starting Firefox in Safe Mode (wouldn't start), deleted Firefox, did clean reinstall, nothing worked. Even replaced wifi net connection with cable, in case wifi adapter was interfering somehow.
    I'm running Windows 8.1 64-bit.

    Hi, we're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #On the keyboard, press [Windows] [[Image:Windows key]] + [R]. This should bring up a Run window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, type '''%APPDATA%''' and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to solve firefox crashing and continuous "unresponsive script" messages?

    I've had this issue for a couple days now. When in firefox and having multiple tabs open, the tab that I am on will freeze and an "unresponsive script" message will come up. When I only have one tab open, the browser will shut down completely without any message. I have already tried disabling all of my plugins, allowing the script to run longer, restarting firefox, and even uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. None of these seem to work for me. Does this mean I have a virus? Are there any other things I can try or should I have this looked at?

  • Firefox crashes in safe mode after clean install

    Crash ID: bp-554928df-de36-4d6c-8965-d4bd02150127
    Hi, just recently my Firefox 35 has been crashing at launch even in safe mode on Mac Os X Mavericks 10.9.5 on a Mac Mini 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i5.
    I have tried:
    - deleting firefox and mozilla folders in Application Support
    - deleting org.mozilla.firefox.plist
    - uninstalling flash
    - reinstalling the browser
    - downgrading to Firefox 34
    and the crashes persist. I haven't had other problems with this computer.

    Looks like there was a slight increase in the number of crashes with this signature, however there is still not alot known about it.
    Would it be possible to see if this happens with nothing but Firefox open?
    Since it is a start up crash please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
    #'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it.
