Firefox crashes - No crash dump file - No longer works

For some reason, I've had a few problems with Firefox recently. The latest is that each time I try to load it, it crashes straight away, occasionally letting me send an error report, others not. It always comes up with an error that states: Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. Unfortunately the crash reporter is unable to submit a crash report. Details: The application did not leave a crash dump file.
I've tried restarting my computer in safe mode to see if it works then, but it is coming up with the same error. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, yet nothing has helped at all. I've also got problems opening Chrome and Safari, and now Explorer seems to be the only browser that works on my computer. I've downloaded malwarebytes by recommendation from a family member, yet that isn't finding any viruses/malware on my computer. As that's what I initially thought it could be. As I'm unable to open Firefox at all, I'm unable to obtain any previous crash ID's. I do have the details that come up in the 'Details' box when Firefox says that it has crashed, but unsure whether that would help establish any sort of information to help with the issue. I'm not that technically minded, so if someone could help me out with it, I'd really appreciate it.
I'm stuck using Opera, and it was alright for a while, but now I'm getting annoyed that Firefox isn't working at all. It won't even open.
I really would appreciate the help!

Do you have Roboform installed?
Do you have a SSO (single sign on) extension installed?

Hyperlinks to local files no longer work

Hyperlinks to local files no longer work in Adobe Reader 11.0.1, but they did prior to the update. We have verified this on multiple machines.
We create a document in Word, add multiple relative links to other files on our local computer, and save as a PDF. The links worked in previous versions, but no longer work in 11.0.1. Does anyone else have this problem?
Links to external websites still work, it's only the links to other local files. We also tried opening the same file in Foxit Reader, and the links worked just fine. Only appears to happen in Adobe Reader 11.0.1.
This is a real pain in the ___!

Hi efrancen,
What exactly happens when you click on the hyperlink. Does it give a message that target was not foud. Can you share the PDF or this taget hyperlink.

JRockit Crashes with empty dump file.

---Symptom:
JRockit creates an empty dump file and dies without fully starting
Dump file looks like this:
     [user@computer some_dir]$ cat jrockit.25058.dump
     ===== BEGIN DUMP ===============================
     [user@computer some_dir]$
---Cause:
ulimit -s 2048
This limits the stack size which apparently causes problems for JRockit.
This limit had been set to workaround a known issue in the Sun JVM.
---Workaround:
Use system default stack size or a size larger than 2048.
---Environment:
Java:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)
BEA WebLogic JRockit(TM) 1.4.2_04 JVM (build ari-31788-20040616-1032-linux-ia32, Native Threads, GC strategy: parallel)
OS:
Linux DL580 2.4.21-15.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Apr 22 00:18:24 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Bandas,
The crash most likely happens because you have very little memory left on your system.
In the dump you can find the following message:
"C Heap : 3 memory allocations have failed"
This indicates that three malloc have failed internally. Given additional information in the dump it looks like an allocation did fail during garbage collection internally within the JVM that caused this crash. We have been working at improving the error message on these kinds of complete out of memory situations.
The best thing you can do is to reduce the java-heap size which will make more native memory available.
Another thing you can try if you haven't is to boot up windows in /3GB mode which will give JRockit access to the an additional 1GB of memory. (Your machine seem to have 3GB+ memory so booting Windows with the /3GB switch will allow JRockit to take advantage of that memory)
I hope this helps

My iPhone apps keep crashing and my sleep button no longer works

So my apps keep crashing when I try to open them; everything from games to my email. My sleep/power button no longer works so I can't even shut it down to restart it. I don't know if I should just let the battery die and hope that by rebooting it will work again? Doesn't really make sense why they won't open anymore.

AAC files no longer work

I have 865 AAC files which no longer work.
These are in iTunes but no longer play. Can't really say when they quit but noticed it tonight and went thru them all.
If I view them in the Finder, they don't play with Quicklook or by preview in the Finder window.
No other application will play them (VLC, QuickTime).
In the Finder, it shows them as an MPEG-4 Audio File. The extension is .m4a, which is an AAC.
Icon is correct.
In iTunes, when I get info, everything is on the left side of the Summary tab but right side is blank. It should have the Profile, channels and Encoded with: (iTunes and QT version).
Looking at file properties in VLC, everthing except the name is blank (arist, genre, etc.).
Bit rates are different (128, 160, 192, 256 VBR).
Dates added and modified are from 2005 to a few weeks ago.
Single songs to whole albums.
Some iTunes DRM, some iTunes plus and some imported from CDs.
I'm running 10.5.7 on the internal drive and my iTunes folder is on another drive on a 10.4.11 partiton.
I have copies of these files on another drive and comparing them in the Finder, they have the same creation and mod dates. They are the same number of bytes.
The only difference is one works and one doesn't.
Ran Disk First Aid and Permissions repair on both drives.

Not in figuring out what happened.
I copied the files from a backup drive to the original drive replacing the files and everything works fine.
Okay now, here's something really whack.
I had dumped all the files into the trash but have not empied it yet.
I installed 10.5.8 yesterday and it works great.
However, now looking at the song files in the trash, they all play correctly with Quick Look (spacebar).

Just upgraded to Firefox 10. Google Finance charts no longer work. They do work in IE. Updated Adobe Flash player to latest. IE works. Firefox 10 doesn't.

Just upgraded to Firefox 10 on a Window7 64 bit PC. Google Finance charts no longer work. Checked the web for similar. Updated to latest compatible Adobe Flash player 32 bit as suggested. Flash player works. I can see finance charts in IE, but not Firefox 10. I can see finance charts on Yahoo in Firefox, but not Google finance charts. Main chart at google.com/finance is displayed. Individual stock charts don't.

Download Adobe Flash Player installer 10.3.183.7 (2.94 MB)
* http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''
* Close Firefox (click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Exit''')
* Open the '''install_flash_player.exe''' file, then follow the installer's instructions.
-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down the '''Option''' key while starting your Mozilla Firefox application. (If the Profile Manager opens, select a profile and then hold down the '''Option''' key again while clicking the button to start Firefox.)
* As an alternate method, go to Utilities (in the Applications folder) and open Terminal, then run:
** /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -safe-mode
-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click '''Continue in Safe Mode'''
-> go to a website that uses Flash player:
* http://www.youtube.com/
* http://movies.yahoo.com/
Check and tell if its working while you are Browsing in Firefox Safe Mode.

I used to use a bookmark for maximizing the firefox window, but in FF9 it no longer works.

Before upgrading, I used the following snippet of code in the "Location" field of a Bookmark:
javascript:self.resizeTo(screen.availwidth,screen.availheight);self.moveto(0,0);
However, with FF9 that no longer works. I attempted to change the front portion (before the open parenthesis) to:
browser.window.resize_to
but after I remove focus from the text box, it adds the "http://" to the front of the code and a "/" to the end of it. I have two questions:
#1. Is there a way to stop Firefox from adding the "http://" and "/" to the location box?
#2. Is there a better way to set up the bookmark (or another quick-access method) to automatically resize the window?

You can only do that in the Scratchpad if an XUL window like about:addons or about:config is open.
*Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad (Shift+F4)
You can no longer run JavaScript code via the location bar in Firefox 6 and later. 
You can see an error message in the Tools > Error Console. 
That code now gets a null principal for security reasons and doesn't have any effect (Bug 656433). 
You need to create a (keyword) bookmarklet and run the code by invoking that bookmark. 
Use the Scratch pad (Firefox > Web Developer > Scratchpad; Shift+F4) to run JavaScript code. 
Open a tab with an XUL page like about:addons (Tools > Addons) to be able to resize or move a window via JavaScript code in the Scratchpad in Firefox 9+.

After updating to Firefox 3.6.13 saved passwords no longer work

Prior to updating to 3.6.13 saved usernames and passwords worked as they should (those fields were automatically filled in). Now after installing 2.6.13 most saved login info will not fill in upon entering the web site. I can go to tools, options, security, saved passwords and all are still listed, yet do not work. I have deleted a couple thinking Firefox would then ask to save login data for that same site, but it doesn't. I tried reverting back to my previous version of 3.5.16 bur saved passwords will no longer work there either.
It seems as if Firefox doesn't see the saved info.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Old .idx files no longer working

Old .idx files (index files) that worked with Reader 9 no longer work with Reader XI. Because of this, I have not upgraded beyond Reader 9, but I love the new XI. Is there any way of converting the old .idx file so that they will work in XI? (is there a simple upgrade tool?)

Latest iPhoto, v.9.5. New Library: same result. But all files that iPhoto balks at ('sees' them, but warning exclamation point and not opened) open happily in Preview.
(A thought: maybe I should try Loom. But iPhoto really should be able to handle these files if Preview can.)

Cr2 files no longer work

All of my cr2 files no longer open in camera raw. This is roughly 1000 files.
The setup used to take these 1000 cr2 files was a Canon T3i in conjunction with Capture One and a tethered USB cable.
Suddenly today not a single file can be opened in ACR. I usually just drop the .cr2 file on CS6 in dock and it opens camera raw. I now get the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.". If I instead go open cs6 > file > open > enable: camera raw > open.. it says the same thing.
I haven't change anything in my setup. Same camera, same tethered cable, same Capture One...
Even if I did change something, it shouldn't affect the cr2 files I generated 6 months ago?

When I go Help > About Plug-ins > Camera Raw I do not see "About Plug-Ins".

.avi files no longer work in quicktime

hi. I recently reinstalled Mac OS X 10.4.11 and now .avi files don't work work in quicktime player. The timer along the bottom still counts what looks to be the right time, but there is no sound or picture, except with other file types, it seems (or at least with .mpg 's it's OK, they're the only file types I've tried) I've got VLC player, so it's obviously not a massive inconvenience, but it's irking me and I wondered if anyone could help me out.

You probably need to download and install Perian from http://perian.org/

In Firefox, using gmail, 'Attach Files' no longer works.

Am using FF 31.0, and when entering gmail I can no longer use the 'Attach Files' button after composing an email. I can drag and drop, but when sending jpgs it fills the recipients window with large graphics - which isn't useful.
Logging into Chrome or IE and it works just fine - so I know it's solely a FF issue. Have also tried it on another PC with exactly the same response, so I know it's not my PC either. I've tried with all addons disabled, no difference, and the other PC isn't running any addons anyway.

Try allowing pop up windows
Open Menu
Options
Content (on the top)
Click Exceptions...
Type mail.google.com in address of website area
Click Allow
Try to open attachment window now.
Restart FireFox and try adding attachment again.

System crash; data recovered; screen saver no longer works 10.3.9

My iMac crashed last Fri and finally today the dealer received the hard drive and recovered my data.
So far all is working EXCEPT my screensaver which used to work beautifully with OS X 10.3.5.
I DID update things including a OS X Update Combined" (10.3.9):
Installed "Apple Remote Desktop Client" (1.2.4)
Installed "iSync" (1.5)
Installed "iPhoto Update" (2.0.1)
Installed "Java 1.4.2 Update 2" (1.4.2 Update 2)
Installed "Security Update 2004-09-16" (1.0)
Installed "iCal" (1.5.5)
Installed "iPod Updater 2006-01-10" ((null))
Installed "iTunes" (6.0.4)
Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.3.9)
Installed "Security Update 2004-10-27" (1.0)
Installed "Security Update 2005-002" (2.0.0)
Installed "Security Update 2005-004" (1.0)
Installed "Java Update for Mac OS X v10.3.9" (1.0)
Installed "Java Security Update" (4.0)
Installed "Safari Update" (1.3.1)
Installed "iTunes Phone Driver" (1.1)
Installed "QuickTime" (7.0.4)
Installed "Safari Update" (1.3.2)
Installed "Security Update 2006-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0)
The problem is twofold:
1 - sys pref > desktop & screen saver > desktop
this option still allows me to select my picture folder, but no longer scrolls through the subfolders of pictures
2 - sys pref > desktop & screen saver > screen saver
while I CAN select my picture folder, i get a "looking for slides" message and finally after about maybe 20 seconds the first picture in the folders appears but when the screen saver is activated, I only get a black screen
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you -
Pat

I just noticed that the Shell screensaver has the same issue of taxing my CPU to nearly 200%. Very frustrating!!!

HT1420 My laptop crashed and I have authorized another laptop. I want to deauthorize the "crashed" computer but it is no longer working. All I can find is how to deauthorize "this" computer. Any way I can do that?

I need to deauthorize a crashed laptop that is no longer usable. I can only find how to deauthorize "this" computer. Can anyone help?

You need to use the Deauthorize All function. Remote individual deauthorization of a crashed computer isn't possible, and remote deauthorization of a working computer requires VNC access to it.
