Firefox crashes on linux mint 14

I am using firefox 30.0 on linux mint 14 - nadia. And, I am constantly experiencing sporadic crashes. About 5-6 time firefox crashes on my system. I have tried resetting the firefox, with add-ons disabled in the safe mode and also updated the flash plugin. But, still there is no improvement in my experience. I am still facing often crashes which has started to get quite annoying. Below, I am mentioning some of the crash IDs from last couple of days. Please have a look and if someone could tell me what is making firefox crash so often on my system and what could possibly be done to avoid that.

Firefox running under Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12 (KDE) won't install extensions for Firefox

Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12, KDE desktop
Firefox 10.0
Started up Firefox right after Mint was installed. On the add-ons page video download helper was shown as a featured extension and I installed it, then rebooted when prompted. After that, Firefox would never install another extension again. Just gives download error.
I google searched and in a forum I found a post about uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I tried it. First time I started it up, it installed video download helper again, but then would not install any other extension after that. I tried numerous extensions I '''KNOW''' are working in Firefox 10.0 because they are working in Firefox over on my Win 7. Everytime I get a download error, either from the addons site or from the Add-ons Manager in Firefox.
Someone told me on the Mint forums that I needed to add a subdirectory on a certain directory, so I did that. Didn't work.
It seems Ubuntu disables the root, or cripples it, and I guess Mint does too. You can still use sudo when doing things in Ubuntu (and Mint I would assume, since it's based on Ubuntu) but you can't get true 'superuser' access as I understand it. But, I don't think this would have any bearing on the problem, or my search of the Mint forums would have come up with all kinds of threads screaming about this.

Problem solved - it was caused by an add-on called "PDF Download 3.0.0.2)
To fix - in Firefox :
Click on '''Tools''' command (top of screen)
Select '''Extensions'''
click on "'''disable''' button beside '''PDF Download'''
Close Firefox and restart it.
Clicking on any pdf file should open a new tab now and the document will appear there.

Can't figure how to install Firefox 5 on Linux Mint.

Want to install Firefox 5. Have automatic updates with Linux Mint but never get an opportunity to update to newer editions of Firefox. Currently have 3.6.18. Have tried to install directly but not being experienced with this process I can't find useful information to walk me through the install. Have a 64 bit AMD system.

See above.

Firefox crashes after trying to launch

So, ever since the first time I used Firefox, this is the only time it has ever been rendered unusable.
I upgraded my system and, when I tried to launch Firefox, all it can ever do is crash before being able to load anything at all.
I'm not sure what Firefox version it is because I only used apt-get upgrade, didn't monitor the upgrade, and was never able to check it but I think, it's 10.0.2. My system runs on Joli OS 1.2, by the way.
Anyone who can help me, please.
Right now, I am getting by with Google Chrome and I am not enjoying how I am unable to use those add-ons I've always had.

May I suggest you look again at firefox crashes for instance it includes: 
You can't open Firefox because it crashes at startup even in Safe Mode: 
Go to ~/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports/submitted. 
In the resulting folder will be a text file for each crash report you have submitted. Using the View menu, arrange them by date to find out which is the newest file; and double-click on it to open it.
[[Firefox crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash]]_get-help-fixing-this-crash
N.B. use the selector button + so that you see the linux version from your XP 
linux version link -> [[firefox crashes#os=linux]]
(You will then need to reset the mozilla cookies on your xp so that, by default, it goes to Windows versions of kb articles again in future)

Linux Mint freezee because of firefox issues with big images

I had few system freezes recently. I am not sure what is the cause of it, but the last one happened when I tried to open image on this website:
http://www.wykop.pl/wpis/10937070/pojechalem-dzis-zobaczyc-co-to-za-dzielnica-dublin/
My whole system stop responding - both screens frozen, but I could still here sounds from kodi. Could not switch to second terminal.
I use the website on windows 7 firefox without issues. However I've got couple of freezes during upload or clicking on the images. Not sure what could cause the system to freeze, but firefox would be the process which took up to 100% of one core previously.
UPDATE:
Actually System freeze happened on google street view as well, so it is not website related.

I can't seem to get Firefox to update on my Linux Mint system???

First I have to say I'm a little tech challenged. I can't seem to get my Firefox to update to the latest version. I've tried the Help page and done the fixes to no avail. I also downloaded the latest version but my computer will not seem to do anything with it. My Linux Mint is currently up to date.
My Firefox does crash occasionally and I wind up having to shut the computer down manually. Linux restarts fine but sometimes it takes two or three tries to get Firefox up without crashing again...
Thanks

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

I tried to uninstall firefox and to install again on linux mint.Now firefox ask every time for a profile,i never make a profile before and this is a serious problem to me.Firefox can't open and work like before the uninstall

Hi,i am running linux mint.I tried to change the firefox folder from the file system with a new firefox folder cause i had a problem with one extension(download statusbar).So,after that i have problem,firefox ask me about profile and after some tests about it from me,firefox always says"this profile its allready in use,make a new profile or rename one profile".I don't know anything about profiles,first time i see that i can make a profile it's now.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

How can I get firefox-9.0b6.tar.bz2 to install in Linux Mint 10 Julia?

When I try to open/load the downloaded new version: firefox-9.0b6.tar.bz2 with the default Archive Manager in Linux Mint 10 Julia I get this error message:
"bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly; perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows. bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout) It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"
Perhaps it is also of note that I am running Linux from a thumbdrive through the USB port on my Asus EeePC.
=== What do I do so I can get firefox to work? This began because I can't get Adobe flash and gmail to work properly and realize (at least for gmail) I need to upgrade.

Can you open any other Firefox tar.bz2 archives?

How to ensure Firefox stays updated in Linux Mint 17 - Qiana

I happen to have dual OS, Windows OS 7 & Linux Mint 17 (Qiana). I love Linux Mint more than Windows 7. If only I could move away completely from Windows I would be the happiest person on the face of the earth. But unfortunately we're not there yet. e.g. under Windows Firefox tends to update itself, the moment new version is released by Mozilla. But the same doesn't occur with Linux Mint, instead it keeps on listing various error messages.
At present, under Linux Mint I'm using v33, which Linux Mint says is the latest. Whereas v34 is available on Mozilla site. If I've to update FF from 33 to 34, I've download it then either uninstall v33 + install v34 OR install v34 & hope that it overwrites v33 & hope there aren't two versions running on my OS.
Why can't it is capable to renew like in Mac or Windows, where I go to Help/About Firefox/Update (directly from that panel)?
By the time FF v34 is available for update under Linux Mint, there will be another version, which will obviously have more security patches.
One thing I want to clarify, I'm not here to blame any person or group, If I'm able to help I would love to, but this is beyond my expertise, so I'm just trying to raise the issue for the concerned expertise to work towards benefit of all the netizens. If you do have any runaround to this I would really appreciate the feedback. Also this is the first time that I'm voicing my concern, so if I've offended someone, even inadvertently - I apologise.
Thank you

Linux Mint controls the updates for their version of Firefox that comes with their operating system. It is controlled through their repository.
You could install the Linux - Firefox version that comes from Mozilla directly, to have updates done by Mozilla on the Mozilla schedule.

Shockwave doesn't work on firefox under linux mint 17, qiana

I use Firefox 33.0 Mozilla Firefox for linux Mint: mint - 1.0
I use linux mint 17, qiana. Cinnemon, 32-bit.
As extensions for Firefox I use Adblock Plus 2.6.6.
As plugins I use: DivX webplayer 1.4.0.233, Iced-Tea webplugin 1.5, OPenH264 video codec provoded by Cisco systems, Inc. 1.1, Quicktime plug-in 7.6.6. , Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.408, VLC Multimedia plugin (Compatible videos, 3.10.1), Windows Media Player plugin (compatible Videos 3.10.1)
When I surf on a page http://www.jkp.com/media/wysiwyg/MindReading/demo/content/dswmedia/loader.html
I get the information: "a plugin is needed to play this content"
Since this url was under a button "View shockwave Demo" on page http://www.jkp.com/uk/mindreading/demo/ I presume that the pluging that is needed is a "Shockwave Flash" plugin, but I have installed that.
So what do I have to solve the problem?

It is looking for the Shockwave (director) player and not the Flash player.
Adobe does not provide Shockwave player for Linux, only on Mac OSX and Windows. Besides it is more for few games and learning stuff and it used very little compared to the Flash Player for most users.
As you can see it is only for Windows and Mac OSX.

Note that keyboard shortcuts do not work if a plugin (media player) has focus, so you can try to click elsewhere on the web page or in the user interface to see if that helps.

Firefox cannot modify the needed file. I get this message when I try to add a theme. I am using Linux Mint 14.

I am currently using Linux Mint 14 with Firefox 21. I am trying to add new themes and add ons, but I keep getting the message "firefox cannot modify the needed file in linux". How can I correct this?
Thanks

Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu. Go to Open Profile Directory (or something similar) and delete a file named user.js

Firefox Hello with camera upside down (with linux Mint 17)

Hello, I'm running Firefox 36.0.1 and I tried the new Hello addon. Unfortunately my camera appears upside down. This was the same problem I had using Skype and I had to update libv4l and than worked. Now for Skype it's still working but for Hello the problem is back. (I'm using linux Mint 17)
Any suggestion?

Hi,
I asked in the mozilla irc channel #media and had some help:
the app_name should just be "firefox"
/usr/bin/firefox
However it was noted also that this looks "like a driver/lib issue. So it probably works for any program which accesses the camera (as long as the program hasn’t the libv4l build in)."
