Firefox crashes on OS X 10.9.5 every time I start

My crash id is bp-51ececb4-d10e-4ca2-a115-7587e2150204
The problem is its getting rarer and rarer to start Firefox on OS X. Every time I click on Firefox the crash reporter comes up, Earlier I was able to start it in safe mode but not any more. I then tried refreshing Firefox and was able to start it last time, this time even Refresh fails to load up Firefox.
Needless to say that I have erased and reinstalled Firefox countless number of times, any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks :-)

Then you should be looking at the profile, not at the application.

Do you have any third-party toolbars installed? Some of those can cause problems.

Updated OS10.6.8, laptop has 2 user accounts and now Firefox crashes for only one of two users every time at start-up. Other user runs FF fine

Everything was running with 2 user accounts. Did sw updates incl. OS 10.6.8. Now the master account runs properly, including FF 12.0 however the 2nd account now crashes every time FF is launched. WIll not launch in safe mode either. This report is being submitted from the other account that still runs FF properly. Also downloaded FF to reinstal but a warning that I was installing OLDER version - even though I just downloaded the 'current' version. All this seems quite unexplainable! What's up???

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

On Mac OS - I'm debuggig a huge web application. Firefox crashes often flushes 10 MB image cache every time. How to restart with "filled" cache?

- Mac OS
- I'm debuggig a huge web application on https. When it starts, it downloads 10MB images.
- Firefox crashes often during debugging.
- Every time, it flushes the images frow the cache and downloads the 10MB again.
- I often work from different places and sometimes have rather slow internet connections so then this is really annoying for me
- Having a possibility to start Firefox in "Cache-Safe" mode for debugging would be perfect - when it crashes then, the cache should not be flushed completely but restored to the o.k. situation before entering the mode
- Any advice?

Please update to Firefox 25 before continuing, do you still have an issue there?

Why Firefox 5 opening the "What's new" page every time I start the browser?

I have Firefox betas since version firefox 4 beta 1, so when it's updated to version 5, I uninstalled firefox, and install the clean version 5 with my saved settings.
Everything went okay, started the browser and it searched for addon compatibility, opened up the What's new page. But now it is for every start, so it's very annoying.
I tried clean the mess but nothing changed.
How can i solve this? thanks, and sorry for my english

Every time I start up my computer and load firefox, the theme I was using is not showing up.

Every time I start up my computer and load Firefox, the theme I was using has gone back to the default one. The theme is still on my computer and it works if I change it back, I just don't know why it won't show up when I first load Firefox.

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Firefox Sync alerts "Incorrect password or username" every time it starts.

Every time I start Firefox, I get the following error message from Sync:
"Sync encountered an error while connecting:Incorrect account name or password. Please try again. [Preferences]"
In my about:log-sync, these lines appear:
<pre>Sync.Service DEBUG Exception: Login failed: error.login.reason.account No traceback available
Sync.Service DEBUG Not syncing: login returned false.</pre>

Turns out that my Sync password was not correctly saved in Firefox.
When I looked at my password saved in my Firefox profile (Options -> Security -> Saved passwords -> Show passwords) , some characters were different than the one I entered when I set up my account. For instance, there was an "©" instead of a "(".
I solved by it changing my password and using only "a-z" "A-Z" "0-9" characters.
(I filed a bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866586)

How do I stop one extra tab from opening every time I start Firefox?

Every time I open Firefox, my Yahoo homepage opens, but an additional page also opens which has a variety of website thumbnails and nothing else on that page.
In my Options, I have ONLY www.yahoo.com selected as my homepage, so only ONE page should be opening every time I start Firefox.
However, no matter what I do, this second page continues to open every time. It's very irritating, as half the time I've already begun to enter data into my homepage, then the second page pops up and switches to that and I'm typing on that page.
Please advise.

@jscher2000
Thank you!! That fixed the problem. The only add-ons I have are for my anti-virus software WebRoot, but somehow I must have installed Speed Dial without realizing it.
That fixed the problem. Greatly appreciated!!

Windows asks "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?" every time I start Firefox.

Neither my shortcuts nor my firefox.exe have Run As Administrator checked. And yet I get this prompt every time I start Firefox on my new laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

unchecking "Run this program as an administrator" under the Compatibility tab in the properties of the program was my first guess....darn.
Ok I understand that this is only happening in Firefox. If you start it in safe mode does this still happen? This will tell you if its an add on or a changed configuration:[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

An extension automatically installs every time i start firefox

An extension from local system automatically installs every time I start Firefox after PC restart. I tried to disable it, remove it, but again after restart, it appears there. My question is how to disable addition of extensions and plugins from local system and how to block an extension. Extension name is Apps Hat 0.93.32 by nero

Thanks @the-edmeister , but your answer not satisfies my question. I also asked about disabling addon installation from local system and block an extension forever in firefox

Changes made on firefox arent registered and need to change again every time firefox restarts.

Since I installed firefox on my new PC nothing seems to register. Every time I start it, it wants to give me a tour like the first time I installed it. Fond size on same pages change every time I open them. Change of the home page doesn't register, meaning after I change it on the options it will not remember it next time I restart the program.
On top of that, even though its shows that I am signed it for syncing, it actually does not sync anything from my older PC.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
and what it does.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues.
Open the '''Add-ons Manager <Control><Shift> A''' and '''disable All of them.'''
Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

Every time I start or close Firefox , Avira reports a malwaare problem.

Every time I start or close Firefox , Avira reports a malware problem. "A Virus or unwanted program 'HTML/Frame.tzt.3' was found in file 'C:\Documents and settings \Diane.DESKTOP\...\0CAEBd04'. "
I believe this began when I upgraded to Firefox 8.I have tried reinstalling Firefox 8, going back to Firefox 3.6, opening in safemode. Avira removes the file but warns again with each opening and closing. The warning does not appear with any other program or with IE. I am running XP.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

How do I fix: The Plugin Check comes up EVERY time I start Firefox, AND I've installed Adobe Acrobat over 3 times but it still shows up as outdated

I crammed the info into the subject line, but to repeat...
Every time I start Firefox, the Plugin Check runs. Every ... single ... time. Very annoying. How do I get this to stop?
AND
I installed Adobe Acrobat at least 3 times, but it still shows up as "outdated". Obviously, it only truly installed once, but I tried clicking the button in vain hope that that will fix it.
But really, I simply don't want the Plugin Check to start every time.
thx

Alas, I already tried setting it to False (read it online somewhere) and it doesn't work. Perhaps if you could give guidance on why the Adobe install isn't completing, that would solve the plug-in check issue... Fingers crossed.

The welcome screen is loading every time I start up Firefox (version 5)

I recently upgraded to version 5.
Every time I start Firefox up, the "welcome to Firefox" screen is loaded in a second tab. I don't want it to load every time. The first time I launched the program was enough.

Do you see a Last 7 days folder?
If not then older history has been deleted.<br />
Firefox 5 doesn't use a time limit to store history like previous Firefox 3 versions did.
