Firefox crashes or freezes when Yahoo messenger is open

So I just updated to the most recent version a few days ago, and have been forced to use IE because I can't keep firefox open while Yahoo messenger is open, which always is because I stay on there in case someone needs to contact me. I may just try installing an older version until this problem gets resolved, but was hoping for some input.

I've noticed the crashing increasing with the newer versions. The worst thing is when I'm writing a long email and then go to a page with flash and ff locks up and then crashes. I use IE now for most flash content or mission critical emailing but IE's interface is poorly laid out so I don't like it. I've tried FF with the plugin container and without it and it crashes either way (more often without the container). I use adblock and firebug. I wonder if ppl experiencing this prob are using those plugins too.

  • Firefox crashes most often when Yahoo is running or sometimes in midst of navigating a site and will not send an error report to Mozilla, what to do?

    Frequently I have the aarp game site open and Yahoo open. At times Mozilla crashes and will not send an error message, simply brings up the restore screen. When asked to restore it never restores if Yahoo is up, Firefox just closes. At other times Yahoo may not be up but if I have two other sites up it may just dump my internet connection. Again, no opportunity to send error message. I really like a lot of the features with Firefox but the crashing is driving me crazy. A friend has had the same problem but is now just using internet explorer. I

    Make sure that you haven't left a profiles.ini file.

  • Firefox crashed and now when I try to open it, all it ever says is session restore and not responding. How do I stop this?

    When I downloaded the latest version about a week ago, this started. Any time it is opened, it goes to session restore. When I click anywhere on the screen, the tab says not responding.

    Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

  • Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents

    Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents. Particularly, when I need any flash content. It freezes up so that the only option will be to force quit the firefox.

    If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more crash reports that have this format:
    *bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mozilla_Crash_Reporter
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Mozilla+Crash+Reporter
    If you can't open Firefox then see:

    Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    *C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 17.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • Numbers freezes when I attempt to open a file from the iCloud

    Hello,
    My Numbers app for my iMac freezes when I attempt to open a spreadsheet file from the iCloud.  These same files open fine on my iPad, and I make sure to close Numbers on my iPad before I attempt to open the file on my iMac, but it makes no difference.  The app freezes, and I have to manually force stop the Numbers process.  Any help would be appreciated.

    How do I get the dock to recognize the latest numbers version I have.
    Go to the Applications folder, find Numbers 3 and drag it to the dock. It will then look like the lower icon here (the one with the 4 columns). 
    Another way is, if Numbers 3 is already open, to right-click the icon in the Dock and choose 'Keep in Dock' under 'Options':
    You can drag the icon with the three columns off the Dock if you don't want to open Numbers 2 from the Dock.

  • Accidentally deleted firefox "profiles.ini" and now says firefox is already running when I try to open it.

    Accidentally deleted firefox "profiles.ini" and now says firefox is already running when I try to open it. "a copy of firefox is already open. only one copy of firefox can be open at one time. Now I'm aware this happens often and people have posted solutions to this, but this situation is slightly different. The "profiles" that possibly had parental lock on it were deleted and I don't know how to get it back. Re-downloading firefox obviously does nothing. Opening the task manager and to try and close all mozilla/firefox files and apps doesn't work either. Tried using Onyx to turn invisible files visible but that didn't work either. I think it's cause I deleted the profiles. Suggestions?

    Any chance of restoring that profiles.ini file via the Time Machine?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
    If not then you need to use the Profile Manager to re-register that no longer recognized profile.<br />
    You do that by creating a new profile and use Choose Location to point the your lost profile.

  • Ai CS4 keeps freezing when I try to open a file - HELP!!!

    Mac OS X Tiger - Ai CS4 freezes when I try to open a file from either dbl-clicking on the file or opening within Ai. This happened all the time with Ai CS3 so I upgraded, now its happening with the new version. Do I need to allocate more memory to Ai?  If yes, how do I do that? I worked when I first installed, but now it will not allow me to open any of my files.  I do not receive an error message, and I have to force quit the app after it freezes. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Download OnyX, clean out your system caches and repair permissions. If it occurs in eitehr version of AI, it hardly qualifies for the usual trash the prefs, but of course that is never wrong, too...

    Firefox crashed and after restarting, tabs i had open were gone and weren't in the history either. It didn't give me the option of restoring, how do i get them back?

    Sorry , you probably can not get them back.
    You may have bookmarked them, or have them as part of the History previously stored and still searchable, but unfortunately otherwise you are unlikely to get them back. Firefox does to a certain extent back up bookmarks automatically but not the history.

    You can't upgrade to iOS 7 you can only upgrade to iOS 7.1.
