Firefox crashes randomly and wont open at all on other users?

It crashes unexpectedly, it was happening before but i restored my windows xp back to factory and it still does it, i done this for a bsod by the way.
On one user it wont even load the internet and just says oops it crashed send a report over and over.
It worked fine for like 2 years!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Vtok on iphone4: i changed my gmail password and changed the same on my phone, but vtok wont respond and wont open at all! tell me what to do?

    i changed my password in gmail. then i changed the same in my iphone too. but vtok is not responding. i mea, its just not opening, giving a small flash n off! what am i supposed to do! do i have to delete n reinstall vtok everytime i change password!! or is it some bug in this app?

    If the old ID is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Firefox was set to open it its page and while changing that to google I mistyped coogle; it wont open at all now.

    Annoyed by the bouncing star which interfered with my concentration, I clicked on the firefox icon and changed my opening page to google. I typed in coogle by mistake. The page wont open at all because it cannot find coogle.What do I do now.?.

    Note that you can drag a tab or link on the toolbar Home button to set this page as the home page.
    You can use these steps to disable the snippets on the about:home page:
    * Set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string on the <b>about:config</b> page
    * Open about:home page in a tab
    * Open Web Console in this tab (Firefox menu button or Tools > Developer)<br />https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
    * Run this command via the command prompt: <b>gSnippetsMap.clear()</b>
    * Close the tab with the about:home page
    * Close and restart Firefox

  • Firefox closes and wont open on installing certain add ons

    I was using Firefox today and suddenly one of the add ons ( Download Helper ) started to be irresponsive. I tried to close firefox and reopen it and wont open. The icon flashes and goes away. I removed the app using Appzapper and downloaded and run a clean reinstall. Now, I went on to download all the add ons I used to have (Download Helper, Sage and few others) and restarted firefox and the symptoms reappeares. I tried to create a new profile and it didn't work. I used Safe mode to deactivate the plugins and it works, whenever one of them ( which I used to have before the problems ) is activated Firefox crashes. I went on to create a new Account and tried the same and it is working perfectly. So, can you tell me what I might have done wrong to cause this?

    Hello Pranav.
    If your Firefox is closing unexpectedly, see this support article:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes
    If you are unable to install add-ons, see this support article:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    Remember that if you have a problem with a specific add-on, you need to contact its author for support.

  • Windows 7 says new firefox 4.0.1. is corrupt and wont open or run

    I have Windows 7 on my laptop. I had to 'restore' after an intel update wouldn't allow an old exe game to play. I had updated firefox and explorer meanwhile even though I never use Explorer. When I restored firefox wouldn't open at all. When I tried to download new firefox, windows said file corrupt and wouldn't open when open anyway was selected. I now have loaded old firefox from thumb drive and downloaded update to 4.0.1 but Windows still says file corrupt and wont open.

    i recently updated my OS to Mint 11 64-bit, which has FireFox 4.0.1, was plagued with annoying crashes for no apparent reason.
    today i seem to have discovered the problem, i hope.
    through the software manager i installed flashplugin-installer, after that i opened the browser, went to the add-ons section, disabled the Shockwave Flash 10.3 - d162, restart.
    hasn't crashed since, crossing my fingers

  • Firefox crashed randomly when loading a youtube video, and after restarting firefox no flash programs would work on the browser

    I was watching a youtube video.
    Firefox crashes randomly.
    Restart Firefox
    Youtube videos don't load.
    Other websites that uses flash don't load.
    Tried upgrading to a newer flash, though 11.3 causes huge CPU usage for some reason so I upgraded to 11.2
    Videos still do not load.

    Hi,
    You can try to [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html uninstall] and install Flash again. If the problem persists you can also temporarily '''Disable''' Flash in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins''' and try the [https://www.youtube.com/html5 HTML5 videos] wherever possible. Most of the videos without embedded ads have HTML5 equivalents. You can also try to open the problematic sites in [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab-plus/ IE Tab +] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab/ IE Tab] inside Firefox.

  • FireFox doesn't fully close so whenever I reopen it refuses to open secure sites I had up when I closed it; it keeps thinking that the tab is already open and wont open another one. How do you fix this?

    Whenever I close Firefox and then reopen it later on it opens the last webpage I had open before closing the browser instead of my homepage. It seems that exiting Firefox doesn't fully shut it down and just puts it into hibernation mode. This has become a problem because when I have a secure webpage open when I close the web browser, without logging out of the page, and then try to go to that page again it thinks that it's already open and wont open another page for me. This means that I can't even navigate to the page to log out. I think it might be just a setting with Firefox 4 but not sure which one, any suggestions?

    For possible causes and solutions see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

    Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
    You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.
