I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

Firefox crashes and when attempting to launch after the crash it won't and throw and error msg that js.3250 can't be found- but same file is in Mozilla directory. I must then download new 3.6.8 and lose all tabs.

# Question
Firefox crashes and when attempting to launch after the crash it won't launch; throwing an error msg that " js.3250 can't be found" - but same file is in Mozilla directory.
I must then download new 3.6.8 and lose all tabs and history.

I have a similar problem. Recently my FF8 has been crashing a lot. It regularly locks up an entire core of my PC and often just shuts down. It has just done it a moment ago and when it started back up it did the whole "this is embarrassing" thing and asked me if I wanted to reload my tabs. I deselected the one that I was trying to view as I suspected that it may have been the cause (unlikely; it was node4.co.uk) but anyway, let's skip it just in case. Click on the button to restore and up pops my homepage only. So all of my other tabs, which I was using for work incidentally, are gone.
This is not the first time this has happened on FF8. It happened a lot recently on FF6 I think it was (so hard to keep track now, Mozilla) and I switched to Chrome as a result, but it turns out that it crashes even more than FF6 did. FF7 was a vast improvement but FF8 is so unstable/unpredictable for me at the moment that I think I'd rather use IE9 than this. It's driving me mental, clearly! I wish I could kill the process manually and have it retry restoring tabs. Hey, there's an idea Mozilla; give us a menu item that allows us to restore the session to how it started to try again or at the very least get a list of the pages we were looking at. They don't show up in Recently Closed Windows and the Restore Previous Session is greyed out too. Gah! Help!

These are from Jan 27 and 26. Nor are these all my crashes; I get angry and don't always send them. Any suggestions would be helpful as I make my living as a free lance writer and I can't write much with the laptop down. I am using an ancient Satellite A-135 if that makes any difference. TA Conti.

Alright, well what I recommend doing is a fresh install of Firefox.
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer
Sometimes I can walk away from the computer and only have one tab open (e.g. Facebook) and when I come back to the computer a few hours later, Firefox has crashed for no reason.

Unfortunately the linked crash report is empty (@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump) and doesn't include any data, so it is not possible to find the cause of the crash.
Did you recently submitted other crash reports that were submitted and show a crashing thread?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Firefox crashing repeatedly, usually when opening a webpage

For a few weeks now I've had problems with Firefox crashing on me. I did have version 6, I believe, but I downgraded to version 3 in the hopes that it would be more stable. I am still having the problem in 3 (I did try going back to 6 briefly, but the crashing happened again almost immediately). I've tried troubleshooting it myself, but I just don't know what is causing the crashes. I've updated all of my plugins. For me, the crashes happen most when I am going to a new webpage, either in the same or in a new tab. It seems that midway through the page loading, it triggers the crash. This happens in a diverse range of webpages, from Twitter to a Wordpress blog to the main page of Google. It usually will crash a few times in a row (I try to restore the session) and then stabilize again, but then will crash again a few hours later. The only thing to have changed recently that may be causing it is some firewall settings on my computer (I'm using Firefox on a work computer). If you could help me, I would really appreciate it.

Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".
That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Firefox crashes immediatly when I click the "upload images button" in Joomla. What is the problem?

To solve the problem I deleted and installed FF again. Some problem.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Kernel panic when i upload pictures from a 2nd account

Hello,
I have a imac just over a year old.
My daughter tried to upload pictures to facebook from her user account and got a kerenl panic message. this happens every time she tries to upolad to facebook.
I tried the same upload from my account (admin) ans from my wifes account and had no problem uploading the pictures.
I did get a kernel panic once on my account during an online game, once about a month ago.
I have run disk genius, cocktail, repaired permissions, and repair disk.
And nothing has helped
Ive looked at the crash log but cant tell what is what.
Is their anything I can do to fix this problem?
Thank You for any help.
PB

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
First because FB uses Java to go Safari/Preferences and select the Security tab. Where you see; Web content Make sure the top 3 buttons are checked.
Next, go here for help to install the Facebook plugin now required for uploading images.
http://www.facebook.com/help/?ref=pf#!/help.php?page=830
Go here to make sure the Facebook plugin is installed, go to ~/Libraryy/Internet Plug-Ins/ and make sure this file is there: fbplugin1_01.plugin.
Make sure you are running the latest version of Safari. From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/About Safari. It should be 4.0.4 If not, click the Apple Menu/Software Updates to bring your system sofware up to date.
Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Mozilla Firefox crashes repeatedly in ubuntu 12.04 desktop version now what to do to solve this problem?

Mozilla Firefox 20.0 crashes repeatedly
I had tried by disabling cookies, addones uninstall & reinstall firefox completely
after that problem still exists.
at anytime it crashes. & we have to restart Firefox.

* It could be helpful if there is a diagnostic program/add-on which control all
installed add-ons.
* It could even be helpful If I can type/write more as 1500 characters in a
message, because I have to tell my story (Mozilla problems) and I want to
place the output of the 'terminal' (Sessionstore) in the same message.
* It even shall be helpful if there is a list (like in the early days of the Windows-
browser), where I can find the description and/or the solution of the Firefox- errors. My terminal give me p.e. this output : (firefox:10353): Gtk-CRITICAL
**: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion `targets != NULL' failed;
Firefox: 10353 says me nothing, so..... there are errors enough, but the
crashes don't come from the browser. I have taken all steps, my last is to
re-install FF24 about:blank, vdpau.... e.s.o
* If I place a message here I can only put a picture-file, not a text or Gedit-file.

Custom plugin crashes repeatedly when closing tabs

Hello,
Our company has a custom plugin which we install onto firefox in order to connect to its API.
lately a customer complained that our plugin is crashing repeatedly. all i have to go on is this crash report for now:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ff38c405-4289-4b72-a82d-fd67a2141208#rawdump
can anyone help with this?

The first crash reported seems to be crashing in visual studio. If you are using this to create a website, try a new profile to see it has to do with the interaction with your plugins. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] though if they are needed, this might not work. Disable the plugin [plugin PageHook Version:6.0.0.0 Filename:nppagehook.dll ] as this was reported as the culprit of the crash.
A bug has just been filed for this the second crash and will need further investigation. However it does look like it is crashing in the plugin operation. It is it possible, can you please try to disable you plugins to see if it crashes again.
Since this also happens when closing tabs and the first crash is hanging please see these steps to prevent hangs: [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]

Firefox crashes, then when restarts, it doesn't go to the page where it crashes. It is blank, so I have to reboot

Firefox is crashing but restarting to a blank page. I then have to start all over again. Information on the crash is sent to Firefox on the crash, but it doesn't explain why it is not reopening to the place where the crash occurred. I am not getting the message that sorry we can't open this window and that shows the open tabs that can be closed.
Recently upgraded to the 10.0.2 and this is when it started doing this.
The help information doesn't say why FF is not reopening.

Hey Bridgette,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

The first time I try to load video on BBC website, firefox crashes. When I restart it, the video loads. This happens EVERY TIME I start a new internet session. WHY?

I am using a mac, and every time I turn it on, load the BBC website on firefox and then try to load a video there, firefox crashes. I select restart from the two options provided, and when it reloads the BBC page, I can watch that video and any other on the site without problems. Then, if I shut the mac down and turn it on again, the problem once again occurs. Is this just a bug in firefox?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.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 lose all 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.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*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 personal 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.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Firefox crashes sometimes when I login to my email?

I recently upgraded to CA internet security suite 2010 and sometimes when I log in to my roadrunner email the tabs will flash between log-in and message list and then Firefox will crash. When I hit the Firefox icon on my desktop the log in page will reappear and most of the time I can get into me email. Is there a compatible issue here or is there something else going on?

See if you have install "Tor Browser Bundle for Mac with Firefox" hidden somewhere, if you have it you must unistall it.
thank you
