Firefox crashes when a certain phrase is on a webpage.
Ok, Im using Firefox 3.6, and for some reason, firefox crashes every time I go to a webpage containing the phrase B i g_B a n g_T h e o r y (spaces in between are so my firefox wont crash...).
I tried searching for the phrase on internet explorer, that crashed too.
I determined that "theory" has nothing to d with the problem, and that the crash only occurs when the words "B i g_B a n g" are on the page (with no spaces or underscores...)
When firefox/IE crashes, its not a traditional crash. there is no error message or javascript popup, the page simply closes out, as if I had pressed alt + f4.
also, the page containing the problem phrase doesnt crash if it is in a background tab.
Any ideas whats wrong?
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.

Firefox is running fine on most all pages. But when I am logged into my online banking page and try to go to certain links, firefox will crash. I have run a scan with antivir virus protection and made sure I have the most recent firefox browser. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you for clearing that up. I have another idea. There is a feature called accelerated scrolling in Firefox, however there are also modules that might be associated with malware. Options > Advanced > General > Smooth scrolling (uncheck this to test)
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

Firefox crashes when visiting certain sites
Every time I visit certain sites (examples include Gmail, Youtube and Tumblr) Firefox just stops working. I already tried restarting, safe mode, resetting to the default state and clearing all data (cookies, passwords, cache, etc.), and none of that worked. Currently forced to use Chrome until this is fixed.
You can check the network.http.* prefs on the about:config page and reset all bold user set network.http prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu -> Reset.
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Firefox Crashes when loading certain pages
I'm running the latest version of Firefox, with windows 7. I've tried updating all of my plugins and drivers and reinstalling ff.
hello Atomiclemon, the crash report that you've provided shows that the flash plugin is crashing - can you try downgrading to flash 10.3 as it is described in [[Flash 11.3 crashes]] and see if this resolves the issue?

Do I need to install an other more update version? I just can't get adobe to install. Also I can't get ANY copier, printer, etc. to work on this system. I don't want to remove Linux or Firefox because they catch all the "junk". Can you help? I'm not the best at this and I will do my best.
I had that problem myself and was forced to download the installer for "other browsers" using Internet Explorer at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ . After I did that it installed correctly. You can also try downloading the FULL installers for flash at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html . Just make sure that all browser windows are closed before you run either of these.

Why does Firefox crashes when viewing Google Images?
I was having six tabs open, one is an online pdf and two are from Google Images while the rest are forum tabs. The Firefox (ver 19 which I'm using currently) lags whenever I search for images using Google and in seemingly random occurrence, it will cause the Firefox to immediately crash with no warning. I had lost a significant portion of my time in composing emails and searching for information due to this unexpected error and it had occurred for past three versions of Firefox for me, pointing at the same initial triggers, having Google Images tab open. Checking the crash reporter reveals nothing as it stated "EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump." I hope the Mozilla team would immediately rectify this problem as it's quite annoying--and time wasting.

I installed v. 3.6.15 on 3/21/2011. Since then Firefox crashes when clicking on random e-mails in my inbox. I am running v. 10.6.7 on my iMac which I installed on 3/29/2011. I am running Java v. 10.6, Update 4, which was installed on 3/10/2011. My Adobe reader was just updated to v. 9.4.3. My iMac desktop is not quite 2 years old. When this problem occurs, everything clears off the screen. I get a message "Firefox quit unexpectedly. When I click on 'Reopen', I get the message: "Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having troubl recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. (Don't know what that means) There are no 'Crash ID(s), because everything disappears from the screen. Could someone send instructions via e-mail on what to do?

Firefox crashes when trying to print a certain page
I process orders placed on our web site. As soon as I updated to v6.0 and then V6.0.1 at a particular page when I need to print out invoices (and only on this page - I print two other pages as well during the processing) firefox crashes when trying to print all, print one page or print preview. It is not every single time but most times. I never had this problem in any earlier version.
It happened in safe mode as well.
If it wasn't for the group tabs which I love in v6 I would go back to v5.0 as it is quite inconvenient and costs me extra time to have this happen. I have to display each of the invoices individiually and print them which never causes a crash.
I have submitted fourteen reports:
