Firefox crashes when I copy or paste Asian characters

Recently, I noticed that when I tried to paste Asian characters (Japanese or Chinese, I don't speak Korean so I haven't tried it) that it would freeze Firefox and I would have to forcefully end the process.
I thought perhaps it was because I recently (within the last few days) updated to Firefox 4.0, so I uninstalled it, and reinstalled the last one I had an installer for (3.5.1). That didn't solve the problem either, and now I'm noticing that I cannot copy Asian characters from within Firefox either. Not only does it crash the program itself, but the data never actually gets entered into the clipboard!

Well, first of all, you should upgrade to v3.6.16 by going to '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The version you're running exposes your system to attack by many exploits which are prevalent on the Web. You can also download a copy for later use from here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16]
Another danger lies in your plugins. Go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check] page and update those which are recommended.
As regards your problem, I looked at a few sites and this one: [http://www.pinyinjoe.com/windows-7/win7-chinese-fonts.htm Chinese Fonts in Windows 7] states that Microsoft only intends Win 7 to display Asian fonts, not use them. There are however instructions of what to do to actually achieve the latter goal. Perhaps it'll be of some use to you.
P.S. ''Sorry it took so long to answer your question''.

When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.

Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

When I copy and paste from Word to my e-mail using Firefox it changes the font and spacing to single and 10pt. It just started doing this a month ago. It does not do it when I am on my laptop or using Explorer. Help, I hate explorer.

If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.
Shortcuts and workarounds tend to create awkward and difficult problems, that often only surface late in the process.

Firefox is encoding parentheses when i copy and paste URLs

When I copy and paste a URL from Firefox it is currently encoding parentheses instead of just copying said parentheses.
For example, when I copy the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_(band)
it pastes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_%28band%29

Except there are other programs than Firefox that use URL's. The question isn't about the use of the link it's about using the encoding that Firefox previously used.

All the files I'm working with are mono wav files. As I kept trying to do other things I realized the program is crashing also when I try to export the mix.
Since this started happening last week I've tried reinstalling the software twice but that hasn't worked. Any help would be great. I don't want to have to spend 200 bucks for logic right now, but I am kind of in a rush to get this project done. I can also copy the crash report over here if neccesary.
Thank you!

Firefox crashed when I brought it back all Toolbars were gone, how do I recover them?

FireFox crashed, When I brought it back up my toolbars were gone. How do I get them back? they are not under history either. Should I try reloading Firefox. This is the first problem I have had with this browser.

First, lets work on the crash. Loading back your profile may result
in wasting time if it crashed again.
Look on your desktop. Is there a folder called''' Old Firefox?'''
In the address bar, type '''about:crashes'''<enter>.''' Note:''' If any reports do not
have '''BP''' in front of the numbers, click it and select '''Submit'''.
Using your mouse, '''mark''' the most '''resent 7 - 10''' crash reports, and

Firefox crashes when scolling pages in youtube

I've been having this problem the last 2 weeks, more or less. Firefox crashes when on youtube when I start to scroll or even when I try to go to another tab.
It doesn't seem to be the plugin that crashes because when that crashes it usually doesn't crash the whole browser, when it's only the plugin that crashes you get the message "shockwave flash has stopped working" or something like that, and if you click on the stop plugin button, it just greys out the video frame; I've had this type of crash too, yesterday, but not on the youtube site, it was on another site, in a page with several youtube videos embedded, maybe the two things are related, I don't know, but this type of crash only happened yesterday, and I dont' even recall the last time it had happened.
The other type of crash, as I said, crashes the whole browser, but I also noticed that it doesn't save a crash report; today it happened several times, but the last crash report is the one from yesterday, from the plugin crash I was talking about!
Also, I tried with internet explorer, and all seems to work fine, no crash when I scroll or view videos on youtube; also yesterday, when the plugin was crashing repeatedly, I went in IE and tried with that, and all was working fine.
To sum up, Firefox crashes when scrolling down pages on youtube, not always, but a lot, sometimes when switching to another tab from youtube, yesterday the plugin crashed repeatedly in a page with embedded youtube videos, no crash report for the first type of crash, IE work fine in both cases.
Finally, hardware acceleration in the plugin is disabled, I tried having protected mode in the Flash plugin both disabled and enabled, and no update for my graphic card is available.
Here are some crash reports:

I also did a system file check and it says "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them". In the log then, the only file that seems it was not possible to repair is "member file [l:36{18}]"Amd64\CNBJ2530.DPB" of prncacla.inf, Version = 6.3.9600.17415". The log is huge so I cannot copy it, I don't know if it's possible to upload a text file, but then again I don't think there's much more. As I said no graphics driver updates are available for my card. After the System file check I went to youtube and started scrolling up and down and the crash happened.

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)

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Firefox crashes when I sign into Lastpass. Have sent a crash report many times but no resoluction

Firefox crashes when I sing into Lastpass. This started occurring several days ago, and I sent in the crash report to Firefox when I had the option. I probably sent in over a dozen reports, but the problem still exist. I am defaulting to Chrome, but prefer Firefox. Help!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

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.

Firefox crashes when downloading attachments

For the past several months I have been having an issue with Firefox 3.6.8 and previous version(s) where it crashes when downloading a file. I download many PDFs from the web and our doc control system, so it usually happens on PDFs, but I have had it crash on an Excel 2003 file as well. I download 10 to 20 documents a day and it doesn't crash every day, so it is really random and I can't pin down the exact circumstances nor reliably reproduce it, but it happens a couple times a week. I typically don't close Firefox, so it will be open for up to several days (until it crashes) and I will put my laptop into standby with Firefox open. I will post more information when I can better capture the crash.

I tried all the fixes in https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes+when+trying+to+download+a+file?s=crashes+when+downloading&as=s but I still get crashes either during or immediately after downloading. Almost all of the below crashes were caused by downloading, most, if not all by PDFs. I am using Acrobat 7 right now because I have the Acrobat Standard and prefer that over the newer version that is only a reader. I am going to try changing to the latest reader instead and see if that fixes this.
