Firefox crashes when I create a fresh new tab

Ever since yesterday (although the issue has occured before but a system restore has fixed it. Unfortunately it didn't work this time) whenever I open a fresh new tab (merely clicking the '+' icon next to the tabs) will make the memory usage and cpu usage of computer jump until Firefox eventually crashes.
I have done nothing prior to this first happening except turning off my computer after having it run on sleep mode instead for the past few days whenever I was done using my computer for the day. However if I were to open up a new tab using a link from a site it appears to have a normal effect (memory usage only going up a few kb) I am currently using chrome as a backup.
Methods attempted: Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, Resetting Firefox, Changing profiles, System restore, Deleting cookies and clearing cache via CCleaner, Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flashplayer plugin, Running Firefox in safe mode, Restarting computer.
Specs:
Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
RAM 3 GB
Intel(R) Duo Core(TM)2 CPU 2.40 GHz 6600 @ 2.40 GHz

Wow, looks like you've already done all of the basic troubleshooting steps.
Let's see if the problem doesn't lie somewhere else. 
Can you give me your crash reports?
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and paste them into your response here.

Firefox crashes when trying to print with new hp 8500a printer

works fine with windows explorer and eprints form ipad just crashes when you try to print from email in firefox

Is the HP Smart Web Printing extension installed in Firefox? 
orange Firefox button > Add-ons, then select Extensions 
If an extension by that name is there, disable it and see if that was causing Firefox to crash. Some users have reported a crashing problem related to that extension.
If not that, see this: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes#w_getting-help-with-your-crash
Type '''about:crashes''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.

Firefox crashes when signing out from the "New Improved Yahoo Mail"

I reluctantly switched to the New Improved Yahoo Mail yesterday, from Yahoo Classic, every time I sign out Firefox crashes and I get an error message. I have filled out the information and selected restart or quit, and another error message says that the report could not be submitted. I resisted converting to the new Yahoo, all their other upgrades did nothing for me.
Using Firefox on a Mac Book Pro, Hughes net satellite internet connection.

I have exactly the same issue. Reluctantly switched to New Yahoo Mail, downloaded latest firefox as of 13 Sep 2011 and every time I try and sign out of Yahoo it crashes. I'm also using a Mac Book Pro. Is there a fix yet?

Firefox bug when clicking "open link in new tab" or mouse wheel

I am starting to get this bug for a last few days.
When I am trying to click "Open link in new tab" or, as usual using mouse wheel click, inside a Firefox window I got this for a couple of seconds before page shows up.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tbYPFx7jBn4/VIBxWfNBp8I/AAAAAAAABPM/yxArZ9Zbw88/s1000/bug.jpg
As you can see it's a mix of previous pages I was viewing for a last few days....
All those pages was not open at the this moment, it's just like a flash back :O)
Any idea what may cause it?

hello Bubunya, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Why mozilla firefox vibrate when I choosing / open a new tab?

Recently, when I open a new tab / choosing a tab, firefox tab start vibrate (pop up and down) until the page is fully loading . I not sure if I accidentally tab tearing or accidentally activate some feature in firefox. I had tried unchecked all the toolbar to solve this problem but this problem still remain .

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

Firefox crashes when I have multiple windows or tabs open

I am running windows 7 home premium on a HP (HPE-170f ).
Firefox hangs and then crashes on a regular basis when I multiple tabs and or windows open. When it asks to send a report, it usually tells me that there was an error in submission so the crash reports listed below are far from the only ones.
When I restart Firefox, my history is lost. I just went through your articles and I changed me startup to: show my windows from last time. Hopefully that will help the history problem but...What about the constant crashes?
Thanks for the help!

This can be a problem with OOPP (Out-Of-Process-Plugins)

Firefox on mac crashes when i reply or start new message in hotmail

hi,
whenever i start a new email or reply in hotmail., firefox crashes. i use a macbook 13'' but im not sure what the issue is, as it has only started 2 days ago.
i cleared all the cookies and cache history etc, and even uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, but it didnt help.
it is happening with all my hotmail accounts, not just one in particular.
the error message that appears is:
"the application firefox quit unexpectedly.
max osx and other applications are not affected.
click relaunch to launch the application again. click report to see more details or send a report to apple."
firefox crashes when i start a new email or attempt to reply on my macbook, but when i use my other laptop (pc), it is fine. It only started happening the other day (and i dont recall doing anything different to what i usually do before sending an email, so i dont know what has caused it). unfortunately i dont have access to another macbook to see if it is a compatibility issue with macs.
cheers.

Maybe your problem can be solved in this article [[Firefox crashes]] Try this also: [[Clear Recent History]]

Ok, one sentence, that's tough - I have gone through the 'firefox crashes when you open it' troubleshooting but my problem remains that firefox crashes when i open it, how do i fix this?

Several days ago firefox crashed when opening and it does so every time i try to open it now. I am able to use internet explorer perfectly. In fact one way i discovered i can still open firefox is by using Advanced System Care (which i installed after the crashing so it was not in any way responsible) and going to 'test bandswidth'. Because firefox is my default browser it opened it up. I was able to enter safe mode in this way and restart firefox in safe mode. I then set firefox so that all plugins and extensions were disabled but this did not help. I am running the default theme. I will be happy to provide any further information if anyone can help..thanks in advance.

Note that the Aurora (28.0a2) and Nightly (29.0a1) build are updated daily and can be unstable being alpha releases. 
You always need to install such a version alongside of the current release via a custom install and use a separate profile for each Firefox version.
Make sure not to start Firefox after the installation has finished and use the Profile Manager to create a new (separate) profile for each version. 
Do a custom install in a different program folder and use the Profile Manager to create a new profile for this version, so make sure not to start Firefox after the installation has finished.

Firefox crashes when opening "Extras Add-ons"

Firefox crashes when opening "Extras>Add-ons" (German user interface - I don't know what the according menu points are labeled in English).
The crash seems to be so severe that no crash ID is created. On every restart after a crash Firefox 4 is in offline mode and has to be switched back to online mode. If needed I could provide a screenshot of the error message shown when firefox crashes.
There were no problems on this machine running firefox 3.xx. The problems occurred after upgrading from firefox 3.6x to firefox 4.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

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.

Adobe Standard 9.1.0 crashes when attempting create .pdf from scanner

Adobe Standard 9.1.0 crashes when attempting "create .pdf from scanner" from a Kyocera Mita KM-2550 using the twain driver. The error encountered is 0xc0000005 at address 0x0000000002d78e70. I have downloaded and installed the latest updates. This is happening on two new PCs with the same configuration. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Spent quite a while on this one.. My problem was related to twain drivers which reside in c:\windows\twain_32. I'm running windows 7 64-bit. First it's usually possible to scan in windows 7 maybe vista and from adobe without even using twain (using WIA). So try renaming the twain_32 folder to _twain_32 and see what happens... If that stops the crashing look at the contents of the twain folder. I had a Dell folder for some printer I wasn't even using. That was causing the crash. I removed the dell folder and renamed the twain folder back to twain_32. Now everything works as designed.
