Firefox crashes when loading local pages (localhost)

Firefox crashes when I load local pages. This includes pages served by my apache server / localhost (WAMP). It also hangs when I load pages from complete websites that I have downloaded.
I was running Firefox 6 and upgraded to Firefox 7 before I discovered what the cause of the problem was. Downgraded to Firefox 4 and still had the same problem. Does anybody know how to fix this, developing with Chrome is driving me mad!!!???

Hello Xircal, thank you very much for replying.
I have tried to perform a standard diagnostic. Everything seems to run fine in Safe mode. Disabling Hardware accleration makes no difference. I can't check anything else because whenever I try to open Add-on manager, Firefox crashes.
I reinstalled again, just in case, but it's still happening.
Is it significant that the 'Update' buttons of the two outdated plugins won't work when I click on them?
Thanks again!

    The crash reports indicates the crashes may be caused by a file named mcbrwctl.dll, that file is part of McAfee Site Advisor. Try disabling the McAfee Site Advisor to see if that stops the crashes.
    To do that, in the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager. Select the Extensions panel, then in the list of extensions select McAfee Site Advisor then click on the Disable button. Re-start Firefox to complete the process.
    For info McAfee Site Advisor has caused various problems with Firefox for quite a few people.

  • Firefox crashes when loading some pages I have looked at plug-ins and themes as the problem but I do not have any of the ones that are listed as causing problems.

    Recently I downloaded some up grades for my computer and now FireFox crashes when I try to change pages on web sites. It crashes in financial sites, my earthlink email account and a business web site I manage.

    Thank you for the replies.  Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems.  I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work.  I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic.  When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones.  This actually helped.  I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems.  I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac.  I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed.  Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else. 
    If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio. 

  • Firefox crashes when loading any page with flash. I have tried all available fixes including plugin updates. If I disable flash the crashes stop, but no flash.

    Firefox crashes on any page with flash. I have the most recent version of Firefox on OSX Snow Leopard. I have made sure that I have all the most recent plugins and extensions and I am not running any custom theme. I have completely un-installed and re-installed Firefox and flash to no avail. I think the problem is in some user preference, but I cannot seem to find it. If I log out and use a different user on my machine, Firefox does not have the flash crash problem.

    JYOuyang: I have the correct plugin for Flash. My problem is not the "Flash crashed" icon, which would be generally acceptable, but FIREFOX crashing, usually rather dramatically. I have since regressed to Firefor 3.6.3. I am still using Flash 10.1, the newest version. This no longer causes Firefox to crash. Now then -- if the same plugin causes no crashes in the new version of Firefox and does cause crashes in the prior version, it is not exactly a humongous leap to conclude that maybe, just maybe, there was a bug introduced in Firefox 3.6.4? I mean, it's not as if a major feature of 3.6.4 was a significant change in how plugins interact with the browser or anything... oh, wait, there was, wasn't there? Hmmm. Saying "It's Adobe's fault!" rings a little hollow when the 10.1 plugin works correctly in the prior version of Firefox. Any kind of host/plugin model relies on a contract between the host and the plugin, and when there's a crash, it indicates one side or the other broke that contract. Under the circumstances, it's difficult not to suspect the blame for this lies on the Firefox side. It's certainly possible that Adobe's code IS broken and the problem is that it SHOULD work with the new version of Firefox, if it were properly written, but it's not, so it doesn't. However, no one seems to want to dig down to find out or provide a workaround other than regressing to 3.6.3, so that's what I've done -- Firefox does too many other things right for me to switch browsers at this point.

  • 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?

  • Firefox crashes when loading certain pages and I can't get the new adobe flash to install so I can't listen to everything. I have a Linux system.

    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.

  • Firefox crashes when loading Gmail, and random other pages, and freezes often.

    Firefox upgraded itself to 3.6.10 sometime last Friday, I believe, and every since I cannot get into gmail, and it freezes often. When I try to log into gmail it will crash immediately. Sometimes if I click "sign in" rather than hitting "enter" it will load, but will lock up or crash within minutes or seconds. It also will lock up if I have more than three or four tabs open, often when loading a video, and crashed while loading Nexis, which I use often for work to do research.
    I have disabled add-ons, disabled extensions, run in safe mode, uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted, downgraded, re-upgraded. Nothing has worked.

    Problem does not seem to occur on a modern Win XP nebook with 1 gig RAM, but does on a relatively old laptop running Win 2000 with 98.5 MB ram.
    Error message states that a script is running from a Firefox directory and asks to stop it. Crash occurs anyway!

  • Firefox crashing when loading certain websites

    Hi All,
    After updating my firefox to the latest version (3.6.12), the browser frequently crashes on cerain websites. In particular, when i visit www.scottishproperty.co.uk. I think it may be flash related but im not sure.
    I have tried the following but it has not solved the issue:
    1. Followed the artice on this site for firefox crashing on certain pages
    2. Uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it
    3. sent error reports to firefox - but when i go to About:crashes no reports are show.
    Can anyone please advise?
    When i try the same url in IE, it works as normal.

    If you still have problems with crashes please
    # read the article: [[firefox crashes]]
    # if you have problems with crashes and are using Fireox's safe mode
    #* please navigate to'' about:crashes''
    #* post a couple of recent CrashIDs into your next message
    Are you restricted to using Firefox in [[safe mode]] in order to prevent crashes?

  • Firefox crashes when opening any page especially email

    Firefox has suddenly started to crash when I open up any page but especially when I click through an email. I don't have a problem when I fire up Firefox by clicking the icon in my task bar, it's only when I want to view a page in any other way.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this issue, I'm not very technically minded so step by step would be most appreciated.

    Hi Madperson
    One of my crash reports is as follows :-

    I'm not saying this crash report is bang on accurate because I had to copy it out by hand, but I did my best. There may be other crash reports but as I was only able to copy them by hand I didn't make a note of them, so when they happen again I will do so. I hope this crash report helps you solve my Mozilla issue.
    Thank you

  • InDesign crashes when loading master pages

    Having a problem loading Master pages, document is saved from CS3 to CS5 then when I try to load master pages from a different CS3 document InDesign crashes any ideas?

    Does it work any better if you save the other doc as a CS5 file (use a new name -- don't overwrite CS3 files becasue you can't go back easily) before loading the pages?
    It often helps to export the CS3 file to .inx, then open that in CS5 instead of the .indd.

  • Firefox crashes when I navigate pages on grooveshark, try to open the add-on manager, and when I visit any number of random web pages. What is wrong with it?

    Firefox never crashes immediately on startup or when I close the windows, but it crashes usually soon afterwards. It always crashes shortly after I open the add-on manager, so I can't even see which plugins I have that might be causing problems.
