Firefox crashes when not in use then I have to reboot my computer

Firefox crashes when not in use then I have to reboot the computer.
It will not come back on line and the only way out of this is to reboot the computer.

Firefox crashes when I right click then click on "Send Link"

When I right click to send a link to the page I am on via Thunderbird, then click on 'Send Link' Firefox crashes. This is using Windows 7 home edition, on this computer. My first post was on another computer and I am using 7.0.1 on this one that crashes as described above.

1) You should update to Firefox 7.0.1
2) Please provide a crash id -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report

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.

Firefox stalls when not in use and must be forced quit.

The program works fine while I am actively using it. When it is in the background while using another application, or when I wake the computer from sleep and bring up Firefox, the program has stalled/become unresponsive. This phenomenon started approximately two weeks ago. I have turned all add-ons acquired the past six months in an attempt to eliminate conflicts, but the program still freezes when not active at least once a day.

You can also consider to create a new profile to have a fresh start. That will also get rid of some weird pref values.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
You can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

My iPad is a few years old but my battery is running down very quickly even when not in use? I have about 16% usage still available !

My iPad is a few years old but the battery is running down very quickly, is there anything I can do ?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Firefox freezes after short time use and I have to reboot

My internet connection freezes (hangs) and I have to reboot to access it again. It keeps doing this and system restore did not help. I have windows xp (firefox is my default browser but I have also tried IE - same results). Our wireless PC on network works fine.

same problems here, especially in Facebook. Also my mouse will not scroll without hanging.
Windows XP sp3
FF4.0.1(18)

Am I the only one who has firefox crashing when trying to use "Clear Recent History"?

Well I installed Firefox 4 on both my laptop and my desktop and it does the same problem to both of them, which annoys me greatly.
Such a simple feature should have no problems working right? Well not for me apparently.
When I try to use Clear Recent History (ctrl + shift + del) from the firefox menu, it asks me what I want to clear, then I press clear and nothing happens. It freezes and crashes. If I would have this problem for only 1 computer I wouldn't have minded much but the fact that this feature is having so much troubles running is getting a bit annoying for me. I just want to quickly clear my cache of everything. Shouldn't be hard!
What annoys me the most is that by browsing trough the web, I didn't find anybody else with this problem!
I don't mind much because after retrying it eventually works... but an awesome browser such as firefox should work from the start, not after many tries.

You can try to select only one setting at the time in [[Clear Recent History]] to see which one is causing the crash.

Firefox crashes when I select FILE then OpenFile, and sometimes it lets me get to a file list, but when I select that it crashes

This has been an ongoing problem, and it does not occur with IE, Opera, Chrome, Browzar, Safari or Avant browsers.
If I click "File" and then "Open File" it will frequently crash. Sometimes I can navigate to an actual filename in a director, however clicking on that file to open it will crash it. The files can be text files, web pages or photos. It crashes equally among them, or any other file I try to open. There are approximately 65 forwarded messages created by my browser and sent each time this happens but I have never heard from anyone at Firefox about it.

Ooops. I haven't updated my sig in a while. I'm on 10.8.2 and it happens on a late 2008 Alu Macbook.

I have restored my ipad2 and still have no sound and crashes when not in use. How can I fix this?

My ipad2 has no sound and keeps crashing. I have restored to factory settings and it is still happening. What else can I try?

Make an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store. It seems you have a hardware problem.

I have downloaded the latest software 7.02 for my iPad and I am finding an issue with the battery now being drained rapidly even when not in use. I have never had this issue before I downloaded this software. Help

This software is killing the battery life. Anyone find a way to solved this issue with their iPads? If not, is there a way to go back to the last software, this is not acceptable.

I have no issue since upgrade to IOS 7 no loss of battery life and you cant downgrade,apple dont support it

Apple TV powers off when not in use

My Apple TV turns off when not in use and needs to be rebooted by unplugging device to "wake" it up How do I avoid this?

All ATVs go into sleep mode when not in use.
Simply pressing the power button on the remote should wake the device up, is that not occurring?

My iMac will not sleep when not in use.

The screen will go dark, but the disk will not sleep when not being used. I have restored defaults and set energy settings to do so and still no luck. Any thoughts? Was this part of a current update? It just started to not sleep a few weeks ago.

Thanks for your help regarding my computers sleep disorder. I wanted you to know that after many hours of searching, I found that I had downloaded a program called Growl with my Belkin router when I installed it. I removed this Growl program and finally my computer will sleep on it's own. I wanted to give you this info just in case you come across this problem again.
Thanks again!

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.

When firefox crashes it not restoring my tabs I once had up ? :(

when firefox crashes it not restoring my tabs I once had up ? :(

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you get that "Well, this is embarrassing" window then that means that Firefox has crashed more than once and there should be a sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak file.
