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).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
<br />
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.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Firefox crashes when opening and will not open in safe mode
Recently FF3 started crashing when opening. It will not open in safe mode as well. I have uninstalled it including deleting the install folder and profile folders as well as registry entries. Upon reinstallation is will still not launch in any mode.
I have scanned for malware with several scanners and that has not found anything.
Here is the crash report cause - nsCOMPtr_base::~nsCOMPtr_base() | nsDocShell::SetupNewViewer(nsIContentViewer*)
Anti-virus is Trend Micro Worry Free for Business. I uninstalled it and Firefox and then reinstalled only Firefox and still get the same thing.
I do not know what to try next.Add-ons: {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}:3.6.3

Firefox crashes when clicking FILE / OPEN FILE / Drive (G:)/and when double clicking the directory containing the file. It happens every time I'm trying to open a local file. Must close, go to Internet Explorer, Opera or Chrome which have no problems doing this.
You are running out of memory. In the stack notice this line:
Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Edit the sqldeveloper.conf file and add this
AddVMOption -Xmx1024M
That will bump it up some.

Firefox 3.6.3 crashes when opening and the Crash Report [[@ strlen nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ]. It was working perfectly fine and the last three days, I am having difficulty in opening firefox.

Firefox crashes when opening after upgrading to 6.0.2
After upgrading firefox to 6.0.2 firefox crashes upon opening. When I try to open firefox the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" opens up. I tried all the sugestions on the support page. None of these worked. It will open with the computer in safe mode. I can not find where to start firefox in safe mode after upgrading.
I can open it now after running firefox in compatibility mode for windows XP sp2. The problem with this is I have to accept permission everytime I open firefox. If I change user account control settings to not ask every time firefox crashes on opening again.Your crashreport is:<br>

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 :-
AdapterDeviceID: 0x0046
AdapterDeviceID: 0x8086
Add-ons: (D19CA586-DD6C-4a0a-96F8-14644F340D60):14.4.1,(d40b90b4-d3b1-4d6b-a5d7-dc041c1b76C0):3.13.0.6(336D0C35-8A85-403a-B9D2-65C292C39087):2.0.0.441,(841468a1-d7f4-4bd3-84e6-bb0f13a06c64):1.300.426,(4ED1F68A-5463-4931-9384-8FF5ED91D92)3.4.1.195,[email protected]:12.1.1084,(972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd):12.0,userzoom_tool@jetpack:3.2
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 -
Firefox crashes when opening a new window
Firefox opens normally and runs properly -- until I close all its windows. When zero windows are present, and I return to Firefox and ask for a new window, Firefox hangs. To resolve the problem I must Force Quit the app, which generates a crash report to Apple. Occasionally Firefox has crashed on its own and generated a crash report to Mozilla, but this is rare. I have tried disabling all add-ons, but that had no effect.
As long as there is at least one Firefox window open, the app functions normally. This problem only occurs when going from zero windows to one window.Try to repair the disk permissions:
*http://thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Firefox freezes when i click add ons options
Also NONE of my add-ons are working... they dont do what their supposed to do. No add on i download works, i have firefox 7.0.1.
For example these are some add ons i downloaded, Firebug, Personas, ImTranslator, Download helper. (Basicly when i click on options on any add on it freezes and doesnt do anything and I cant do anything on firefox so i have to close it with Windows Task Manager.Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check. -
Firefox crashes when opening new tab
Crash-ID: bp-681f1751-fc5b-4f14-a30b-f93ed2150407
I have tryed:
Clean install (with removing of C:prog..\mozilla)
Uninstalling and deleting extensions
Restarted Firefox in safe mode without addons/extensions.
Uninstalling/updating flash/adobe
I can start firefox, but when i press the "+" to open a new tab Firefox closes and "Mozilla Crash-report" window opens.
It seems like firefox it self can open a tab. For example when i do a fresh installation, Firefox opens with 2 tabs.
But when i want to open one it fails and Firefox shuts down. Its really wierd because i have never run in to this kind of problem before and i dont recall installing anything new before this problem showed up.''avfallskvarn [[#question-1056211|said]]''

What is the setting of the new tab page?
You can check the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Thx! For some reason the string was set to "about:newtab" or something like that. Changed the name to my default homepage and the problem was fixed. Any ideas on why this happend? I didn't change it myself.
Never the less! Thank you for saving my haircolour from turning gray of frustration. Was worried i had to turn to Chrome or.... IE.... -
Firefox Crashes when opening -- Win 8.1
Hi,
About a month ago i wiped my laptop and upgraded from 7 to 8.1. Now when i try and use Firefox, it will open for 1-2 seconds, then crash. I had AVG, un-installed that and now use Avast. I also used Hitman Pro alert, and un-installed that to make sure -- cant figure it out for the life of me.

Thanks.In case your Firefox program files have become corrupted somehow, you may also want to replace them. The following method does not involve uninstalling Firefox, just hiding the existing program folder and re-running the installer.
(1) Download a fresh installer from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox (if applicable).
(3) Rename the folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Any improvement in behavior?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\Plugins
* C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\browser\plugins -
