Firefox crashes when using youtube, soundcloud on x86_64 and nvidia

Hello everyone
For the past 6 months or so Firefox has been crashing on me and the only error I get is from dmesg saying:
[118237.001846] Chrome_ChildThr[2120]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f3211f66391 sp 00007f31fc8ac500 error 6 in libmozalloc.so[7f3211f65000+2000]
Is this a hardware issue or maybe a flash issue? Because I did a fresh install of Arch about a month ago hoping to fix the issue and it hasn't solved the problem.
I'm not sure if it's caused by using youtube or soundcloud, but I think it's crashed a few times when I'm not using either of them.
Does anyone has any sugestiong for how I can debug or look deeper into what is causing this issue?
The only thing the mozilla wiki said was to look at the mozzilla crash reporter output, but that doesn't exist on 64bit
Arch x86_64
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Nviida 480GTX @ Nvidia 343.22
Thanks
Regards Yaspoon

As it turns out, Skype also crashes if I try to use video - so I'm forced to confront the possibility that the problem is actually with my PC, or the updates windows has just installed.

Firefox crashes when I click help troubleshoot information, and it's not sending crash reports.

Firefox crashes when I click help > troubleshoot information. It's also not sending crash reports. I really can't be any more specific or straightforward than I am being right now. I have reinstalled multiple times. I've tried the same thing in safe mode. Cache and history and cookies are cleared. Hardware Acceleration is disabled. All of it.

Computer's clean, and this is my second clean uninstall and re-install of Firefox tonight.
I'm not having this problem with Chrome.

Firefox crashes when using Adobe Flash

I am using the newest version of Firefox (5.0.1) and the newest version of Adobe Flash (10.3.183.5) without any other add-ons. For some reason Firefox keeps crashing when playing Flash. Anything from Youtube, Flash webpages, online games, etc. It's not just the Flash add-on that crashes, but the entire browser.
I have to force it to close it via Task Manager (Windows 7 Professional).
When looking at the crash reports (about:crashes), it says there are none.
I have tried restarting, uninstalling both add-on and browser and I have even reinstalled my entire operating system. Nothing has changed.
This is obviously not my fault. Please fix this.

Hi roy6640,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base articles [[Troubleshooting plugins]] or [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]]? There is some good information in there. You may want to try reinstalling the plugin as well or updating it if it is out of date.
Hopefully this helps!

Firefox crashes when using Flash video (and Chrome does too); having uninstalled Flash, it won't reinstall

Going to youtube crashes my browser; going to youtube with noscript on, and allowing the videos, does the same - as does using google talk's built-in video chat. I assumed something was wrong with Flash, but checking via about:crashes gives me nothing. I downloaded the flash uninstaller from adobe's website but now, when I try to get flash again, the program crashes. Maybe something's wrong with my PC, not with Firefox...but I simply have no idea.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== this morning I started up my computer after a supposed crash (although I suspect it was the Vista automatic updater/restarter cropping up while I was asleep). Skype's exe was corrupted and I had to reinstall; then FF wouldn't work with flash.

As it turns out, Skype also crashes if I try to use video - so I'm forced to confront the possibility that the problem is actually with my PC, or the updates windows has just installed.

Firefox crashes when i go to yahoo mail and youtube

== Issue
==
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
== Description
==
When I first downloaded and installed Firefox, all the sites were working just fine. I went around YouTube watching videos, went to my Yahoo! mail, etc. But, later on, when I tried to visit YouTube again, Firefox kept crashing. I thought if I just shut down my laptop and waited until the next day, it would be fine. But, I visited Yahoo! mail first, and everything was fine for about 5 minutes, but then Firefox suddenly crashed. I opened up Firefox again, visited Yahoo! mail again, and Firefox crashed once more. I went around Mozilla for help, and I noticed that other people have had this problem too. I tried to fix it by going into 'My Computer' and deleting that plugin stated in the help page, but I can't seem to find anything in my computer. So help please on how I can fix this? Thanks in advance!
Also, I had restored my laptop to its factory settings right before installing Firefox (because my laptop had problems), so would this affect it in any way? Before I restored to factory settings, my laptop never had these problems with Firefox.

Hello Teresa.
Unfortunately, the computer doesn't work with waiting for issues to fix themselves, by themselves. Unless this is an error with the sites themselves (unlikely), it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

Muse crashes when using youtube widget?

I am aware that this question has been asked before. But the answer provided does not solve the problem. I am using Muse 2014.1 and it seems that the problem with the YouTube widget is still there. It crashes when (1) I try to create a youtube gallery including it in a composite widget, and (2) it crashes also when I use it as a standalone widget. Any thoughts? Similar problem also with the vimeo widget -- Muse cannot create thumbnail.

I've received the initial file and am investigating. Please send the additional files. Please also send the MuseLog.txt file from your Documents folder. It should contain a bit more information about each error you've encountered.
This initial file appears to have a fairly involved menu that's severely corrupted. I'm attempting to surgically remove it from the file but internally many many small objects appear to be involved.
Do you recall anything unusual that may have occured while working with a menu today? The corrupt objects all appear to have been created between 10:30 am and 6:30 pm today your time. If you're seeing this in other files, did those files start as copies of this file or with objects copied and pasted from this file, or are they completely independent?

Firefox crashes when using Google as startpage

Firefox crashes and gives me a general error mesage that it had to close down for certain reasons.
This only happens when I use Google as my startpage.
If I use any other website as startpage all works well and I can go to Google from there and everything works.
In short: FF crashes at start-up only when using Google as starpage, I see the Google page very briefly and then FF crashes.
I would realy like any solution because I have always used Google as startpage and want to keep it that way without having to start with i.e. altavista and go to google from there.

A possible workaround for now is to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

CVI under W2K crashes when using stop in debug mode and AOGenerateWaveforms

When using AOGenerateWaveforms to generate a sine wave. If you hit stop in debug the PC restarts. If you're using the same channel to generate a DC signal, it's fine. Seems to be the card accessing the dynamic memory I've set the waveform up in after you hit stop and the memory has been free'd.

This is sometimes the nature of the beast. When your program is running you are doing DMA transfers to locations in memory that have been setup by your operating system. Now if you stop your program, with out killing or stopping the DAQ device it will cause you problems in some cases. You need to call AOClearWaveforms before you stop your program.
If you do not stop the DAQ device, before stopping your program it will cause the DAQ device to write to memory that is no longer allocated for that process. In most cases windows detects this as an error and reboots the system, because it thinks a program has crashed and is now writing to memory locations out of its designated space.
I hope this helps.
