Firefox crashes when you exit it, but it does so on fresh (re)installation, including safe mode. What other information should I provide to identify problem?
I`m running XP SP3, hardware fairly new, bitdefender and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware says I do not have viruses, and I dont remember installing new software before it started crashing. I uninstalled firefox with deleting preferences, etc. downloaded new firefox installation with IE, installed, but ir does crash on every or nearly every exit, including in safe mode. Can anybody help? I am new here, probably overlooked sth. in existing articles, in this case, I am sorry, and could anybody direct me to it. Thanks
I think it would be a good idea if you performed a clean install. Any corrupt files which are on the system and are causing this problem will be replaced. It's a very simple process and you won't lose any bookmarks. Here's how.
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download to the desktop.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

Firefox crashes, Firefox crashes when loading certain pages and Firefox crashes when you exit.
I have listed the problems and solutions I have try at here:
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2472332.aspxDid you try a new profile with all extensions and maybe plugins as well disabled?

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.

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.<br />
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.

Browing the web, Firefox crashed. Typical "this is embarrassing" window appeared and I could choose to restore or start new session. I tried to restore, and nothing happened. Mozilla Crash Reporter appeared, the option to quit Firefox seems to work but restarting just brings back the Crash Reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but Crash Reporter persists. I tried looking through your articles on crash on startup, but I cannot open Profile Manager, nor start in safe mode, nor anything else, with that Crash Reporter popping up. I can't give you a crash ID as I can't type anything into Firefox address bar if I can't open the program. I'm running Windows 7 starter edition on a netbook. Honetly really only use Firefox on this machine, so help would be appreciated! Thanks.
Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
so here ya go.

Firefox crashes, can't create new profile, reinstall doesn't work, can't get to safe mode
Whenever I try to open Firefox, all it does is open the crash reporter. When I press "Restart Firefox", it just opens yet another crash reporter. I'm using a PC.
I have tried all of the following, to no avail:
1. Reboot computer
2. System restore
3. Uninstall and reinstall (done this several times)
4. Delete the Firefox installation folder
5. Try to create a new profile/use profile manager using "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P, firefox.exe -P, and firefox.exe -profilemanager - and all this did was, again, open the crash reporter
6. Safe mode - I literally can't even open Firefox so I'm not sure how I would do this
I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Firefox crashes when I open an *.wav file - does not send to VLC
upgrade to FF 4.0.1 in Ubuntu killed automatic link to VLC media player, esp for *.wav files which I use for telephone voice mail. I tried re-installing VLC and FF, then after changing settings via about:config it now crashes... quickly.. leaves no crash report. Just closes..... What are the normal settings to pull up VLC? Why did 4.0.1 kill what had worked in the older version? Ubuntu is 11.04. Thanks
Other types of downloads work normally?
This may sound ridiculous, but... if you change the file extension before saving, does that make any difference? In order to be able to do that, you need to have Firefox ask you where to save downloads instead of always using the same download folder. This is set on the "General" tab of the options dialog, as described here: [[Startup, home page and download settings]]. -
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.

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. -
How do I get the Measurement scale to stay set in Adobe Acrobat IX Pro. It's easy to set the scale , but when you exit out of the commend the scale is reset to 1 = 1.
Thank you for checking, Tom,
I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
So, my question still is:
HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
Any ideas?

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.
