Firefox crashes with an empty folder
Every time firefox crashes, it creats an empty folder in $HOME directory. Anybody has a suggestion? Thanks in advance.
What is the folder called?
Google doesn't report any similar bugs...
My FF from default repos v3.5.4 doesn't create any folders. Try 'pacman -Syu to upgrade to latest and greatest version'.
It crashing at all is a problem. Can you reproduce crashes consistently (there is currently a problem with bookmarking).
If the up-to-date version still has this problem, please submit a bug report to ArchBugs @ [urk]bugs.archlinux.org[/url] or the upstream mozilla bug tracker @ bugzilla.mozilla.org

Firefox crashed with no dialog box, none of my tabs were restored.
Firefox crashed with no dialog box. It just stopped responding and disappeared. When I re-opened it, none of my tabs were restored - just my homepage. I had about 10-15 active tabs that I was working on. I'm not too concerned about the crash, but I AM concerned about restoring my lost tabs. Some are old tabs (ie, months old but I still use them and go back to them), so I'd be digging through months of histry trying to find them or remember what they were.
See Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
If you do not have a sessionstore file in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] then your crashed session is lost.
Session restore works more reliable if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Would synchronizing with an empty folder delete what's on my zen xt
Hi,
I'm having problems transfering my songs from my zen xtra to my pc (long overdue backup). It stalls midway through the process saying there is not enough disk space (despite having 250GBs free!)
The only thing I'm yet to try is synching my player with a folder. I've downloaded the zen synch manager and have wmp0 to synch also. However, I'm concerned that synching with an empty folder will delete all my songs.
I'm running on the original 60GB Zen Xtra firmware and have mediasource organizer 5.
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
THanks

Newest update to Firefox Crashes with BEX error code
Updated Firefox to newest version. Upon restarting Firefox it crashes with BEX error code. Deactivated all anti-spyware, removed all traces of Firefox and did a new re-install, and tried to open in Safe Mode but it still crashes upon start with same error code. (Firefox only runs on initial install but upon restart always crashes) Attempted to find an older version of firefox but can not find older version. I do not see any help related to the severity of my crashes. How do you fix the BEX crash?
When you started in Safe Mode*, did you get the Safe Mode dialog or Firefox never got that far? Did you ever get to your home page?
BEX = Buffer Overflow Exception or Data Execution Prevention (DEP) exception. DEP is a security feature that seeks to prevent exploits that inject program code into Windows memory. Firefox doesn't trigger this error on its own, but add-ons or external programs that tweak Firefox might.
Are you using any special configurations to run Firefox, such as virtual machines or sandboxing?
If not, it sound suspicious. You may want to run some supplemental scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
* I assumed Firefox Safe Mode. Or was it Windows Safe Mode with Networking? -
Firefox crashes with NVidia 331.20 (Linux 64bit)
As the title says, Firefox crashes immediately upon opening when using NVidia's latest stable drivers (331.20). The last stable driver that Firefox works with is 319.60. This issue only afflicts Firefox. All other HW accelerated programs I've tried work. Anybody have any ideas on a solution?
Thanks in advance,

mats_b_tegner's reply sort of solved the issue. I'm going to try to patch and compile Firefox as the current NVidia drivers provide needed functionality. Hopefully the devs will see fit to include the patch in future releases. -

Firefox crashes with Knowledgebase Manager Pro
On a certain view in Knowledgebase Manager Pro (unfortunately you have to be logged in to the system to get to this view), Firefox version 10.0+ and now 11.0 crashes when trying to display the page. Have re-installed version 9.0, and Firefox is stable in this view. Please can you suggest how I can simulate the conditions for you (will not be allowed to send you login details for Knowledgebase).
This also happens on other users' computers (running Win 7).Ok, let's try a few things here:
Please read [[Firefox crashes|Firefox crashes]], which has some troubleshooting methods to determine what might be causing the crash and how to work around it.
Update your graphics driver. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].

Firefox crashes with facebook upload
whenever i try to upload pictures to facebook firefox crashes, the first time i upload pictures it works fine but the second time it crashes.. thats really frustrating..
any suggestions..
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Firefox crash with Shockwave plugin
I recently switched to Firefox since am having much troubles with G Chrome, The problem is that when my Shockwave Plug in is enabled, Firefox Freezes when it's loading a page, untill i disabled Shockwave and it doesn't freeze anymore but i can't do anything that needs Shockwave to run since it's disabled, i have tried restoring and everything, can someone help me please?
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

External USB Hard Drive crashed with my Home Folder!
I have my home folder on an external USB drive that went bad, so now I can't log in. I get the message "You are unable to log in to the user account xxxx at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred". Well, I know the error is because my home folder on the external drive is not accessible.
My original home folder is still on the internal hard drive. How do I change the path to the home folder on the internal drive when I can't log in. I don't have any other User accounts on this MAC, so I can't log in as a different Administrative User to change the path to the home folder on the internal drive. This MAC is running Lion (OS X 10.7.5). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.First, find out your current user home directory for the User Account Name you wish to recover.
If your user accounts are not accesible to do this command from terminal, start the Macintosh in recovery mode.
This can be done by pressing Command+R during startup.
Select the terminal from the tools and enter this command.
"dscl . read /Users/User NFSHomeDirectory" .....obviously without the quotations and instead of "User" put the name of the user you with to recover.
Now if the name of hard disk is named "XXXXX 1" that is with a number one at the end of your home directory hard disk name, that means that the Mac OS has renamed your hard disk at a different mount point. Due to this flaw, the OS is not recognizing your hard disk, hence the error.
Gain root access in the terminal and navigate to the /Volumes directory. Print all the drives in that directory.
If you have duplicate folder names, like "xxxxx", "xxxxx 1", then eject your home directory hard disk (so you are sure you won't delete your files when you do the next steps), and print the contents of the directory. If there is a folder that has the name of your hard disk home directory, DELETE IT.
Now, still in the recovery terminal mode, make a local user account (unless you already have a valid account you can logon on to such as a guest account) so you can verify that your old account is still set to your hard drive home directory name.
Here's a shell script, where "Administrator" is any name you like.
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.common
dscl . create /Users/administrator
dscl . create /Users/administrator RealName "Administrator Account"
dscl . create /Users/administrator hint "Password Hint"
dscl . create /Users/administrator picture "/Path/To/Picture.png"
dscl . passwd /Users/administrator thisistheaccountpassword
dscl . create /Users/administrator UniqueID 501
dscl . create /Users/administrator PrimaryGroupID 80
dscl . create /Users/administrator UserShell /bin/bash
dscl . create /Users/administrator NFSHomeDirectory /Users/administrator
cp -R /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj /Users/administrator
chown -R administrator:staff /Users/administrator
Now Logon to that account. Go to System Preferences ----> Users & Groups ----> Right Click on The User You Wish To Recover ----> Advanced Options ----> And MAKE SURE That The Home Directory Is The Correct Name i.e. "Home Directory", NOT "Home Directory 1". Voila.
Change this from the temporary user account, log off, and you should have access. BTW, I always recommend having a guest account enabled or a secondary user account when you wish to recover your account whenever you disconnect your home directory hard drive by accident or it crashes. Thanks for reading. -
Firefox crashes with error message: "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working"
When I open Firefox it seems to be working fine for one minute, then everything freezes and I receive the following error message:
"Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working
--> Check online for a solution and close the program
--> Close the Program"
Neither option restores Firefox and I'm left with a frozen (white blurry Not Responding) screen. When I click on the X button, then I get the regular "Firefox is not responding" message and the whole program just shuts down.
Should I disable all plugins and / or this plugin container? How can I do that, if Firefox keeps crashing?
Basically, how can I fix this? Thanks a lot!I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
It appears this forum is dead?!
Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem...
