Firefox crashing & freezing in "4GB ram+2GB GPU support"

as u can c in d images firefox is freezing, even in 4GB & GPU Config machine. what is solution to dis?

Could you pls re-attach the image.
As for the heavy memory usage, you can try this:
Type "about:memory" in your addressbar and then press the button that says "minimize memory usage". This should free some RAM memory.
Thanks

Firefox Crashing/Freezing Constantly and Resetting to Defaults

For the past few weeks, I have been having a lot of issues with Firefox crashing. Every time I try to open up a new tab or load a web page it will freeze. Sometimes this is only for a few minutes, while other times this lasts up to an hour and I have no choice but to close the program out using the task manager, as any attempts to close it normally fail. This is most prevalent within the first few minutes after I launch Firefox, and the program has been slow in this regard for quite a while, though usable after waiting a few minutes for it to fully load. As I stated though, for the past few weeks it has been completely locking up and crashing when this happens, and it continues to happen after I have already loaded web pages and try to open new ones.
I tried a complete fresh install, and the problem was fixed for a few days, however, after going for a couple of days without internet access and trying to get online again, the problem returned even worse than before. More than that, now from time to time my Firefox completely resets to default settings, clearing out my "New Tab" page's pinned tabs, as well as removing whichever theme I had applied.
This glitch has rapidly made Firefox unusable for me, which makes me very upset as I far prefer it to Google Chrome. While I don't know that it would help discern the issue, below is also a list of all the extensions I have installed as well as the plugins I have that are always active, (with all my other plugins either being disabled or "ask to activate"). With the exception of "Adblock Edge", I have had all the extensions installed for several months with no issues. "Adblock Edge" itself I only installed after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to try and fix my issue. My current Firefox version is 35.
Extensions:
Adblock Edge 2.1.7
DownloadHelper 4.9.24
Private Tab 0.1.7.3
Adblock Plus 2.6.7
Plug Ins:
Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.296
Unity Player 4.6.1.51269

Apple doesn't publish maximum temps however there are safeguards built into the machine, if it senses it's going to overheat it will warn you and then shut down if you ignore the warning. It's VERY rare this ever occurs.

New imac 2011 27" intel core i7 2600, 4gb ram, 2GB vram amd radeon HD 6970m, help!!!!

I am sick and tired of Firefox crashing from Adobe Flash player. All support statements say to reinstall and that doesnt solve the problem!

I am sick and tired of your Firefox not supporting Adobe Flash player. Windows explorer no problem it works fine. All of your support statements tell me to reinstall and I've tried that more than once and nothing improves! It is slowing up my computer, and I have a windows folder with 4.8Mb of auto generated crash messages!

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

Flash content makes Firefox to freeze/crash

Hi Team,
I have posted my problem a few days ago as a comment (an answer) to the "flash plugin" post from "cj_gadget". But I have got no answer, probably because the "flash plugin" post was labelled as "solved".
So I now post my problem as a new question, and since I have a Macintosh configuration while "cj_gadget" (and many others) was using a Windows PC, the solution may be different!
After a long period without using it, my iMac (running with Mac OS X 10.6.8) has been recently updated with the most recent versions of Firefox (25.0) and Flash Player & Plugin (11.9.900.117). The result is that Firefox crashes (freezes) on every page with Flash content. For other reasons, I have to stay with Mac OS 10.6.8 without upgrading to more recent OS versions. I have looked through Firefox and Adobe Flash Player help pages, as well as through many posts on this forum without finding an effective solution.
Following some of these posts, I have unchecked (in Firefox > Preferences > Advanced) the use of hardware graphic accelerator. Many posts advise to do the same for Flash Player with a right click on the video frame, but this is NOT possible since Firefox freezes immediately as all Flash video start automatically when the page is loaded.
I have also checked that a HTML5 video displays correctly as for : "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w&html5=True" while "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w" stucks Firefox. This Firefox freezing problem is general for all pages with Flash content (that is for a large fraction of the Web!) and NOT limited to Youtube which was just used here as an example.
Some more information : RealPlayer was not present on this computer when the problem appeared. If I disable the Flash pluging in Firefox, it does nor freeze, but of course does not display the video. Safari (version 5.1.10 - ok for Apple software update) works fine with Flash content.
I have sent many hours on this problem without progress and would strongly appreciate any help or even better a solution !

Hi, jpdemers , and thanks for your advices.
I have been travelling for some time and was not in position to make any new test for about two weeks (the affected machine is an iMac at home).
Today I have uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner, as well as Flash Player using Adobe uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg ; and I have then installed both of them from scratch.
Unfortunately the problem is still there :-(
I just notice that I forgot to reboot the iMac (twice) as you said. I believe it may not be so important, but I will repeat the cycle with the reboots included (early next year now !).
I will keep you updated on the issue, and I hope I will not have to reinstall the system. I have the install discs, but this may be an heavy burden...
In the meanwhile, I wish you an happy new year !

Firefox crashes when uploading/downloading files from/to 'desktop folder'

Hello
I'm hoping, that you can help me!
I'm using Firefox 28.0 on MacBook Pro Mavericks 10.9.2
Firefox crashes/freezes when I try to upload/download files from/to my 'desktop folder'.
I't only happens, when I use this folder. Download to 'download folder' or any other folder works fine.
Download to 'desktop folder' when using Safari also works fine.
I't only happens when desktop and firefox tries to communicate.
It's very annoying when I accidentally forget, that the bugs is there, and I have to force quit and start all over again. And sometimes I don't even have a choice, because 'desktop' randomly opens as default folder, when I try to upload things.
Thank you so much in advance!
Kind regards Elizabeth

Hi ESwan,
I am not a Mac user so not the best person to attempt to assist but here goes.
I am presuming that info such as
PID: 1695 Event: cpu usage (microstackshots only)
Relate to the Mac OS X crash & event logging and reporting.
What we need are the ones that Firefox itself generates and submits for processing by Mozilla Firefox
* See [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash]]'''#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash'''
From what you say the crashes occur after a certain action and I am hoping that you will be able to use the easy method as in the article linked above. Navigate to about:crashes by keying ''about:crashes'' into the address bar. You are loolking for the ones starting wth ''bp-'' Paste two or three of those into your next post. Include the bp- part but not any link information before that. After they are pasted into the forum the forum software changed them to be links.

Can adding RAM to PC Memory can make firefox crash?

Last night, I just upgrade my PC RAM memory from 2gb to 4gb, with 2gb kingston pc5300 + 2gb AMC pc5300, since then my firefox crashes, and FYI other internet browser crashes too.
Are they correlated, memory upgrade & firefox crash?
Thx

It is possible that the two makes are not compatible with each other. You can try to swap the two banks or test with only the last modules that you added to see if that still causes crashes.

Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents

Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents. Particularly, when I need any flash content. It freezes up so that the only option will be to force quit the firefox.

I've noticed the crashing increasing with the newer versions. The worst thing is when I'm writing a long email and then go to a page with flash and ff locks up and then crashes. I use IE now for most flash content or mission critical emailing but IE's interface is poorly laid out so I don't like it. I've tried FF with the plugin container and without it and it crashes either way (more often without the container). I use adblock and firebug. I wonder if ppl experiencing this prob are using those plugins too.

LEOPARD 10.5.1 - Macbook Pro 15" 2.4GHz 4GB ram - crashing, doesn't wake up

I've 2.4GHz 15" Macbook Pro with 4GB RAM and latest 10.5.1 LEOPARD. I'm getting very upset about the LEOPARD as it's not stable at all compared to Tiger. I've frequent crashes, see photo below.
As described in other topics on this forum, i have simultaneous problem with the laptop not waking up from a sleep mode. The screen is black and the keybord and poer button is unresponsive. I have to hold he power button to FORCE-shut down the computer.
I've done clean LEOPARD installation, not an upgrade.
LEOPARD is getting a lot of unwanted attention with all it's flaws - just google for it.
I was imagining that apple is working hard on this problem, but over the time i'm getting tired of this and although i love the new features i need a stable system - that's why i have MAC and windows!

It looks/sounds to me as if you have a problem with the "Hall Effect" switch which activates sleep when the computer is closed, MarukoDT.
THis isn't actually in the hinge, but is activated by a magnet in the lid when the computer is closed.
"Sleep Cause 5" is certainly closing the lid on my MBP under OSX 10.6.2.
In fact you can reproduce symptoms very similar to yours by simply placing an MBP13 on top of an older Polycarbonate MacBook. If you do this then the magnet in the MacBook activates the Hall effect switch in the MBP13 even when the MBP13's lid is open. Simply moving the computer off the MB will immediately allow it to wake. (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2917 for the Apple KB item on the matter. I've done this myself when sharing a power adaptor and was about to launch in to major "troubleshooting mode" when I remembered having read this article a few days earlier! )
So, assuming you don't have your MBP stacked on top of an MB, and don't work on top of of an MRI machine or other things with substantial magnets , I'd be thinking that it is a defective Hall Effect switch itself that is causing your woes. If so, it is a workshop warranty repair, I'm afraid.
(There are many other possible causes of sleep problems. Generally they involve issues with third party software or third party hardware, but your case is different. I no longer have the log files from my own accidental experiences of this when sitting the MBP on the MB, but from memory they actually looked very like yours.)
Cheers
Rod

Can i use 4gb ram card instead of (2x2) 2gb cards in macbook pro 15" 2.0 ghz

can i use 4gb ram card instead of (2x2) 2gb cards in macbook pro 15" 2.0 ghz

Hi John,
If your MBP is a 2011, yes, and here is one example: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S4GB/
If your MBP is from 2006, the other year Apple made a 2GHz, the answer is no, as the max RAM is 2GB.
Given that it appears you already have 2x2GB installed, I'm "guessing" you have the 2011 model, so the answer is yes.

FireFox keeps on crashing & freezing everytime I am in the middle of viewing a site content. It drives me nut!

FireFox keeps on crashing & freezing when I am in the middle of viewing content on a certain site like http://affiliate-resources.info for information to use, it drives me nut!
I love using FireFox as my default browser, but lately, with it always & constantly updating itself to new version that, I don't see any improvement, but only bring headaches and pissed me off especially in the middle of checking out something online and all of a sudden, everything just freezes, and the only way for me to continue was to run my CTRL+alt+DELETE button to stop the running of FireFox because it is not responding.
This really sucks. I have been using FireFox as my default browser for years, and I do think that it's the best browser in the world, but man, I sure wish the people at mozilla.org would stop updating FireFox to become a non-working-browser. I just don't see it got any better, but only got worser!
The best FireFox version, to me, was FireFox 3.6 version. I loved using it, but it's not available anymore.
Is there a way I can continue to use FireFox 3.6?
Thanks.

It is possible to install and run Firefox 3.6, but it is not advisable as it is out of date and not secure. If you are doing webdesign you will presumably mainly wish to test the latest versions of Firefox rather than an insecure version that is used but only a very small minority of users.
* see [[Install an older version of Firefox]] (The article cautions against use of previous versions, but then provides a download link)
* you may also be interested in [[Common questions after upgrading from Firefox 3.6]]
If you suffer from crashes see
* [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]
If you have corporate users as clients they may be using Firefox ESR which has a longer period between major upgrades

Why won't my macbook pro accept both 4gb Ram, It will only use a 4gb and a 2gb?

I have a mid 2009 2.6 Ghz 15" macbook pro, and recently purchased two samsund ddr3 4gb 1600hz 204 pin RAM. I removed my two 2gb standard Ram from my macbook pro, and inserted the two 4gb Ram. When I turned the computer one it began using its 3 beep sequence as if the Ram fail, so I removed one 4gb Ram and reinserted a 2gb Ram and the computer started. It said I had total 6 gb ram. I am wonderind why It won't accept both of the 4gb Ram.

Exactly what Kappy and Stedman1 states.
The RAM you purchased is way out of specs for what you need.
Go and return or exchange them for either a set of Crucial, Corsair, Mushkin or Kingston (non value) RAM.

2GB or 4GB RAM Macbook Air

I want to buy a new Macbook Air, I was planning to buy the 4GB model, but there is a great deal in a nearby store for a 2GB model and now I don't know what to do.
The 'great deal' is a Macbook Air 13" 2GB RAM but with a 256GB SSD and a 1,86GHz processor for €1249 and you get a JAMO I200 white iPod system (worth €155) for free, which is something I don't really need, but I can use it.
The model I was planning to buy was the standard 13", 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 1,7GHz for €1203 (I'm a student so I get the student price)
I will use the MBA for Safari, music on iTunes, Mail, text editing (microsoft office and iWork), ... This won't happen a lot, but I will sometimes use it to edit pictures with iPhoto or maybe Aperture. So I won't be doing heavy video editing or something like that. I'm a modal student who wants a new macbook for basic stuff.
So my question is, should I buy the 2GB version with a better processor and bigger SSD + the iPod speaker, or should I buy a 4GB RAM version but with less SSD and a 1,7GHz processor?
Thanks.

Caution: the MacBook Air with the 1.86 GHz processor has probably a previous generation (late-2010) Core2Duo CPU. 2 GB RAM is also a bare minimum. You'll get more lifetime out of your Air with 4 GB of RAM.
The mid-2011 MacBook Air has a Core i5 processer, which at 1.7 GHz is considerably faster than, e.g., an 2,13GHz Core2Duo CPU (i5 CPU supports 4 virtual cores, and has a faster memory bus than the previous generation Air). The new MacBook Air also has improved power management and efficiency (i.e. it runs less hot when displaying multimedia, or doing some more heavy computing).
If you need to save money, check out "Apple Certified Refurbished" on the Apple Store web site of your country. The refurbished Oct 2010 13"-model (2.13 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD), e.g., is currently €1199 (incl. tax) in the German web store.
