  • My Firefox updated about 2 hours ago. Now it crashes everytime I try to open it. Could someone please help me? I am now stuck on IE :(

    My Firefox updated about two hours ago. When I tried to open it after the update, it crashed and so I chose to start a new session. Now it won't open and I get a message saying "Firefox has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to this problem... Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Please help.

    Have you tried closing the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it
    Have you tried closing the app via the taskbar ? (I assume that your iPad is on iOS 6, though the version that your tagline shows, 6.1.6, is not a version for iPads) From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • 2 issues: 1. Firefox crashes everytime I try to open QuickBooks online 2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. Please advise.

    2 issues:
    1. Firefox crashes every time I try to open QuickBooks online. I have submitted numerous crash reports.
    2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. I have set the default to Microsoft Outlook and also tried changing it to Gmail. Each time I click an email link on any web site, however, it just opens up a blank page instead of one of my email programs.

    I'm not clear on where you are seeing that text. When I view Google's cached page from the page found in this search
    https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asitetrail.com%2Faskearth.com
    It doesn't match yours exactly. There is an iframe with a Google map in it in the "Hosting Analysis" section, which in your pasted page seems to be the "Site Server" section.
    Which Google site did you search?

  • Firefiox 7.0.1 crashes everytime I try to open. It immediately goes to a crash box for me to either restart or quit Firefox.

    When I select restart it send a report and takes me back t the crash dialog box. As such I have no way to get into Firefox. I have reloaded Firefox 7.0.1 from fresh downloads twice and still have the same issue. I've unsuccessfully looked for earlier version of Firefox to reinstall but have not been able to locate any on the web.

  • Firefox crashes everytime I try to open a new tab

    Since today, Firefox crashes every time without fail if I open a new tab (either using keyboard shortcut or the new tab button). This more or less makes firefox unusable. I tried to reinstall but didnt work. I also attempted to disable all addons. I'm not sure if I have to uninstall a plugin?
    Note:
    Opening an link from another page does not result in a crash.

  • Just installed Quadro 4000 Mac, now Premiere crashes when I try to open existing project

    Mac Pro 4,1
    Premiere Pro 5.5
    OS X 10.6.8
    I just replaced the stock ATI card with a PNY Quadro 4000 for Mac.
    Via CUDA Preferences, have updated CUDA driver to 4.0.50
    GPU driver is 1.6.37.0 (256.02.25f01)
    When I try to open any existing Premiere project, Premiere crashes.
    This happens whether I'm running the OS X 32-bit kernel or the 64-bit kernel.
    If I launch Premiere and create a new project, Premiere seems to run OK. (I haven't yet tried adding any content or working with the content.)
    As you can imagine, the only reason I shelled out for the CUDA-capable card was to take advantage of the hardware acceleration in Mercury. So ... not a very satisfying "upgrade" so far.
    Any clues?

    There are four sequences in all. Two are super-simple, with only one clip in each. A third has only a single clip plus four titles. The main sequence has multiple clips, two stills and three titles plus one extra audio track.
    When the crash occurs, there's no error dialog box. What I see is this:
    After I double-click the project file -- or open Premiere and choose the project from the splash screen -- the "loading" progress bar appears and seems to complete loading.
    Premiere starts to draw the window for its workspace. It creates a solid white rectangle, the wristwatch "wait" icon appears briefly, then Premiere crashes.
    The log captured by the Apple and Adobe crash reporters shows (among much else):
    Exception Type:  EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
