  • I get firefox.exe Application Error memory could ot be read, instruction 0x10008d37.

    When I first open firefox, a window opens in the center of the screen. The title of the window is firefox.exe-Application Error there is a red circle with a white x on the left side of the box. Written in the box is: The instruction at 0x10008d37 referenced memory at 0xfffffff. The memory could not be read. then it gives two choices. Click on ok to terminate the program or Click on cancel to debug the program. Cancel and ok shuts down firefox. If you move the box out of the way, you can use firefox to surf the net.

    Thanks for the advice. I am afraid I may have bigger issues than my initial problem. I have not been able to load Firefox 8. It will go through the initial steps, then stop, without completing the update. I will try again after i figure out how to get 8 loaded.

    You do not need to start Firefox to disable the Java Quick Starter, you can do that via the Java Control Panel (Control Panel > Java > Advanced)
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • NetscapeDispatchWnd: firefox.exe - Application Error

    Hello,
    My parents asked me if i could speed up their pc.
    Hence, i removed stuff like MSN (they don't use it) and i installed firefox.
    My own 3 pc's all run FF and never have any issues.
    But my parent's pc...
    Every time i close FF i get the following message:
    NetscapeDispatchWnd: firefox.exe - Application Error
    The instruction at 0x7c90229e points to memory at 0x00000000. The read-/writeoperation ("read") on the memory failed.
    Press OK to terminate the application.
    [ OK ]
    I've tried safe-mode, updating plugins and more.
    However no one has ever had this error (or it seems like it).
    So, is there anything else to try???
    Firefox's about::crashes doesn't see it.
    Hence the crash-id of ---------

    "The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000417) occured in the application at location 0x78b2ae6e"
    I get this message when I try to launch Firefox. It just started randomly and I am at a loss.
    I did try launching Firefox in SafeMode and have the same issue. What's going on? Why would this start? Any ideas on how to move forward and fix this?
    I did not try looking for hardware acceleration issues because I did not change anything and honeslty I do not know how to check for this ... please help ... see image

  • Firefox.exe +application error +the application failed to initialize properly (0x0150004) +click on OK to terminate the application.

    Win XP Home SP2
    Installed Firefox, but receive the following error message:
    firefox.exe +application error +the application failed to initialize properly (0x0150004) +click on OK to terminate the application.
    Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but same message. Firefox won't even open.

    Usually someone has been down the track before and occasionally they post some useful details which may help others to investigate and/or eliminate factors in their particular case.
    This AccessibleMarshal.dll error seems to have a long history --- posts from 2006 with early Firefox versions had issues similar to yours.
    There is a link and an excerpt below which could be worth checking in your case,
    particularly since it mentions the problem would occur on a clean install (no previous instance of Firefox on the system and Windows before Vista --??)
    Have a look here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=712960
    and the post to read:
    '''Mark Banner (:standard8) 2011-12-22 12:55:21 PST'''
    "Created attachment 583905 [details] [diff] [review]
    Add the Win32 redistributable directory to the mozconfigs"
    "Somehow we missed shipping the Win32 Redistributables from Visual C++. We didn't detect this as it would only show on Windows versions less than Vista, and you'd probably only see it if you had a completely clean install, and you didn't have the dlls installed elsewhere (as it appears my XP system does)."
    "If you're seeing this then you want to copy the following files from a Firefox installation:
    Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
    msvcm80.dll
    msvcp80.dll
    msvcr80.dll
    The patch I'm attaching updates our configuration files to specify the Win32 redistribution directory, which will then cause the build system to include the files in the build."
    .... ends....
    The earlier 2006 instances also had the same issue in some cases:
