Firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to shut down

1.After opening & using Firefox for about 5 minutes the message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" is displayed & Firefox is closed.
2.Also,I selected the option to restore Firefox from the last session while closing, but Firefox always starts with a new page.I lost all the previous tabs

I was having this problem few days ago,and I have fixed.Try this steps-If you have AVG antivirus so go on firefox>Tools>Add On and Disable AVG safe search and AVG tool bars too.Then restart computer.

  • Frequent "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" window. Need to disable adblock plus and AVG safe search to continue. Any way to fix?

    For about a third of websites I visit, at some point I receive a "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" window. I have to disable both Adblock plus and AVG safe search in order to continue. This used to happen for two or so sites, and I disabled the ad-ons before going to those sites. It has increased to the point that the adblock plus and safe search ad-ons are becoming pretty useless. Is there any way to rectify this problem. Sending error reports has no effect.

    Have you changed anything in the Photoshop installation areas?  If the updater doesn't find a pristine installation it will fail.
    The only area you should ever put anything into is the plug-ins subfolder.  Everything else is hands-off.

  • After updating Firefox it will no longer open and i get the message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" end of story.

    Firefox was working well. One day I logged on to use Firefox and was prompted to update my version which I did. After or during the update the following message was given on the screen "firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close". It closed and now every time I click on the firefox icon I get the same message from Microsoft. That is all the information I get. Each time I go to open Firefox I get the same message. There is an error message attached to the Microsoft dialog box, but I don't understand what it means.
    I have sent it to Microsoft but no reply.

    Make sure that you aren't running Firefox in some compatibility mode (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29 Rosetta]).

  • Starting Firefox I get the "Send Error Report" popup window. It states "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    This just started today. Everything seems fine. I just push the popup off to the side and continue to use the browser. If I were to click on the, "Send Error Report" or the "Don't Send" buttons then Firefox just closes!
    Strangest thing yet, trying to figure it out!
    Oh, I tried the reboot without add-ons! Even did the reinstall, still the same???

    Just got back online, still working on things, BUT ???
    I went back and dumped Norton's which I get for free from Comcast. I downloaded the AVG scanner. Went through all the bells & whistles and things seem ok ???? But I haven't done the reboot yet, so will do that soon. But I wanted to drop a line here and let you all know what is happening.
    And Thanks Fred, the funny thing was it did seem to have something to do with their update??? I do like Norton's but my son uses this AVG and he said it was better, lol!!! But again, everyone has their favorite!
    Mine is Norton's so once I confirm that everything is good, I'm going to try redoing Norton's and I'll try your suggestions, if they don't fix it!!
    Thanks again, and will let you know if this is the fixed!!!

  • Firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close

    I have a laptop that runs on Windows XP SP3. I download and install Firefox 13.0. It was working. I turned off the laptop, then turned it on some time later. Whenever I click Firefox, the error message appears, however, I can still use Firefox. Firefox will close if I click "close" in the error message. The only way I can browse the web using Firefox is to drag the error message off screen and then continue on my work.
    I'm sure no one would like an error message just hanging around off screen. I researched for a solution but it seems none of it work.
    1 - "It might be a problem with the plugins/add-ons." I turned off all my plugins/add-ons, restarted Firefox, and I still got the error message.
    2 - "Try Firefox in safe mode." I did and I still got the error message.
    3 - "It might be malware." I did a full scan using Avast and Advanced SystemCare Pro. Still got the error message.
    4 - "Do a reinstall." I still got the error message
    I've tried everything with no results.'

    Try to do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded 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.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    You can also try a new profile to see if that helps.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I've begun getting the error message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" when clicking on some links.

    This happens especially with certain news sites (e.g., NY Times), but also with others. I've updated Firefox and plugins, and checked for the malware file nsBrowserOpt.dll in the components folder of Firefox. My antivirus is up to date. I was able to access the problem sites with IE, though Explorer gave me a similar error message this morning.

    I'm asking for more information.
    Please try that in [[safe mode]] and check for the issue.

  • I keep getting the "Bonjour has encountered a problem and needs to shut down." and I can't print anything. I've downloaded latest version and updates and nothing helps. I need my printer to work. Help!

    I am getting this error message every time I turn on the computer. I have the Airport Extreme wireless router. This has been occuring for the last 2-3 months. I have been to the support page and downloaded current versions and updates. I don't think I have a firewall ( I have AVG virus protection). Also, the scanner part of my printer/scanner/copier has not worked since we installed the router. Help!

    The modname is mDNSResponder
    The modver is 2.0.4.0
    2.0.4.0?
    By way of experiment, try installing the latest version of iTunes for Windows:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    That should update your mDNSResponder to version 2.0.5.0 ... with the newer Bonjour componentry in place, do you still get the error when switching on the PC?
    If so, is the modver being shown now 2.0.5.0? Or is it still 2.0.4.0?

  • APS Daemon.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close the computer

    On my Lenovo laptop at home, I am getting a message:  " APS Daemon.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close the computer".
    This message appears after my computer (lap-top at home)  gets automatically shut down and is restarted by me.
    I believe that, this file pertains to an "Apple application Support Application" and impacts the PC only when I am transferring CDs to iTunes (for my iPad 2)
    Any help in resoloving this problem is highly appreciated.

  • Adobe Muse.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    I get this message when trying to open  muse. It happened after an upgrade.
    "Adobe Muse.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Is there anything I can do?

    Please send me ([email protected]) the MuseLog.txt file from your Documents folder.

    on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Preferences
    on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\
    on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Roaming

  • LiveCam.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Constant Error. HELP PLEASE

    Alright so basically, my parents got a buy-one-get-one-free offer on webcams at christmas, and so they gave me one for my own as i lost my old one. Everything was working fine, seemed like a great camera.
    However, randomly one evening when i tried to open Live! Cam Center to record a video, it refused to open, instead giving me a small white box with the loading symbol inside (thats where live! cam center usually opens out into the UI) and a boz saying "LiveCam.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.".
    Now i thought that it was just a random one-off thing, but it happens EVERY time, WITHOUT fail. The cam works fine on MSN and skype etc, just when i try to record anything or manually take pictures , cam center doesn't work. And it doesn't seem to just be cam center, almost every software i've tried for just plain recording/capturing failed.
    Tried updating to latest drivers and software, tried using older versions, tried using the cam from my family pc (identical cam) - failed, tried using all different USB ports randomly, failed. I'm really desperate here now, i'm at the point where i'm almost going to give it away and buy a non-creative webcam cos its really annoying.
    My webcam is the Live! Cam Video IM Pro. Here's a copy of the error report from windows, its the same every time:
    AppName: livecam.exe AppVer: 2.2.3.0 ModName: ctvidcap2.dll
    ModVer: 2.2.3.0 Offset: 00002ca
    PLEASE HELP! IM DESPERATE >_

    IMO, seeing that you are using WinXP, you might be better off with the older Flash 10.3.183.90 version. Flash 11.0 and later have "improvements" that don't work on WinXP - only Vista and later. Adobe did continue to support and provide security updates for Flash 10.3 until a few months before WinXP went EOL back in April of this year.
