Firefox is crashing upon opening, crash report Bugzilla check says crash reason is EXC_BAD_ACCESS / KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE, signature is'sqlite3step' - help!

I have been having this problem for months now, have re-installed Firefox several times, no resolution. It also will not start in SAFE mode. I did have an error message about 'Kernel Failure' before all this Firefox trouble - I am no computer expect, am I just better off taking my Mac [OS X] to the local Mac repair person?
thanks!

Hi Guigs2, Thank You for the reply. Was getting worried no one was going to help me. I am not sure how to attach the crash report. I have copied and pasted it here:

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files

Hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help?

Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

A complete uninstall/reinstall is worth a crack with that one:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Firefox is not saving open tabs when closing, it says other session of Firefox is running but this is not the case.

Firefox used to save open tabs when closing the browser. This no longer happens and Firefox says other session running. Task Manager shows that this is not the case.
Recently installed an flv/mpeg viewer "aLot" which placed a toolbar in Firefox.
Am running Firefox 3.0.5 on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.

Your useragent says your are running Firefox 3.6.13 -> is that true.
If not, do the following and post back your new Firefox version:
* Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
* If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
* Filter = general.useragent.
* Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
* Then restart Firefox

Firefox keeps crashing even after trying the suggestions in your helpful articles.

I get this error message: Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
Firefox crashes within a few minutes of being on Internet. Most Web pages crash. I need to open multiple tabs to work, and it always crashes soon after I start to work. This began after updating to 4. I replaced 4 with the older version, but the problem keeps happening. This is part of the crash message I get, but it's crashed several times & reports aren't exactly the same. I also disabled Silverlight plugin, another recommended solution. That didn't work either.

That looks like a problem with your BitDefender AV software (BdProvider.dl, avcuf32.dll)
You can try to disable BD extensions or check advanced settings for Firefox in BD.
You can also try to contact BD for support.
Quote: ''I ran the sessions in safe mode and it did not crash, so it is not my add-ons.''
If Firefox didn't crash in Safe Mode then it is likely caused by an extension.

After downloading the newer version of Firefox, I now cannot open the NYTimes crossword puzzle with Across lite (I could do it before). Help!

Yestereday I downloaded the newer version of Firefox. I also as recommended did the same for Adobe Flash. When I went to NYTimes site to print a crossword puzzle (as I do everyday) using AcrossLite, I got this error message: /Users/mary/Downloads/Jun0911-1.puz could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file.
I tried updating AcrossLite to see if that made a difference. I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.7

Mozilla are aware of the issue in Firefox 3.6.14 and are working on a fix, no timescale but they are planning on a quick release.
A workaround pending the release of 3.6.15 is to install 3.6.13, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/pogo-and-other-java-pages-dont-work

Firefox disables my QuicktimePlayer plugin, although the plugin-check says it is up to date

I am running Firefox 21 (I have not been prompted to update to 22 yet) on MacOS 10.6.8 and in the last two days when I try to view a page that requires the QuicktimePlayer plugin, I see an error message saying that the plugin is outdated and it has been disabled for safety reasons. I can re-activate it from the red icon that appears on the left of the address bar, but what I have noticed is that when I do the plugin check, QuicktimePlayer appears to be up to date! The version of the plugin is 7.6.6 and there is no newer version for my system as far as I know. Is there any way to fix this or is it a known bug?

QuickTime Plugin 7.7.0 and lower (click-to-play), Mac OS X has been blocked for your protection.
check: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p408
The plugin is being checked at the moment (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=837377) so lets keep fingers crossed to see the problem resolved.

Firefox crashes upon open - won't send crash report; crash report info summarized below

I have one computer that crash every time I start Firefox. Ocassionally the firefox window will appear for less than a second and then the Crash Report Window shows up; most times it goes right to Crash Report Window. Then it is for some reason unable to send the crash repor; it keeps looping back to the crash report. I've checked my modem and router are operating correctly; I have another computer that's working fine. I've run scan for Trojans, viruses and still see the problem. Any help would be very much appreciated as I'm stuck at this point. For what it's worth, Internet Explorer has the same problem, crashing upon opening.
== Crash ID(s) ==
not available

Hello. I have a similar problem to the question of Ryan Vaught, (Firefox crashes upon open - won't send crash report; crash report info summarized below [MY] Firefox version: prior one to 3.6.7 Operating System: Windows XP Provessional). Mine is a bit different tho. Firefox seems to be crashing and my internet crashes right with it. When it does this, it also takes out some Win32 system .exe files. I too have ran AVG (Full Coverage /Purchased one) and then updated to Viper (Sunbelt Software) and it comes up clean of any viruses, etc. Once it crashes and I close Firefox, the crash report request comes up. When I hit send, it says it cannot be sent with no additional information as to why. I just updated Firefox to 3.6.7 and sure hope this helps, but it almost always happens when I am playing games that use flash. I can send a screenshot if you need it and feel free to edit my question if need be. I've checked my Viper settings and can get to all the websites so far trying to rule it out. Deleted my internet set up and then added it back as a new connection (hope that made sense), so I don't know who to be asking this question of, but hoping you may know the answer why I can't send the crash report. Whew! Sorry for the lengthy question/issue. Your help is greatly appreciated!! Carolyn Burnam

Firefox is crashing repeatedly upon opening. There are a 3 different signature reasons, but this is the most common: Signature: memmove | nsCacheMetaData::SetElement(char const*, char const*)

This started yesterday afternoon, where Firefox crashes immediately upon opening. I do have a lot of tabs that open upon start (this is done with the "Morning Coffee" add-on), but this has never been a problem before. This morning, I had 5 separate crashes, all in a row:
Signature: memmove | nsCacheMetaData::SetElement(char const*, char const*)
Signature: PR_EnterMonitor
Signature: _PR_MD_PR_POLL
Signature: memmove | nsCacheMetaData::SetElement(char const*, char const*)
Signature: memmove | nsCacheMetaData::SetElement(char const*, char const*)
However, I WAS able to open up Firefox and get it to run without crashing when I did so with no tabs automatically opening.
Can someone help?
Thanks !!!!

Firefox crashes upon opening, despite having tried all help suggestions and re-installing new version.

I have a MAC: 2006, but intel Core Duo; version 10.4.11
I have had some difficulties with my Firefox recently: crashing occasionally, not always loading a page on the first try, saved e-mails or passwords working off and on. I trashed my current version of Firefox (I was told by my tech guys to uninstall it and download a new version, but I couldn't find an uninstall package for mozilla, so I dragged it to the Trash) and I uninstalled flip4MAC, too. I tried to download version 4, but my system could not run it, so I downloaded 3. 16. 12 - it worked really great for a while, but then started to revert to its old problems and my tech guys said I might not have done a complete uninstall- I am a bit of a techno-peasant, so I may have not done it properly. In the meantime, I upgraded my Internet service with Bell and was going to download Snow Leopard- I have Tiger- to see if that helped, but after the upgrade, Mozilla won't even open at all; the window comes up with a tab that says "restore session" and it freezes immediately and then closes with a crash report and an icon in the apps bar called "Crash Reporter." I have copied the incident report and am including it with this email. Bell tech support says it is not their issue, it's mine, which I think is probably correct, but why did it completely crash after the upgrade?
I did go on Mozilla Firefox's website for support through Safari, and tried all the suggestions, but Safari's Mozilla Firefox only displays the search bar and not the address bar, so I used the tip to got ''library/,'' etc to get the crash i.d. I was able to get the i.d., but when I typed in the url with my crash id, I got an error message: File not Found. I tried it more than once, so I copied it from one of the reports sent to you guys and I only hope that you are able to use the crash info I submitted below (after Trouble shooting info).

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

I have used Firefox for the last number of years but now it crashes upon opening.

I have used Firefox for the last number of years but now it crashes upon opening. I have unistalled and installed (version 6) but still it crashes. It does not start in safe mode either. I have read the various help support but I seem to be going around in circles. I am not a computer geek so please bear with me. Thank you.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Upgraded to Firefox 8, but now it won't open-- even in Safe Mode. It crashes upon opening.

My husband installed Firefox 8 today. Since then, he can't open Firefox - it tries to open but immediately crashes and asks to send an error report. He's researched your help pages, tried to load Firefox in Safemode, but same thing occurs. Has rebooted numerous times. He "Restored to an earlier time in the day" using Norton GoBack after uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalled it. Same exact problem occured. The restore option is no longer available.
He using a Dell PC with Windows XP3. It's not on this PC - His PC is now not working well, so if you have specific questions about his OS/add-ons, let us know. Thanks

I had the exact same problem. If you happen to have an old version of Roboform installed try closing it and then running FF. Roboform was making mine crash to the error report every time.
The newest version of Roboform does work in FF8.

Every version of firefox 6 won't open, I just get that crash report. Every time this has happened I reinstall firefox 5 which works fine. Anybody out there have a similar problem, any help would be appreciated

I had this issue. I went to c:\program files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
I renamed my plugins folder to plugins.old.
It recreated the Plugins folder and all was good again. I have since reinstalled the plugins I've been prompted to install.
