Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

  • Firefox is unresponsive when I open my Macbook Pro or wake it up from sleeping. Is there a fix for this problem?

    Whenever I open up my Macbook Pro, Firefix is unresponsive. I can see all of my tabs, but nothing (except the top pull-down menus) are clickable. If I wait a few minutes it seems to work again, but I usually have to force quit. Anyone else have this problem?

    Firefox uses plugin-container.exe to run Flash and other plugins. The theory is that if the plugin were to crash, it would not crash all your tabs, just any active plugins. Are you getting a message that a plugin crashed?
    If I understand the problem correctly, Firefox is hanging or freezing when trying to open a link, and you are exiting Firefox, after which it won't start up again until you kill firefox.exe in the Task Manager.
    Have you noticed any pattern to when Firefox freezes or stalls?
    How are you exiting Firefox (for example, from the menu vs. red X button vs. Ctrl+Alt+Delete)?
    In case you haven't seen it, this article might be useful: [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]].

  • Firefox 15 crashing when started from Command line in Windows 15

    I have been loading my work space via a batch file everyday for the past 4 years.
    One of the apps I start is Firefox using the following command:<br />
    @start /D"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\" firefox.exe
    My batch file would run, and close with no issue.
    As of Firefox 15, using the same command now ties Firefox to the console.
    When I close the console, Firefox closes, when I open it again from the standard shortcut, I get the "Firefox has crashed"
    I also notice that since upgrading to Firefox 15, some console.log calls go to the Windows Console while firefox is loading. Most notably is HTTPSEverywhere.
    When I rolled back to Firefox 14, the issue disappeared

    Hi,
    I'm really sorry to have caused this regression.
    Thanks for reporting this issue, I've done various tests before submitting my patch but I totally missed that issue...
    It is now matter of getting my fix reviewed and landed, but in the meantime, I tried to craft an addon that would hopefully fix your issues.
    You can download it here:

  • Firefox continually crashes when started up.

    I open Firefox, and it crashes 5 seconds later. During those five seconds I click on 'Restore' and then it still crashes. After a few crashes I get the option to start in safe mode or restart, when I open in safe mode it still crashes. I haven't tried to reset it as I would like to keep all my settings...

    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 with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • Firefox stops responding when starting

    Basically, Firefox has worked fine for 3 months on this computer, no problems. I haven't installed any new add-ons since I set it up initially. I closed out of my session, went and had lunch, came back and now within 5-10 seconds after starting up Firefox, it freezes. I deleted my cache and nothing changed. I can't use the profile manager because you have to be in Firefox to do so, and it immediately stops responding.
    I did a complete reinstall after wiping everything that I could, and it worked for one full session. When I closed it and opened it again, same thing as before. Only thing different from today from yesterday was a single game installation (Sim City 4 what whaaat), otherwise there's been no change to my computer's files.
    Any help?

    Are you getting any error message or no
    When Firefox hangs, it stops responding to your clicks and keystrokes and doesn't seem to be doing anything. Also, a "(Not Responding)" label is displayed in the title bar and the mouse becomes a spinning wait cursor when it's over the Firefox window. This article gives you solutions to Firefox hangs depending on when they happen

  • I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD FIREFOX EACH TIME WHEN STARTING THE COMPUTER. WHEN I CLICK ON THE DESK ICON NOTHING HAPPENS AND IT ALSO DISAPPEARS FROM THE TASKBAR

    the firefox icon disappears from the taskbar when the computer is switched off and clicking desktop icon does not help so every time I have to download firefox again through Explorer. I know that the program is stored somewhere on my computer but it's not clickable and requires new downloading.

    I you see javascript: then that means that there is an onclick event attached to the link, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if such a link isn't working.
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)
    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

    1. You have a pre-release Beta 1 version of what will become Firefox 4 in like 5 or 6 months. Unless you are intending to test it for flaws and report those flaws to help in the development process, don't use it.
    2. Did you create a new Profile for 4.0b1, and are you using that Profile with it? ''That isn't done automatically when you install 4.0b1, and those of us who have been doing the "testing" for many years consider a new Profile as the basis of doing out testing.''
    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles]
    IMO, Mozilla is making a huge mistake by directly offering these beta versions to the general public.
    Also IMO. if you want to play with 4.0b1, use the Portable Firefox 4.0beta version to minimize any conflicts with a currently installed version of Firefox, and to eliminate the need for creating a new Profile for 4.0 Beta #:
    Download Firefox Portable Test to your hard drive and double click the '''FirefoxPortableTest_4.0_Beta_#_English.paf.exe''' file. The entire installation (including a new Profile for "Portable") will be self-contained in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\ folder and won't interfere with an "official" version that you already have installed. Your Profile will be in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\Data\profile\ folder.
    The "down side" is that Firefox Portable won't launch if any other version of Firefox is already running.

  • ITunes unresponsive when starting up with iPod touch plugged in.

    Whenever I start up my iTunes with my iPod plugged in, iTunes is unresponsive for a few minutes. However if I start it up without it plugged in, it works fine. I've also noticed that if I start up the program with my iPod plugged in, then unplug it, iTunes will start responding. I have done a fresh install before some time back and it worked fine after, but now it's acting up again. Is there any ideas on how to solve this?

    I forgot to mention, whenever it does sync, it just gets stuck staying "verrifying ipod".
    Try having that topped off with freezing.

  • Firefox stops responding when started up

    As soon as I start Firefox the program stops responding and I cannot do anything but end the process.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:

  • Why does "wecome to firefox"always open when starting firefox?

  • Firefox keeps crashing on start-up

    Since Sunday evening (3-3-13) Firefox immediately crashes when I try to start: The windows that is opened just freezes and sometimes it doesn't even open at all (although the process is running).
    Curious thing is that when I remove Firefox and re-install it, it works completely fine UNTIL I close the browser and try to open it again. Then it's back to crashing again.
    Firefox also crashes when starting it in safe mode and it even crashes if I try to make a new profile. Basically, every Firefox thing crashes. When I boot Windows in safe mode the browser runs fine again though.
    No crash reports are created so I can't provide those.

    Hello, if it works in Windows Safe mode there is a problem with other software, likely security software or a system driver, that is running on your pc. Make sure that you have the latest updates of your security software.
    If you like use the Autoruns utility and check which software and services gets started, but be careful if you want to disable a specific service : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
    thank you

  • Firefox becomes unresponsive (has timeout error) when trying to print very long webpages (e.g. 100 pages).

    I need to print off one long webpage containing a whole load of customer invoices. For anything up to about 40 pages this is not a problem. However, if the webpage contains more pages Firefox is unable to cope.
    While data is being sent to the printer a little green progress bar appears. This bar continues for a while and then stops. Some sort of timeout error appears (i can't remember the wording) and firefox becomes unresponsive. I have to start task manager in order to close Firefox.
    I then have to open a different browser in order to print the long webpage.
    Anyone know of any settings I can play with to fix this?

    Hi,
    Please also try this setting: Windows start menu or Control Panel > '''Devices and Printers''', right-click the printer > '''Printer properties''' > '''Advanced''', and select '''Start printing after the last page is spooled'''. In this case you can also close Firefox after spooling is over (usually much faster than direct printing), and printing will continue.
    Also as a general case, if you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time.
