Firefox keeps crashing. I uninstalled/reinstalled/reset in safemode, still keeps crashing on startup.

Please help me get Firefox up and running. I really like to use Firefox, plus all of my passwords are saved in it. Ever since last week, I have not been able to open Firefox. I read several articles on how to fix it and I tried but had no success. Here is what I've tried so far:
-Uninstall, delete program folder. Reinstalled, still wouldn't open
-Reset FireFox in SafeMode, still wouldn't open
Here is the event details from the crash report:

  • FIrefox repeatedly crashes at startup or just after opening a webpage

    Firefox repeatedly crashes on startup or just after opening a new page, I've tried downgrading my browser to FF 18 & the problem still occurs. Firefox won't even run properly in safe mode. I have included the latest crash report: bp-d8715a6c-6208-4420-8df4-cae752130307

    Hi Spirax, if your new profile works after a restart or two, you may want to start back up in your old profile and use the Reset feature. This is a lot easier than manually copying data to your new profile, although that is another option.

  • "firefox already running"problem,uninstalled-reinstalled firefox still no luck,anyone? Thank You

    Firefox was not in the processes in the windows task manager but "already running" would always pop up. Uninstalled reinstalled and "firefox already running"came up again.

    Do you still have the default profile?

  • Firefox keeps freezing on startup, does not quit even from task manager but after 5-6 minutes.

    Firefox keeps freezing at start up. Unfreezes after 5-6 minutes works for a while and then does the same till total crash.
    Have tried everything. Uninstalled firefox and deleted all profiles from everywhere ( roaming and local in Appdata)
    Disabled add ons , started in safe mode , with new profile.
    Windows 7 64 ultimate, fully updated, Adobe also fully updated, all fully updated. Though I have noticed it does not recognize the Adobe flash 16 and says Adobe flash15 as an add on. Nowhere the adobe 15 exists though since it's entries also erased from the registry as well.
    GHistory and cookies where cleaned multiple times. Checked for malaware but everything is clean. Started PC in safe mode and again the same crashing problem with firefox.
    No other browser has problem. IceDragon also no problem and works fine.Neither the Chrome type browsers have any problem.
    any help excluding to eraze my Windows and reinstall all the programs again. Not possible to take this risk for just a browser.
    Thank in advance.

    Please update to the most recent version of Firefox:

  • Firefox 17 crashing on startup

    Since updating to Firefox 17, the browser seems to hang a second or two after it starts up and will not respond to anything. I've tried reinstalling it but the problem persists. What can I do to fix this?

    I'll take this a step further.
    1. I have this problem and then some.
    2. Started last night (11.22.12).
    3. FF froze (not responding...)
    4. Killed with task manager.
    5. Restart FF and it freezes loading home page.
    6. After many attempts, uninstalled FF through Windows, rebooted and reinstalled. Same outcome--freeze on start up.
    7. Uninstalled using Windows and manually trashed everything in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox (keeping my profile and bookmarks in C:\Users\Pop-G\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla in place). Rebooted. Reinstalled. Same outcome, freeze on start up.
    8. Trashed *everything* related to FF. Deleted all traces including registry. Rebooted. Reinstalled FF and using sync, loaded bookmarks. Did NOT load any extension or add-on. Same result...freeze on start up.
    9. Neither Chrome or IE exhibiting this behavior.
    10. FF is my favorite browser....but having to use Chrome now.
    - Using Profile manager won't work as the program freezes before profile manager can be be accessed. Regardless, I trashed the profile and had FF create a new one when I reinstalled. Didn't help.
    -Plugins aren't the issue as I didn't load any after I did a complete, system-wide wipe of FF.
    -Safe mode. Didn't work. A couple of times in this process the start up in safe mode window popped up. If I chose 'start in safe mode' FF would still freeze. If I chose the 'reset' option, nothing would happen. Frozen solid. Again, extensions are not the issue (unless it's one that ships with FF. There were no third party extensions loaded and the program still froze...solid).
    System: Windows 7 x64

  • Firefox consistently crashes at startup

    Firefox is consistently crashing at startup even in safe mode. Only Firefox is giving me problems, Internet Explorer and other programs works fine.
    One of these two things usually happen:
    The first is that it will slow the computer to a crawl and then Werfault will close the program. This usually happens when I first try Firefox after booting. Under Event Viewer it generates the following two Application errors:
    Event 1000 - Faulting application firefox.exe, version 11.0.0.4454, time stamp 0x4f5ecc44, faulting module MSVCR80.dll, version 8.0.50727.6195, time stamp 0x4dcddbf3, exception code 0xc0000006, fault offset 0x0003a7f7, process id 0x1674, application start time 0x01cd092f8d05a15e.
    Event 1005 - Windows cannot access the file C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_none_d09154e044272b9a\msvcr80.dll for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Firefox because of this error.
    Program: Firefox
    File: C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_none_d09154e044272b9a\msvcr80.dll
    Additional Data
    Error value: C000009C
    Disk type: 3
    The second thing that consistently happens not long after the above is if I try Firefox it will instead generate the crash reporter and show this:

    Oddly enough, if I screw with it long enough it may start to work and when it does it will start up and work fine from then on until I shut down my PC. Once it's boot up again, the consistent crashing returns.
    I've searched Google and have tried everything to no avail. I've done clean installs of Firefox, system restore, chkdsk for both system files and bad blocks, registry cleaner, uninstalling all versions of Visual Runtime C++, full scan for malware/virus, etc. and nothing has worked. Help please.

    That can be a problem with accessing the secmod.db file in the profile folder.
    Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox Profile Folder in case there is a problem with the file.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that 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.

  • Firefox 24 crashes upon startup

    We have several workstation in our environment that Firefox is crashing on when trying to start it. This happened after upgrading them from Firefox 23 to Firefox 24. Uninstalling the product and then re-installing it doesn't help. I'm also unable to start it in Safe-Mode.

    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.

  • Sync plugin causes firefox to crash on startup.

    After I install the sync plugin, firefox crashes on startup. Firefox will work in safe-mode. Furthermore firefox will run once in normal mode after being in safe-mode, but then revert back to crashing until the next safe-mode execution.
    I have 4 computers running firefox w/ sync and only one of them displays this problem.

    I have uninstalled and then installed the sync plugin.
    I have uninstalled and the installed firefox.
    I have run firefox -profile-manager and created a new profile.
    Thank you for the info regarding the .so and and log file.
    When firefox crashes nothing is appended to the log file. So I started looking at the access times on WeaveCrypto.so. When firefox successfully starts in normal mode, the access time on the .so in the x86_64 directory is set. However, when firefox crashes the access time does not get set (ie. WeaveCrypto.so is never accessed.)
    I am still confident that this has something to do the extension Firefox Sync 1.5.1 since if it is uninstalled or disabled everything works perfectly. On a side note, this problem is not new to this computer it has occurred with all versions of the extension starting at (I think) 1.3.
    It does not appear to be an extension conflict. The crashes still occur if I disable every extension except Firefox Sync.

  • I am getting an error message with my snap scan ix500 that says the Evernote is not installed properly.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled evernote but it still doesn't work.  Anyone know where evernote stores their files on a Mac/

    I am getting an error message with my snap scan ix500 that says the Evernote is not installed properly when I try to transfer it.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled evernote and the scan snap softward but it still doesn't work.  Anyone know where evernote stores their files on a Mac?  Or had this problem.

    Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
    I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason.  I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
    It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

  • Firefox 7 crashes (on startup) when running on Win7 as standard user.

    Upgraded from 6.02 to 7.0 (automatically) on Win7. Running as standard user, FF 7 crashes on startup. Running with admin rights, FF starts up ok. Was running 6.02 as standard user with no issues. Disabled all plug-ins, and same result. Submitted this without the crash ID as well, but now have figured out how to supply it. Cannot see how to startup FF on win7 in 'safe' mode. Shift key during launch doesn't work. No menu items for 'start ff in safe mode.

    Here's a workaround for users using Oracle ESSO version 11.1.1.5.0 on win7. The workaround removes the startup of the v-GO helper object for mozilla.
    Note that this also means no SSO support for FireFox.
    1st - on installation of ESSO - try turning off the Mozilla helper (custom install).
    A registry fix will also work
    (Try at your own risk and backup before editing the registry.) YMMV for this workaround and other versions/flavors of SSO/Tivoli/v-GO and Windows.
    Key is
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Passlogix\Extensions\AccessManager\StartupApps]
    Remove the line starting "MozHOPath"
    Restart v-GO SSO or reboot

  • Firefox constantly crashes on startup

    Firefox is continually crashing on me. It opens for a few seconds to tell me it can't open my tabs, and then crashes. My Mac OSX is up-to-date, and I ran a virus scan yesterday (before I started having problems with Firefox) and it found nothing. I've tried launching Firefox in safe mode, but still have the problem. I've set up Firefox for automatic updates, so I believe it's up-to-date.

  • Firefox 34 crashes on startup (in safe mode too)

    Ubuntu 14.10, "Mozilla Firefox 34.0". It has started crashing on it's own without any new tabs or sites being opened. It doesn't even run in "safe-mode".
    When I run FF, it shows the main window and if try to restore my tabs, it crashes. Even without restoring, if I click on the "Open menu" icon (top right corner), it still crashes. Not sure if it's a Gtk issue. I tried downgrading to FF 33 and that was crashing even without showing the main window.

    Also, the crash happens with the pre-built binary too (FF 35 that I downloaded from the website)

  • If I uninstall/reinstall, will my emails still be there?

    I am having a couple of problems with Thunderbird (very slow recovery after I delete an email and inability to retrieve gmail emails) which lead me to want to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird on my computer. If I do that, will all my emails (folders and subfolders) be retained, or do I have to do something to ensure that they are saved? I've read a bunch of articles about backing up profiles, but frankly, I find that pretty confusing, as I don't know what all is included in a profile and whether I have different ones for my main (non-gmail) email and gmail. If uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird can be done without deleting all the emails, I'd just as soon do that. Is it practical? Thanks!

    Thank you, Matt. I wasn't entirely clear on the difference between deleting and unsubscribing, but I have done as you suggested and "All Mail" is no longer showing. I'm still mystified as to why Thunderbird quit working with gmail and then suddenly started up again, but I'm cautiously optimistic!
