Firefox keeps crashing. Signature - mozilla::FrameLayerBuilder::DrawThebesLayer(mozilla::layers::ThebesLayer*, gfxContext*, nsIntRegion const&, nsIntRegion const&, void*)

Firefox keeps crashing unexpectedly. It doesn't matter which page I'm on, or what I'm doing. I last a few minutes and then it crashes without warning.
Any ideas?
This is the most recent signature I have for a crash report:
Signature - mozilla::FrameLayerBuilder::DrawThebesLayer(mozilla::layers::ThebesLayer*, gfxContext*, nsIntRegion const&, nsIntRegion const&, void*)

Please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

  • Firefox keeps crashing.

    I have a Dell Windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine.
    Firefox keeps crashing. "Sorry. Firefox had to close. We'll try to restore your page." (Not exact message.)
    I have screen shots of the details, which are always the same. The first two lines of the details are: AdapterDeviceID: 0x2e22
    AdapterVendorID: 0x8086
    With the help of technicians I have tried the following fixes, none of which work:
    Checked my video drivers.
    Updated my Intel drivers.
    Fiddled with the compatibility window. Tried Windows 7 and Windows XP. Checked and unchecked various items.
    Clicked on Mozilla's "troubleshoot compatibility," which made some changes.
    I am not computer-savvy. However, anyone who cares to respond can make your suggestions as technical as you need to; I'll share them with my technician.

    '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''''' {web link}
    While you are in safe mode;
    Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.

    These are out-of-memory crashes where all available memory is used up.
    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    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
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Firefox keeps crashing when I search something up on Google

    Firefox keeps crashing when I search something up on Google. The homepage for Google works fine but once I search for anything, the program just freezes. Whats wrong? I am running the new Firefox 4.0, Windows 7 64-bit. This problem never happened with Firefox 3.6

    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.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    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 keeps crashing after Lollipop update on HTC One M8. Won't even open!

    After updating my firmware/software to the new Lollipop OS, Firefox keeps crashing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling directly from the Googe Play Store and still nothing. When I click the Firefox icon the browser opens and then I immediately get a "We're Sorry, Firefox has crashed" notification. How can this be remedied? I've downloaded Dolphin Browser and might just not come back to Mozilla unfortunately if this continues...

    i would suggest the following steps:
    1. goto application manager, find firefox, press all available button to clear everything.
    if it doesn't work, proceed with:
    2. uninstall firefox
    3. turn off the phone, boot into recovery mode and wipe the cache (this is NOT hard reset and you will not lose your stuff).
    4. reboot and reinstall firefox
    hope it helps!

    hello, unfortunately this seems to be a crash that is appearing in firefox 19 on windows 8 with AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphics cards - developers are investigating the causes of it...
    the best option probably is to downgrade to the to the former version at the moment until this gets sorted out: [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/18.0.2/win32/
    the auto-update in firefox 18 for the affected systems is now disabled and will be turned back on when a fix is available.

  • Ever since last Fri's update Firefox keeps crashing on most websites I visit. I've had no response to all the crash reports.

    I'm operating a new laptop using Windows 7. Ever since the update last Fri, Firefox keeps crashing on most websites I visit. It's very frustrating. I've browsed to folder C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components but there is no file nsBrowserOpt.dll.

    Mozilla do not respond to crash reports that have been submitted. they are used to help analyze the causes of the crashing in order to make Firefox more stable.
    Can you post some of the recent crash report IDs as shown in the [[Firefox crashes]] article, that may help somebody identify the cause of your crashes.
