Firefox keeps freezing with new tab even in safe mode

Firefox keeps freezing, so there's no chance of even a crash report, I can only get out via TaskManager/End process. I usually have dict and thesaurus open while writing, usually with second tab my browser is a still.
It's very annoying as it's also stuck on my screen for a while so I can't continue to work.
I really need that to work or I have to switch to a different browser!
Thank you.
Here are crash reports while I still got there:

  • Firefox immediately switching to new tab even when that feature is disabled on right-click open in new tab or on ctrl+click a link. Please help.

    Firefox switches immediately to new tab or the immediate next tab if multiple tabs are open, even when the respective feature is disabled, whenever I open a link by -
    1. Right-click > open in new tab
    2. Ctrl + click a link
    Earlier it did not happen like this. It is really very annoying. Re-installation and clean installation of the latest version did not helped.
    And this is happening mainly when I am using Facebook. Earlier it never happened so with Facebook.

    I don't have the divX plug-in and I still have this problem. Why should plug-ins that are not even triggered by the affected pages alter Firefox's behavior. Feels like bad architecture.

  • Firefox open links in new tab even if its shuold not be opened in a new tab

    when i open a link it will open in a new tab even i fix the settings still it opens i new tabs. how can i fix this?

    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.<br />
    That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.<br />
    Links that do not specify a target should open in the current tab.<br />
    If that isn't the case then you may have an extension interfering.

  • Firefox won't keep me logged into Facebook, even in Safe Mode?

    This problem has been bugging me, for God knows how long and I just can't get rid of it, unless I reset Firefox which is really not want I want to be doing just to get rid of this tiny, but irritating problem.
    Firefox never remembers to be signed in still to Facebook, even in Safe Mode without extensions.
    How can I get rid of this problem? If it isn't possible without resetting, I'd like a simple and concise tutorial on how to get all my extensions and settings back (however obviously not the one that keeps causing this problem). I've been using this Firefox profile for at least a good few years and it's all set up properly for my personal use. Thanks.

    firefox is able to keep different cookie settings on a per-site basis. those probably got cleared when you forgot the history about facebook. you can inspect the current permissions while you're on a site when you right-click it, go to ''view page info > permissions''. if you haven't changed that yourself intentionally, then i also don't really know what might have caused that - maybe an addon was interfering?

  • Firefox experiences random crashes which persist even in safe mode (linux + gnome)

    Since maybe version 29, my Firefox has become less stable than before and started to crash for seemingly no reason; sometimes it crashed shortly after started with few tabs on, and sometimes it crashed when many tabs were open or (not constantly) with music playing. In short I cannot find an exact pattern by which crashes are triggered. Only one thing is certain, once it broke down, it kept crashing on every restart (even in safe mode or with the user preference directory reset by a complete removal), until a reboot.
    I checked some threads, where people suggest that such random crashes may be caused by a flawed RAM, but I feel it unlikely because in this same system no other software (including Chromium) have shown similar problem, and on Windows the same computer Firefox (v31) has been rather stable.
    Although it didn't happen frequently, the need to reboot the computer before Firefox gets usable again is really annoying. I appreciate a lot if anyone could give some hints, thanks.
    The environment:
    base system: openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (i586) 32-bit
    desktop: Gnome 3.10.2
    cpu: AMD C-60 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics × 2

  • Firefox always open with new tab and doesnt go to homepage, UNLESS I have it open then it opens a new browser and goes to my homepage

    Instead of opening on my homepage, firefox opens on blank page, it says new tab.
    If I open it and open a second browser instance while the first is still open, the second instance will go to my home page as it should. I have tried reinstalling firefox.

    Sorry but this didnt help.
    What happens is When I open firefox instead of going to my homepage which I set to Google.com via the options. It just opens a blank tab. Before if I opened firefox there was no tab unless I clicked on the little plus sign. It clearly states New Tab on the first thing when opened.I tried the
    :New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites#w_how-do-i-turn-the-new-tab-page-off. Did exactly as told but when I turn on firefox, same old thing. Now the weird part is if I open firefox I get what I just described, it opens with a blank new tab. But if I leave that instance open and open a 2nd browser, it opens to Google and looks fine! Very irritating . Also If I change the home page to Firefox homepage it works fine everytime. Seems they only want me going to thier page.

  • Firefox hangs when opening Tools - Options, even in Safe Mode

    I've just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.13. Prior to upgrading I removed all add ons. I went to Tools -> Options to check the settings and Firefox hung. I had to end it with Ctrl-Alt-Del. This happened several times. Then I started Firefox in Safe Mode and attempted to view Tools -> Options again. Firefox hung. It does not try to submit any crash reports (apart from the automatic Microsoft report that occurs when you end a program manually).
    I can browse websites ok, open PDFs, view Flash, etc. I just can't view my options!

    Thanks for the note about profile locations.
    I deleted mimeType.rdf in my existing profile, still have the same issue - can't view Tools -> Options for the Applications tab, or download a file. Same goes for a new profile - the same issues arise.
    Firefox never does crash, I can leave it in this hung state for hours (I left it in a 'not responding' state last night and it was still hung this morning).
    I was going to add a screen shot to this post but Firefox hung when I clicked on the 'Browse' button. Perhaps this is an issue when FF tries to interact with my directory structure? Does that get us any leads on what's wrong?
    FYI, I currently have my antivirus disabled & not running in the task bar just in case that was interfering somehow.

  • Firefox crashes several times a day even in safe mode

    Every every day I get a few crashes with Firefox. The scenario is always the same. Attached screenshot. I keep switching Shockwave Flash v11.2.202.451 and the Cisco OpenH264 codec to “never activate” but on restart from the crash they are found to have reactivated. I tried safe mode, and refreshed, with no improvement. I think it is related to video uplaying, youtube etc, but can't pin it down.
    My OS is Ubuntu 14.04, Firefox 36.0.1 for Ubuntu.

    As for it being out of date, I am sure that while there is a version 16 for Windows, the last version that works for FF on Linux is mine.
    Funnily enough i haven't had a single crash today, maybe due to todays Ubuntu update.

  • Why does Firefox keep on opening new tabs when I log in to my Facebook account? It only stops when I cancel 4 or 5 tabs already opened.

    I just opened my Facebook account today. It happened again i.e. several window tabs opened showing the same first page of my opened Facebook account. This is very annoying.

  • I can't open Firefox because it crashes at startup even in Safe Mode. How can I fix this?

    Here is the Crash ID: bp-fb854508-a42d-4a50-98a6-a30d02130306
    I updated to the latest version of Ff V19 is it?
    I am on WinXP with AVG (8.5.455) antivirus. Both are fully uptodate.
    In AVG I have disabled "Link Scanner" and "Resident Shield" in case these were interfeering with Ff.
    Google Chrome is behaving the same - crash report dialog appears immediatly on launch (and on PC start up).

    Thank you madperson for taking the time to answer my question.
    I found two Toolbars; Searchqu and ALOT, and removed them both.
    I suspect Searchqu was the culprit because I saw "datamngr" flash by as the uninstaller was working away.
    Thanks heaps, I i hope someone finds my answer useful as well.

    Firefox keeps freezing up and giving me the colorful spinning wheel especially when I'm chatting with a friend of facebook or when i'm listening to music on myspace or even have just two tabs open and it's never done it before but now it just keeps giving me the colorful spinning wheel and i have to force quit and start over.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == May 5th, 2010

    Hi If you get an error message saying your flash is blocked by firewall or needs updating or similar and you just get the spinning colour wheel try this link
    It takes you to Adobe which tells you which ver of flash player you have - you can then see if there is a later ver by clicking on the library and it automatically selects the correct version for you to download.
    Worked a treat for me! Good Luck
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Ps Don't forget to use a browser other than firefox or you will be there for days.

  • 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:

    Question
    When I update some of my addons, everytime I open firefox information about update is in new tabs, even "welcome to firefox" is always there in new tab! It's very annoying!

    Ok I found a solution that worked for me, I simply dragged the user.js and the user.js.BAK to the desktop, before that I had done the same with the prefs.js and prefs.js.BAK, but that didn't help, so it's apparently the user file that was an error with.
    It was the link from cor-el that helped me on the way http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    It's at the bottom titled User.js file locks certain preferences.
    This article can also help https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved
    It have still not made a new user.js file, but everything runs fine, hope this can help others to.
