Firefox not starting after crash, GLib-CRITICAL error

This happened to me more than once. Firefox crashes and then it will not start again. When started from the terminal I get the following error message (even when just checking the version or running in safe mode):
~$ firefox -v
(process:13206): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
Mozilla Firefox 37.0.1
The problem is fixed when I log out and log in from my account. Maybe there is another option to reset firefox without logging out?
I already searched for the problem and there are some bug reports:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672671 (marked as resolved, apparently because they are about different bugs with the same error message)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1075079 (no useful information here)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833117 (this is just about the warning but not about the crash?)
PS: I also get this warning when firefox starts normally. So probably the warning is unrelated to the crash?

Do you see any crash reports in the Crash Reports folder?
*~/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports
You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by adding the -safe-mode switch to the Firefox command line in a terminal window.

Are you using the Firefox version from the Mozilla server or a special version from the Ubuntu repositories?
Try the version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.1) in all languages and all operating systems here:

  • SAP not starting after crash: Terminateing With error code 12

    Hi,
    After system crash SAP is not starting normally. When running startsap under SIDadm puts out: /usr/sap/TST/SYS/exe/run/startdb: Terminateing With error code 12
    startdb.log shows that:
    /oracle/TST/102_64/bin/sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shares object file: No such file or directory
    I have checked - file and directory are present.
    However - when manually starting DB under oraSID and then logging in as SIDadm and starting SAP - everything starts normally.
    (Allthough SID is has been changed before - system also worked normally after SID change) I have checked userrights and groups , also profile - everything seems to be normal. Any ideas?

  • Firefox not starting after update to 3.6.11 from 3.6.10 on vista platform. XUL error report. Uninstall including removing mozilla items in regedit or system restore does not resolve issue. XUL error still reappears after reinstall ? in English

    Problem exists on my HP C0mpaq 6720s , Vista operating system.
    System restore, restored to version 3.6.3 instead of 3.6.10 . This did not start either. Previously, I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to remove all Mozilla items, checked regedit and removed all Mozilla folders, then reinstalled 3.6.11 from your website. Mozilla would not start and XUL error stated 1.9.2.10 followed by min 1.9.2.11 and max 1.9.2.11 . This was the same error report that appeared after the automatic update.
    So I am at a loss and without Mozilla .

    I have successfully resolved this issue on my PC by allowing updater.exe through the firewall. This updater.exe is located in the folder where your Mozilla Firefox was installed. The default folder is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updater.exe"
    Happy Browsing.....

  • Firefox not starting after updating from v24 to v32 on centos 6.5

    I have updated my firefox from version 24 to version 32 recently released for Centos 6.5 in the official packs, but after updating now firefox is not at all starting.
    Even the first screen where it checks for add-ons dependency is also not coming up, what I can see is just firefox starts and crashes within seconds without showing any screen.

    I have successfully resolved this issue on my PC by allowing updater.exe through the firewall. This updater.exe is located in the folder where your Mozilla Firefox was installed. The default folder is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updater.exe"

  • Oracle application server 10.1.3 not starting after crash

    Hi, I've been struggling with starting up application server 10.1.3 on Windows XP Professional SP2 following a system crash (power outage). When we restarted the machine we noted that the database wasn't coming up because our redo logs were full. We backed up the database with RMAN (freeing the logs) and the database started without a problem.
    We then tried to log into application server control from the website but were faced with a connection error. It is definitely the correct page as it was bookmarked on the server. I cannot start application server from the command line using opmnctl. Here is the output:

    Well, I seem to have solved this through some trial and error. But still don't know exactly why this worked.
    This is what I did - I was connecting to the DSL connection using a DSL entry in Network Connections. I deleted all networking connections entries and instead used pppoeconf to setup the DSL connection. Thats all. Now Firefox is accessing all those sites which were getting stuck... I can only guess that the networking parameters must have been causing this, and they worked when I set the DSL connection using pppoeconf. Nothing wrong with FF setting I suppose.

  • Macbook will not start after sharing and permissions error

    I was cleaning around my files and went into the info of my Mac.
    I clicked get info on the desktop icon and accidently messed up the sharing and permissions settings.
    My computer would not let me into my Mac icon on my desktop, saying I didn't have certain permissions.
    I tried restarting and now my Macbook will not startup. It turns on and loads, but never goes past that.

  • Firefox will not start after I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04.

    I was using Firefox without issue on Ubuntu 8.04. I then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. Firefox would not start after upgrade. Message said it was already running!
    I checked the System Monitor and saw it was "sleeping". I ended process. Firefox then would start, however..... I always have to go into System Monitor before I start Firefox to stop it from running (sleeping) even if I already just quit the program or after a fresh reboot.
    I do not use a firewall or virus program.
    My router has some sort of firewall hardware, and it is the same router I used with 8.04 with no problem.
    What is going on? Why is the program sleeping when I try to start it. Why do I always get the message that it is already running (and I have to shut it down) before I can start it.
    It is either a Ubuntu problem or a Firefox problem.
    Sonny.

    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 will not start, after reboot.

    For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Around the time 3.5 was released

    Hello Tom.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why will Firefox not start on my windows laptop but it says it is open in background

    since last update, firefox will not start even after repeated attempts. It is apparently open as i cannot delete it from the laptop untill I restart laptop.
    I am running Windows 7 and i run Thunderbird successfully on my machine. I am forced to use IE to get onto the internet.

    Does Firefox not start in Safe Mode?
    * Click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
    * In the search box, type firefox.exe -safe-mode and press Enter.
    * If the little Firefox Safe Mode window pops up, click the Start in Safe Mode button.
    * For more details, see [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If Firefox doesn't start in Safe Mode, does the profile manager start? If yes, create a new profile and try starting Firefox in that profile.

  • ITunes 10.1.2 not starting after update

    iTunes will not start after being updated to 10.1.2. Also experienced internet explorer being extremely slow. Tried to repair the installation, but same result. Uninstalled iTunes, restarted the computer, and internet explorer started working again. Reinstalled iTunes from Apple web page. Same result as after update. Everything worked fine before update, no errors during installation.

    I have just had exactly yhe same problem.
    Try this!
    Go to the itunes support page and uninstall / reinstall Itunes + quicktime exactly to the troubleshooting instructions.
    It takes some time and patience but it works on my Vista operating system. Windows 7 should also work as the instructions refer to both systems.

    I have a PC that is not starting after hibernation. There are different errors appearing after my tries to repair the boot. I have tried to find a document online describing the boot process but I can't find any. I know how it worked in the old days with boot.ini
    and such but this new one is hard to figure out without a desciption.
    First I tried to use the automatic repair process but that didn't work. I have also tried bootrec, bootedit, and bcdboot.
    I then bought the Easy Recovery Essentials from NeoSmart Technologies but that didn't help to fix the issue, PC still boots to error 1. below. I tried the following process that they suggested:
    I have followed the instructions on this link http://j.mp/BcdRepair that they suggested but it didn't help. Instead of the two errors I have come across (PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED and error code 0xc000000f on file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD via F8, both with
    white text on blue background), I got to a black page with grayish text telling me the following:
    Windows Boot Manager
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc [...]
    2. Choose your language [...]
    3. Click "Repair your computer."
    File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
    It looks like one boot entry gets added to the boot menu every time the PC runs the automatic repair process. In the boot menu I now have more than ten occurrences of Windows Boot Manager.
    Errors:
    1. Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart [...] you can search online later for this error: PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
    2. Manual boot to one of the Windows Boot Manager entries that appears via F8 gives me the error code 0xc000000f on file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD.
    I even tried to copy the BCD from an exactly identical PC but then the path to the BCD disappeared and I'm not sure what drive letter to enter in bcdedit because C: is not C: but X: when booted into Advanced resque mode.
    I could just reinstall Windows 8.1 but it feels frustrating, all the files are there. I just need to fix the boot.
    Sorry if this post is a bit of messed up, that's about how I feel right now... :)
    Does anyone have any suggestions and/or can point me in the direction of a nice document describing how the boot process works, where the BCD is located (I have several on the PC) I would be very happy.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to your description, in my opinion, it seems like not bcd file problem. It's PC itself problem, maybe a hardware problem, also can be system componments corrupt.
    Can this PC startup successfully if you choose reboot or shutdown PC? Or this problem just occures after resume system from hibernate?
    For Windows boot process knowledge, you can refer to the contents of the link below for more details:

    For your problem, in my opinion, it would be better to use System installation to fix this system file for test.
