Firefox turns on, but Frequently Crashes

Firefox crashes often. It will boot up, and allow me to browse the internet, but then crashes. More often than not I was not clicking on any link or anything when it happens.
I see that the trouble shooting information suggest I update my video drivers.<br />
Would like to know if the crash ids below give any additional information:

  • I can no longer firefox anymore due to frequent crashes

    Firefox now crashes for unknown reasons, it worked fine with new computer installed with windows8 for about 2 months then out of nowhere it started crashing with every new web search, now adobe flash has crashed so I have removed Firefox from my computer.
    I have searched your website for answers none of them address the issue at hand. I have Norton's security but it also worked fine with Firefox for two months so nothing has changed all updates are current and still Firefox no longer works.
    this is sad because it was one of the best web browsers avail.
    but not anymore

    yes i have just done just that, deleted my user profile and uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled Firefox and now it crashes the entire computer after a few web searches...it is simply not compatible with windows 8, what ever the developers did with latest version totally made Firefox unusable with this computer.
    too sad for words, thanks for all your suggestions but its NOT fixable at this level.
    I highly recommend Firefox, despite security issues, have a web page that contains earlier versions of Firefox that might work.
    until then BYE BYE Firefox.

  • My rear facing camera app is not operating. It turns on but then crashes immediately

    This is the iPhone 5s.

    The next step in user troubleshooting is a restore from backup. Connect the device to iTunes and select Restore from backup. If that does not help, then final step is restore as new. If that does not do it, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple and get the hardware checked for failure. The device is still under warranty.

  • Experiencing frequent crashes in Firefox

    Hi guys,
    I've been experiencing frequent crashes in Firefox for the past three months. I initially posted about the issue over a month ago here were I go into it in detail: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/952596#answer-414579
    I got a really helpful response from iamjayakumars, he identified that my problem was a virus that could be found in a dll file named: erijbbfs.dll.
    I followed his advice about attempting to remove it and made hidden folders and files visible, but as of yet I can't find this .dll file. Googling the virus also turns up a blank.
    I know this problem is a wider malware issue I have and isn't solely related to Firefox, but I was hoping someone here could help me out or at least point me in the direction of where I could find further help - as I said in my previous post, I've already formatted my computer and that doesn't seem to have nuked the virus, so now I'm at a bit of a loss.
    Cheers,
    Matt

    hello matt, to be honest, i don't know how he made the connection to malware - a file named "erijbbfs.dll" is referenced nowhere in the crash reports. could you post some more recent IDs, maybe we will get a clearer picture then.

  • Firefox worked before, but now, when i try to start it, i get and error "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed". I tried to reinstall it, to reboot, nothing helps.

    Hi,
    Firefox worked before, but one time my system crashed. When I rebooted, Firefox won't start anymore. All I got is a pop-up window, saying We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. Problem is it never restarts. When I press Restart Firefox button, I get the same message. I tried to reinstall Firefox, to make a new profile, rebooted the system, nothing works. What can be done ? Thank-you.

    Of course I checked firefox crashes. I searched and haven't found my problem. I used Firefox 5 when it happened, then, seeing it doesn't work no matter what I do, I upgraded to 6. The same problem. So it's not 5 or 6 related. Computer probably wrote something to hard disk when it crashed and now the file is corrupted and prevents Firefox from starting. I don't know what file (or part of the registry) is. I could erase everything, but that would mean I will lose every Firefox settings and I don't want that. Now I am using Google Chrome to write this. I miss my Firefox. :( What else can I do ?
    This is the error I get when I try to start Firefox:

  • Firefox frequently crashes on any page, maybe because of plugin-container.exe

    Firefox seems to be randomly crashing with no regard to what page I view. It can be anything from a Google results page to a page with multimedia playing. Every time, I get the same crash report, but I don't know how to fix the problem. To my knowledge, I have removed all unnecessary plug-ins and add-ons.
    Firefox has also been running unusually slow and often freezes on web pages for several minutes. I have FF set to clear all my browsing data when I close it.

    172ba950-7f4e-4f07-bb59-2f71c2100726,

    You don't have Firefox 3.0.5 installed, your UserAgent is messed up, Gecko rv:1.9.1.5 is part of Firefox 3.5.5 . The Plugin Container wasn't added to Firefox until version 3.6.4, so that's not your problem.
    Fix your UserAgent.
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
    Then restart Firefox.
    For that crash, it might be caused by one of your extensions.
    See this Bug report comment for more information.
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536455#c3
    Or you can troubleshoot it yourself. Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • Firefox 10.0 on Ubuntu crashes every time I try to access Yahoo Games (Spades, Literati, etc). Every other site I frequent is fine (gmail, youtube, etc). Please advise

    Firefox 10.0 on Ubuntu crashes every time I try to access Yahoo Games (Spades, Literati, etc). Every other site I frequent is fine (gmail, youtube, etc). Please advise
    The crash occurs when I try to enter a lobby, or sometimes even when I am just entering in the validation text (the random letters they show you and ask you to re-type)

    if someone is still having this problem , i found a solution via the great helpful people over at the ubuntu forums. read this thread:

    Reboot
    Re-install Firefox
    ...Ran MozBackup & restored profile

    The problem was an add on: Hide Caption Titlebar Plus
    Once I uninstalled that - the menu returned
    Thanks for your support anyway

  • Frequent Crashes after upgrading to ML (Macbook Pro 15" 2010)

    I have been experiencing numerous, frequent crashes ever since upgrading my computer (Macbook Pro, 15", 2010 model) to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. The crashes appear to be very random; they don't happen at startup and aren't associated with any particular application or action. For example, I once experienced a crash while opening a file in VLC. After restarting, I was able to use VLC without any problems, and instead experienced  a crash when opening a bookmark in Safari (which wasn't a problem earlier). In all cases, the screen turns black for a second and then the computer forcibly restarts.
    Below I have pasted the details of the error report that the computer wants to send to Apple. I've had nearly 20 of these since upgrading on Wednesday night, and I don't know if they are all the same. But hopefully someone can help me here; I don't know how to interpret this log in order to pinpoint what is causing the problem. This looks a lot like the "kernel panics" that others have reported, but I just don't know what that means or how to fix it.
    Also, I ran Software Update and am currently up-to-date.
    Thanks so much,
    Anthony

  • Frequent Crashes since updating to Yosemite.

    My Macbook Pro has been frequently crashing since upgrading to Yosemite (10.1). Nothing in particular seems to crash it and I'm not running any intensive programs. I'm usually just running a combination of Pages, Word, Preview, Mail, and Safari. I run an external monitor in addition to the laptop display and often use multiple desktops so I can have easy access to PDFs. The machine is older, but I wasn't having these problems under Mavericks. I only upgraded because I made the mistake of upgrading my iPad to iOS8 and enabling iCloud Drive. This prevented my Pages documents from syncing and upgrading to Yosemite seemed to be the only solution. I swapped out the hard drive for a SSD two years ago, which really sped things up. Even now, it runs quickly, as long as it doesn't crash or get stuck, which it has also been doing more frequently. I still have plenty of disk space left (50GB+), but I have noticed that the OS is using more memory. 
    Is there something I can do, or is it just time for an upgrade?
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Nathaniel

    Thanks Linc.
    It hasn't frequently crashed insofar as it just "turns off," but if often freezes to the point where I need to force a shutdown. The most recent true crash was last Sunday. I've pasted the report below. But, there are several reports that end in .crash that I think refer to the forced shutdowns.

  • Firefox 2.0.0.9 crashes

    Hi, I'm encountering frequent Firefox crashes. This is what I get:
    [dante4d@arch ~]$ firefox
    (gecko:11896): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_destroy: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
    The program 'gecko' received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was 'BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)'.
    (Details: serial 35057668 error_code 14 request_code 55 minor_code 0)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
    This happens mostly when I view very dynamic pages (like some chat windows that refresh often) and open lots of popup windows. I'm using kgtk-wrapper. Firefox seems very memory unconservative too.
    Anyone suggestions? I don't want to relaunch ff every 5 minutes although session restore works nearly fine.
    Using different browser is not a solution as I like my extensions. What about ff 3.0?
    Some more output:

    My ff crashes often after change in window focus. I press Alt+Tab and it dies... I'm not using gtk-qt-engine. Just installed QtCurve for GTK. I'll try with gtk-qt-engine.

  • Windows 7 taskbar thumbnails seem flakey for Firefox. They are frequently all blank, and show a lot of leftover tabs.

    I'm running Firefox 3.64 on Windows 7. When I hover my mouse over the FF icon in the taskbar, it shows a bunch of thumbnails that are blank except for a "waiting" icon (I use the circle rather than the hourglass.) There are frequently a lot more thumbnails than I have open tabs, so I assume some of them are leftovers. I seem to have to shut down FF from the Task Manager to get rid of the extras.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == I started using Win7 I guess

    (1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
    You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
    If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
    (2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
    * The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
    * The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
    Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.

  • Frequent crashes - using 900,00k + memory, many tabs open - is memory usage an issue?

    I am having frequent crashing of firefox, several times a day.
    I do have many tabs open, 100+, and memory usage is around 900,000 and up.
    I am wondering if the memory usage is causing the crashing, or something else I can fix?
    My task manager says I am using 67% of available memory.

    These crash reports can be hard to interpret, but at least the six from 9/16 seem to be "out of memory" (OOM) errors. Assuming that is the case, the question is what might be done about that.
    This support article has a range of suggestions, including not having more than 100 tabs open and possibly useful add-ons. [[Firefox uses too much memory (RAM) - How to fix]]. In a bug report, I also saw an extension that displays the usage on the add-on bar, which might help in keeping an eye on it.
    I noticed you have several dom.ipc.plugins.* preferences set to False, which may force some plugins to run in firefox.exe rather than plugin-container.exe. The design of the process isolation feature is that plugin crashes will take down plugin-container.exe rather than firefox.exe. It may also be that overriding process isolation is ballooning the memory usage by firefox.exe rather than more evenly distributing it between the two processes. You may want to restore those settings to their defaults and see whether that helps.
    Finally, to reduce the size of your sessionrestore.js file you could omit personal data (e.g., cookies, form data), but this will make it a bit harder after a crash to get back to where you were.

Maybe you are looking for
