Google crashes FF4 every time, constant other crashes too! HELP!

Every time I use Google, which is ALOT, FF4 crashes when the instant search begins. It is to the point now that I just can not use FF to do web searches. I have to open a separate Chrome window, but then links I find open in Chrome, not FF. This happens on multiple other pages also. This new version is almost completely non-functional for me since I do so much web work. None of my add-ons are incompatible (incompatible ones are not even installed).
I checked the crash reports, and it shows none submitted, even though in the midst of me typing this, I have had to retype it twice do to FF crashing while I tried to check the crash reports. I also made sure the option to submit crash reports is enabled.
This is really getting on my nerves. I have been using and recommending FF for so many years, I can't believe this new, released version is not even functional.

WAIT! So it blinks orange continuously? In that
case it's charging. All you need to do is "safely
remove" (eg UNmount) the iPod in the system tray and
the light should show a continuous orange and turn
green when it's fully charged. While blinking (being
used as a flash drive), it'll never show you the
battery status UNLESS you disconnect it...
okay.
right now the shuffle is charged fully.
when i dock it on the thinkpad it starts blinking in "disk mode". i then tell it to disconnect, using "safely remove hardware". the light just goes out. no battery life indication. when i pull the shuffle off the dock the light blinks green once, which i guess tells me the battery is charged.
once the shuffle is disconnected this way, if i put the shuffle back in the dock it does not show up. i suppose this is because i disconnected the dock and not the shuffle. all i have to do is unplug the usb cord and plug it back in.
i did let it sit there 24 hours in "disk mode" without any charging being done, so maybe it has to be "disconnected" to charge?
as a test i'll let the shuffle play all night and try to charge it this way tomorrow.

    Can you post a copy of the crash report?
    Go to your Applications Folder and open your Utilities Folder. Open the application Console.
    In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
    Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
    Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.
    Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.

    If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

    Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

    Its likely to be caused by Ozone5.. many people have reported that plugin is currently quite unstable and are awaiting updates from izotope to fix the problem... No ETA has been given by izotope for the fix however...
    Also several of your plugins are out of date (Zebra2, Clariphonic, Ozone itself.. to name but a few,)
    Finally, you are running an older version of Logic Pro X (10.0.3)...and  I would normally suggest you update to the latest version  but... if you have a USB2 audio interface do not update to 10.0.5 at this time.... unless you know it will work correctly with the new version of LPX.

  • Firefox crashes EVERY TIME i open it. Help please!!!

    All of a sudden, my firefox crashed on me, and every time I try to re-open it, it keeps on crashing.
    I tried everything on here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes%20when%20you%20open%20it#w_not-running-the-latest-version-of-firefox
    It doesn't load on safe mode.
    I don't know what to do. Please help...

    Alice... I was not seeking an answer, as this was the solution that was causing mine to crash after updating firefox and flash. After much frustration, this solved it for me. I posted in all the forums where others were having a crash, as it may be the same problem and they seem to be related to what I was having. It was posted in the hopes it would solve their problem. All they can do is try it..... Then the group at Mozilla.org can work out why Firefox with the latest flash needs admin rights or not. I also have zone alarm set pretty high on security... so it could be that it does need to be run as admin... it is worth a try...

    Hello,
    I have the same problem.  I've cleared history, caches and cookies. I've cleared the entire ipad and reloaded it as a new ipad. I've closed all the open app's.  Apple techs say it's a software issue, and nothing helps.
    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I have the original ipad 64 g.  It has iso 5.1 I think.

  • IPhoto 11 crashes every time it opens. Please help

    Every time I open iPhoto I get a warning prompting me to repair my library. When the repair is complete iPhoto crashes. I cannot use it at all. Please Help.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I make firefox to go to a specfic web page (ie google home page) every time I open a new tab?

    Every time I open a new tab, I want firefox to go to Google's home page http://www.google.com/. Right now when I open a new tab, the tab is blank.

  • How do I stop Firefox automatically opening and forcing me onto a second tab with a Google sign-in every time I open Firefox?

    Every time I open Firefox to search for something - it automatically opens a second tab and forces me to that tab. On the second tab is the Google account login. I now avoid using Firefox if I can because I cannot shut this off.

    Does this also happen in Safe Mode? You can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
    Also, on the General tab in Firefox preferences, what are "When Firefox starts" and "Home Page" set to?

  • Why does google-analytics load every time I go to my email program or facebook?

    Lately, every time I check my email program the status bar at the bottom of my screen connects to google-analytics and slows everything down quite a lot. The same happens on loading Facebook things like accepting gifts on Farmville. It's so slow, it's hardly worth the effort. My daugher uses Foxfire and she doesn't have this problem at all. I recently upgraded Foxfire to the lastest version and wonder if that's the problem and how I can fix it or go back to the version I had before.
    Thanks,

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • On start up I want to search using Google UK automatically every time

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    Firefox uses Google as it's search engine. I have upgraded to Firefox 5 and the UK search button is missing. As I live in the UK, I want to use Google.co.uk automatically on start up every time what do I do?

    You can install this add-on which will set your default search to Google UK in the Firefox search bar. You should also see the option to search Google UK when you go to google.com

  • Hotmail: my password is listed in the tools box, but is not entered when logging on so I have to type it in every time. all other passwords are automatically entered. why not hotmail?

    Windows Live Hotmail: every time I log on to this site for my emails, I have to manually type in my password, instead of Firefox automatically doing it.The tools box for saved passwords shows the right password in the list of saved passwords, so why is this particular password not entered automatically? All other saved passwords are entered automatically in the appropriate website logins. Puzzling!

    Are you referring to the SAME computer/login?
    If not, he likely has auto-complete (or similar) enabled and you probably do not.

  • Won't remember my auto log in password for SKY...have to manually insert password every time. all other sites are OK..

    whenever I use SKY for my email [ many time a day] - ([email protected]) Firefox won't remember my password (it's in settings - show passwords - so I know its there..) So every time I have to enter it manually - it's becoming a bit of a pain....
    All other sites I access using passwords (YouTube / eBay ect) ALL auito log in properly - I've tried deleting from the saved password list and adding again but it still won't auto log in..what's up...???

    Try this if you met the same problem
    Syndrome:
    The wireless network name appeared on the System Preference>Network>Airport>Advanced>Preferred Networks List, but every time when start computer or wake up, a popup window said "None preferred network is available" and ask me to select a new net work, if I select the same network, the password is there. The system keychain can remember the password but System preference cannot remember the Preferred/Joined wireless network.
    Reason:
    Fix to this problem that strangely centred on the specific location of the “System Preferences.app”, if other than the standard location of the root of the “Applications” folder.
    If you have moved the System Preferences application (not alias, actual app) to any other location for any reason, your newly joined preferred network will NOT be properly remembered and will NEVER be properly rejoined.
    Solution:
    1) Move “System Preferences.app” back to “Applications\”.
    2) Delete all instances of “Preferred Networks” in “Network Preferences”.
    3) Delete all “Airport network password” instances in “Keychain Access”.
    4) Restart your Mac.
    5) Add/Join applicable preferred network using the Airport pulldown menu or in Network Preferences (as if for the first time). Use “Advanced” in “Network Preferences” to confirm the existence of your preferred network and the correct settings. Use “Keychain Access” to confirm the existence of the applicable “Airport network password” instance and the correct settings.
    6) Restart your Mac. The OS should now find your preferred network and join it on its own. Good Luck!
    NOTE: Simply moving back System Preferences will NOT suffice. Deleting and re-adding/joining the preferred network is a must after the app has been moved.
