I am a PC user, and Fire fox crashes many times, for no apparent reason.

I have all the requirements- XP, 1GB Ram, and 2GB of free hard disk space, yet Firefox crashes many times. And each time I have to download it again, is becoming a menace.

If you are running Firefox 3.0.1, you are using an extremely outdated version of Firefox that does have many known crashes.
If you go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download Firefox 13. Then, use the Firefox Reset feature, does that help you crashes? [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
Also, try reading [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]

    Had to start Firefox in safe mode cause it kept crashing after i deleted the file. Now Fire fox Crashes every time I open it and I have to put it in safe mode just to use it, also it's not syncing with my iPad.

    If you use Norton software, try disabling your Norton extensions. As of last week, there were severe compatibility issues with Firefox 24.

    When using Safari, my iPad 1 will end Safari and return to the home screen for no apparent reason, any ideas as to cause and solution?

    See if the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad might also help.

  • Firefox opens and closes many times for no aparrent reason

    when I am on firefox, for no apparent reason and not always, the browser will open,close,open,close,open,close many times until it decides to stay open. this happens when I am just opening the browser and have on home page igoogle.

    For me, often when I minimize FF, it pops up and minimizes about 20 times until it finally stays minimizes. This has been happening for several days now.

  • I was typing a post on my blog and Fire Fox crashed. I lost my data. How can I get it back?

    Fire Fox has been crashing the last few days. Tonight, I was typing an article post for my blog and it crashed again. I was just finishing the article (900 words). The open sites usually come back up and they all did except the blog post site. I lost all my article post. I worked 3.75 hours on this. How can I get it back?

    Did you try:
    History menu > Restore Previous Session
    I'm not sure that's still available if you've been browsing around again for a while.
    ''Actually, you used session restore, so that's the same thing.''
    I'm not sure what blog platform you use, but I've noticed that WordPress auto-saves for me at regular intervals. If yours doesn't do that, you should definitely see about getting it set up.

  • I was having trouble with flash causing hangs but i have had firefox 5 for 5 minutes or less and it has already hung three times for no apparent reason - this is not an improvement - google chrome beckons

    Windows 7, pretty new machine, regular checkes with AVG (daily) and malwarebytes (every 3 days), put firefox 5 on today - looked at the websites of three british newspapers, the bbc, facebook, three hangs in 5 minutes, restarted each time

    please try to uninstall the adobe flash plugin from the windows control panel. afterwards manually delete any leftover files in ''C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash'' and download & install the plugin again (uncheck the option to install the bundled security software): www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

  • Extremely slow Safari and Fire Fox

    Recently - around a week or so ago, my safari and fire fox on my macbook air became excessively slow. I have two macbook airs in my household and one functions perfectly while the other takes a very long time to load any pages, even simple sites such as google. So it is not a problem of my router or my ISP. The interesting thing is that this problem does not affect MSN and downloading whatsoever.
    So I was wondering whether there are others out there who have the same problem and/or a solution to this problem. I've thought of wiping my macbook air, but realized i didn't know how to do that on a mac (as i'm traditionally a pc user). So i'm desparately in need of a solution

    See my post here:

    Interestingly, I had not upgraded to 10.5.5 when my internet connection started slowing down!

  • Can't get a straight forward answer re pogo and fire fox blockers not the problem

    Pogo and Fire fox have a difference of opinion. the games worked fine for years on Firefox, but all of a sudden stopped. Did something with Java - pogo- Firefox occur. I do not like using Internet explorer on there it worked for awhile.

    There has been a change in the Java security settings, see:

    "What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?":<br>http://www.java.com/en/download/help/appsecuritydialogs.xml
    If you visit a website regularly then a possible workaround is to add the URL to the Java Exceptions Site List, see:

  • I was asked to up grade my Firefox, when I did this the system crashed and I have lost use of my book marks and fire fox, I have not been able to fix it.

    Two days ago I logged on to Firefox. I recieved a message that told me that I was using an out dated version. I had to up grade . I followed the instruction and when finished fire fox crashed. I am unable to delete firefox, reload it, or use it. I am forced to use Internet Explorer to use my computer. I have lost my book marked sites, and I am at a loss as how to retrieve what I have lost. I have tried to follow the instructions to fix the problem but I have not been able to fix the problem. I sent the crash information but recieved no responce.

    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

    Fire fox crashes and freezes if i use it too much (kind of a good thing). For example if i use stumble fire fox will start to slow down then freeze completely. I am using windows XP pro and a pretty decent computer. All software is up to date and i do no have a virus. I have even tried to disable my add-ons and plug-ins but it did not make a difference. Does anyone have a solution or should i just switch to chrome?

    Please provide a crash id -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report
    Do the issues still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

  • Larger Tabs in Safari and Fire Fox

    I just purchased a new flat screen LCD monitor for my Mac Mini. My new monitor is 24" compared to my old 20" Dell monitor.
    I know how to make the font size larger/smaller within a web page (control + or -) but I can't figure out how to make the tab area at the top of the screen larger on both Safari and Fire Fox. How can I make the tab size larger so I can actually see them?
    Thanks!

    Don't return it until you try the resolution change. System Preferences>Hardware/Displays. It will not necessarily look blurry (I didn't have to decrease the rez on my display to such a degree). Play with it a little before you decide it's not working.
    I also have lamented the lack of a way to increase the size of the system font. I looked in Universal Access system prefs, but zoom is all that's available there. That was when I just gave up and decreased the resolution on my display. It's still pretty clear to me from about 3 yards away, but my display is much larger than yours. That's why I haven't given any exact advice. You'll just have to tinker around. Make a note of what happens at each resolution and just go through them.
    You may have to move your icons around when you figure out which one reads the best. I think you'd have to decrease the rez to a large degree on a very high rez device to really detect a noticeable blur. I'm just talking about tweeking it a bit. Don't start from the lowest and go up, start from your native display rez and go down. This worked for me. I hope it works for you.

  • Will the new Fire Fox run so well as the actua in my pc? I have an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40 GHz 736 MB RAM and Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 2 and Fire Fox 3.6.24 or it will take my pc more ressources than currently?

    Pay attention to what rkaufmann87 is saying, because I agree.
    Chrome is very resource intensive.
    It is possible you are running other memory intensive apps.
    You have a lot of 3rd party additions loaded at boot time.  Do you really need all of them?  Even after you get rid of MacCleaner (as suggested by rkaufmann87).
    Do you really need the seagate and WD drive software?  The Mac is fairly good at accessing disks without 3rd party intervention.
    Any of the 3rd party additions listed by EtreCheck that you do not need, you should consider uninstalling.
    That fact that you have
        171.19 GB    Page-ins
    in just about 4 days, says you have about 0.5megabytes per second.  That is a huge load on your disk drive.
    Either cut back on the RAM intensive apps, or get more RAM.  At least 8GB, but if your Mac supports it, 16GB.  Crucial.com and MacSales.com (OWC) are well respected by the long term forum contributes.
