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 old Apple Id can no longer be accessed due to my original e-mail being locked out. How can I switch Apple ID's without access to the one my phone continues to use?

My old hotmail account which has my old Apple ID (which is still connected to my phone) has been locked out. I have forgot the password to my original Apple ID and a recovery cannot be sent to my old account due to me not being locked out (believe someone has hacked it). I have set up a new Apple ID with a seperate e mail adress, however I cannot use the App Store because of my phone only recognizing the original e-mail I can no longer acess. Please help.

Contact the Apple account security team for your country and ask for assistance resetting the password: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

After opening a certain website, I can't close firefox anymore

I opened a website in google and I got a tiny webpage saying: This page on http://protectremovevirusxpnow.com says: Windows Security has found critical process activity on your system and will perform fast scan of system files. The only button you can press is OK. I have no windows running on my MAC. Also the tabs are gone, except the tab Firefox. But you can't close firefox. The only thing I can do is to shutdown the whole computer by the powerbutton. What can I do?
Thanks,

Hi sierui,
I have the same problem. Don't know what to do though so not entirely helpful there! But I found the same issue on this thread - https://support.mozilla.com/is/questions/811477 - although none of the answers are particularly useful for mac users, there might be a slight chance that someone will resolve the problem in the near future.
Also, after rebooting my mac, it seems the pop up window with the message 'Windows Security has found ........' didn't pop again.

Can no longer open up report file - Crystal Crashes

I have a crystal report that I can not longer get to open. I'm on windows 7 32-bit, and I've attempted to open it in both 2008 and 2011.
The report is comprised mainly of sub-reports. Each sub-report in its own report header section. I'm pretty sure the issue is related to a fairly large sub-report that I added that contains pretty sizable images. The image sub-report is around 24MB and the entire report is around 25MB.
Everything was fine up until I added the image sub-report. Now I cannot even get the crystal file to open.
2008 version: 12.4.0.966
2011 (trial) version: 14.0.2.364RTM
I was finally able to open the report after trying many times and so I deleted the image sub-report and tried to save it again but it crashed...

Adding to DEP did not resolve the issue... I can still manage to open it once in a while... I don't know how I exactly get it to open though... I've been switching the default program from 2008 and 2011 and tried opening it multiple times, or the second it crashes I attempt again, and sometimes doing any of these gets it to open but I can never re-save it again. Something in the report is causing it to crash. I think it may now be the "Consents" sub-report.

Can't open Firefox 8.0. It crashes immediately.

I couldn't open Firefox. It would instantly crash - a window would flash and then I would see the Mozilla Crash Reporter . I restarted my computer. It continued to instantly crash.
I went online and downloaded the most recent version of Firefox. Just as it finished installing a window popped up with some kind of an error, I closed out of it and did not see the Mozilla Crash Reporter.
I un-installed Firefox. Went back to the website and downloaded and installed the latest version of Firefox again. This time it installed without problem, but still crashed instantly when I clicked to open it.
I couldn't test Firefox in safe mode because I couldn't access the top of the Firefox window, seeing how no window came up. Then I saw that you can start Firefox in safe mode by pressing shift and did that. The Firefox Safe Mode window popped up and I checked all the options ("Disable all add-ons", "Reset toolbars and controls", etc.) and clicked "Make Changes and Restart". The window closed and the Mozilla Crash Reporter popped up. I started Firefox in safe mode again and clicked "Continue in Safe Mode". Finally, the Firefox window came up!
Now if I could just get it to work outside of safe mode...

How can I prevent Firefox from closing when it crashes?

So, I'm using a Windows 8 computer, & when it crashes, it closes altogether & it's really annoying having to reload my session, but when I was using a Windows 7 computer, Firefox hardly ever closed altogether when it crashed- all it did was freeze. Is there some way to only have it freeze instead of closing altogether? I hope you understand what I'm saying. Thanks.

If only, if only! :)
No, there isn't a way you can choose what Firefox does when it crashes. It crashes for a reason. But we can see what's causing those crashes.
Can you give me your crash reports?
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and paste them into your response here.
Your System Details looks very light/empty. Can you start by giving us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems. This is an essential step in troubleshooting. 
*Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the sub-menu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

I dont know what could be the problem something happend to my chrome too for no reason where i cant watch yt vids anymore and here were firefox doesnt want to open anymore and gives me a error evreytime time i try to open it

This is a Windows error when a file is damaged, however please consider seeing a computer technician if you are seeing this in multiple programs.
For Firefox, I can recommend a clean reinstall:
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Can no longer recommend Fascinate due to non-support of issues - class action time?

I loved my Fascinate when I got it, but the failure of Verizon to promptly resolve KNOWN software issues with known-to-Verizon solutions constitutes something dangerously close to fraud. Like others, I was promised a prompt upgrade to Froyo by a Verizon rep when I bought the phone. Like others. my GPS performance is terrible, with frequent delays of 10 minutes to infinity to achieve a location lock. Like others, I let my 30 day return expire because I was promised a software fix was coming out Real Soon Now, so now I am screwed.
The issue is NOT the delayed Froyo update,the issue is that the phone does not function as promised by Verizon when sold. Knowing sale of a defective product that does not meet its advertised features is fraudulent under the commercial code in any state of the union.
Therefore I am doing some of the few things I can do under the circumstances:
First of all, new buyers are warned that the phone DOES NOT WORK as advertised in many cases due to software issues with GPS, email push, and other features. If you buy it, don't expect it to work. If you are promised otherwise by a Verizon store or rep, be warned that the promises are empty. Be warned that the Verizon implementation of Bing en lieu of Google search and other disruptions of the base Google services makes the phone almost unusable compared to a true Android environment such as that on certain other Android phones and providers. Bing is terrible. VZNavigator is a rip off (and terrible). If you are a lawyer interested in a class action against Verizon related to thi sphone be aware that you should have plenty of interested parties. Personally I would like my service fees waved for the period from September when I bought the phone through whenever-they-actually-make-it-work with debugged software. It is clear that engineering KNOWS how to make the GPS work even without a full Froyo update - they just haven't released a patch.
I wish I could love this phone - but I can't recommend it any more to any one for any reason until Samsung/Verizon fix the software and de-Bing and de-bloat an otherwise excellent piece of hardware. This is EXACTLY what Apple got right, and that Verizon has wrong. A pox on them and their bloatware and BIng and broken search functions. It's like a bad dream. Swapping the hardware out for another Fasicinate won't fix it. I'm stuck.

Do I actually expect to see a suit? No, not really. But, message reads on the first page of the Fascinate forum suggest that as of now at least 4000 potential Fascinate owners may have received enough reasons to consider either a different phone or a different carrier. Verizon execs might have a look over the fence at IPhone land, where there is a mob wielding torches and pitch forks that loves their iPhones (but hates ATT for the poor service experience). Provide even average service and you build brand loyalty that overcomes almost any foul up. Give your customers good reasons to hate you, and they surely will.
Today I drove a 30 mile round trip with a fresh A-GPS almanac and never got GPS located closer than 1100 yards. If it ever DOES synch, it will be good to 10 ft. and stay locked until I go indoors. If. The Bluetooth refused to connect (again). Works great WHEN it actually occasionally works though. The hardware can do it. The software is a bad joke. Is is Samsung's fault? Maybe. Could Verizon provide a timely fix by internal or Samsung resources? Definitely. Samsung has fixed these issues for other markets long ago. The shame is that it takes what could be a great experience and sours it all. It's not about Froyo, it's about having basic features that work. While some of thse phones work perfectly, some combination of hardware and software issues means that too many customers did not receive what the paid for, and they have good reason to be angry with Verizon for the poor experience and callous treatment.

[SOLVED] Can't build Firefox anymore, wants old libjpeg?

I first noticed this problem with my firefox-pgo package, but it appears the problem is specific to my system, and occurs even when I build [extra] firefox.
My builds, even though I have libjpeg 8 and don't have the 'libjpeg7' package, always result in a Firefox that wants version 7 of libjpeg, and fails because it can't find it (ldd confirms).
The interesting part is that any other package I build is fine with libjpeg 8 (ldd confirms with a built imlib2).
Any help would, obviously, be much appreciated.
EDIT: Got it fixed, somehow... not sure how.
Uninstalled old Firefox first, re-installed a lot of packages, rebuilt a lot of packages, and scoured my drive of unpackaged files.

Deleted some games, something happened and can't get firefox anymore, can get IE. Keep getting crash reporter but get no email or anything in response. Please help. I want FF, not IE

I can open FF but all I get is a blank screen with FF logo on top left, and the minimixe-maximize, exit buttons on top left. Nothing else and it won't open. I done the crash reporter about 10 times and get no response at all, I don't think that it is getting to you. FF 4.0 Beta 12 is what I was using however, I can't get anything FF. I've tried doing it through the administrator, can't do it. I've uninstalled and re-installed and nothing happens. This has gone on for about 6 weeks and I've tried everything and nothing happens. The problem is so bad that I thought if I was stuck with IE, I would update to their current program and won't even do that. Help.

Can't access firefox anymore because "it does not have a program associated with it"

Suddenly today I was unable to launch firefox as normal. Told that "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" And that I should create an association in the Folder Option control panel. I have not been able to work out how to do this, and wonder where the program (that has obviously been there for the past few years) has disappeared to?? I am still using Windows XP....... could it be something to do with that?

There are some malware infections that make it hard to run programs (EXE) files. Hopefully you do not have one of those.
Could you check whether it is a problem with your shortcut by starting Firefox a different way:
Start menu > Run, type or paste the following and then press the Enter key or click Go:
firefox.exe

I can no longer launch Premiere Pro. It crashes every time before opening.

This issue has been coming on for a couple months. Every once in a while, when I launched Permiere Pro, it would crash. I would restart the computer and get it to open.
Now, I cannot get PP open at all. When I launch the program, I see the splash screen...then a dialog that says it could not be opened.
I can't use the program at all at this point.

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. 
Would like to know if the crash ids below give any additional information:

I can't open Firefox no more, I try clicking on the icon but it doesn't even load anymore.

After some time I realized I can not open Firefox anymore.
I have always used Firefox as my default browser and I really like their features, it's the best browser for me, but for 2 weeks I haven't had the possibility to open it.
I have tried many ways, such as try to open new tab, or try to open new windows, or try to open new private session but none worked. It's impossible to load Firefox. I have been searching on different sites to finally resolve my problem but it didn't help me at all.
I also reinstalled it many times but the same problem.
Thanks in advance and any help will be welcomed.

sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. This may not be a problem with the fire fox instead this may be a problem with your computer.
Plz check your computer for virus mainly "Trojan". download an antivirus and run a full scan and also be updated to latest fire fox version.

I can no longer firefox anymore due to frequent crashes
