I keep getting "Firefox.exe has encountered a problem and will have to close" messages when I'm on websites. How can I stop this happening?

Whenthis message comes up you are taken out of the website and, if you've been, say arranging a booking, all the information you've put in disappears. What can I do?

  • After updating Firefox it will no longer open and i get the message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" end of story.

    Firefox was working well. One day I logged on to use Firefox and was prompted to update my version which I did. After or during the update the following message was given on the screen "firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close". It closed and now every time I click on the firefox icon I get the same message from Microsoft. That is all the information I get. Each time I go to open Firefox I get the same message. There is an error message attached to the Microsoft dialog box, but I don't understand what it means.
    I have sent it to Microsoft but no reply.

    Make sure that you aren't running Firefox in some compatibility mode (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29 Rosetta]).

  • Starting Firefox I get the "Send Error Report" popup window. It states "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    This just started today. Everything seems fine. I just push the popup off to the side and continue to use the browser. If I were to click on the, "Send Error Report" or the "Don't Send" buttons then Firefox just closes!
    Strangest thing yet, trying to figure it out!
    Oh, I tried the reboot without add-ons! Even did the reinstall, still the same???

    Just got back online, still working on things, BUT ???
    I went back and dumped Norton's which I get for free from Comcast. I downloaded the AVG scanner. Went through all the bells & whistles and things seem ok ???? But I haven't done the reboot yet, so will do that soon. But I wanted to drop a line here and let you all know what is happening.
    And Thanks Fred, the funny thing was it did seem to have something to do with their update??? I do like Norton's but my son uses this AVG and he said it was better, lol!!! But again, everyone has their favorite!
    Mine is Norton's so once I confirm that everything is good, I'm going to try redoing Norton's and I'll try your suggestions, if they don't fix it!!
    Thanks again, and will let you know if this is the fixed!!!

  • I've begun getting the error message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" when clicking on some links.

    This happens especially with certain news sites (e.g., NY Times), but also with others. I've updated Firefox and plugins, and checked for the malware file nsBrowserOpt.dll in the components folder of Firefox. My antivirus is up to date. I was able to access the problem sites with IE, though Explorer gave me a similar error message this morning.

    I'm asking for more information.
    Please try that in [[safe mode]] and check for the issue.

  • Random error message="FireFox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.We are sorry for the inconvenience."...What causes this???

    I launch firefox3.6.13 into google homepage.

    another message I get is: " ZoneAlarm browser security detected problem with stability of protected browser. It will be restarted."

    I'm asking for more information.

  • I keep getting the "Bonjour has encountered a problem and needs to shut down." and I can't print anything. I've downloaded latest version and updates and nothing helps. I need my printer to work. Help!

    I am getting this error message every time I turn on the computer. I have the Airport Extreme wireless router. This has been occuring for the last 2-3 months. I have been to the support page and downloaded current versions and updates. I don't think I have a firewall ( I have AVG virus protection). Also, the scanner part of my printer/scanner/copier has not worked since we installed the router. Help!

    The modname is mDNSResponder
    The modver is 2.0.4.0
    2.0.4.0?
    By way of experiment, try installing the latest version of iTunes for Windows:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    That should update your mDNSResponder to version 2.0.5.0 ... with the newer Bonjour componentry in place, do you still get the error when switching on the PC?
    If so, is the modver being shown now 2.0.5.0? Or is it still 2.0.4.0?

  • Firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close

    I have a laptop that runs on Windows XP SP3. I download and install Firefox 13.0. It was working. I turned off the laptop, then turned it on some time later. Whenever I click Firefox, the error message appears, however, I can still use Firefox. Firefox will close if I click "close" in the error message. The only way I can browse the web using Firefox is to drag the error message off screen and then continue on my work.
    I'm sure no one would like an error message just hanging around off screen. I researched for a solution but it seems none of it work.
    1 - "It might be a problem with the plugins/add-ons." I turned off all my plugins/add-ons, restarted Firefox, and I still got the error message.
    2 - "Try Firefox in safe mode." I did and I still got the error message.
    3 - "It might be malware." I did a full scan using Avast and Advanced SystemCare Pro. Still got the error message.
    4 - "Do a reinstall." I still got the error message
    I've tried everything with no results.'

    Try to do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    You can also try a new profile to see if that helps.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If the 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.

  • Error message: firefox.exe has encountered a problem and must close appears when clicking on certain links

    This only began recently and only on certain sites, for example, links within the New York Times site. I've updated Firefox and plugins. I also checked for nsBrowserOpt.dll file within Firefox components - not present.

    I'm asking for more information.

  • Getting "HPNetworkCommunicator.exe has encountered a problem an needs to close" message

    I have an HP Photosmart B210e, product number CN219A.    I am running Windows XP 32 bit and I am using a wireless connection to print. The problem is occuring on an HP Compaq 8510p laptop.
    I have been using the printer for several months and it has worked great but about a week ago, I started getting an error message.   The first time I try to use the printer after turning on the computer I get a message saying "HPNetworkCommunicator.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close".  I am unable to print from that point forward.  Documents that I attempt to print just sit in the qeue.  However, if I shut the computer down and restart it, the print jobs will print on their own as soon as the computer boots up.  But then if I try to print another document I get the same error message and am unable to print.  Once I get the error message I am unable to use the HP software to check ink levels or communicate with the printer in any way.
    I have attempted reinstalling the driver and software 2 times without any success.  I have run the HP print diagnostic utility and it tells me that "everything checks out okay with your printer" and asks me if I want to print a test page.  I try to print the test page and it is unable to print it.
    I have the printer installed on another computer running windows 7 and it still works great.
    Please let me know how I can fix this problem
    I am unaware of any changes made to my computer other than the automatic windows and Mcafee updates.

    I have exactly the same problems.  If you com up with an answer before I do please reply here. I'll do the same.
