I used to like Firefox because it was so stable. Now it crashes all the time.

A small blue circle appears and goes round and round and a whitish screen covers the window such that you can see the page behind it but you cannot interact with it. It is frozen. This happens almost every time I try to use Firefox. I am going to have to shift to Chrome. This is really screwing up the computer. I am not sure what more details to give you. I hit control alt delete and look at the open applications. Often it has not responding after Firefox, but not always. The page is frozen regardless of what it says about responding or not.
I use this computer for my small business and this has made it very difficult.

When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment and displays the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Are you seeing that, or is Firefox just freezing and you're killing it?
Assuming you have crashes, you can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
If that's not possible, have you tried Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

  • I need the Google toolbar so I reinstalled Firefox 4 but now it crashes all the time. When are you going to have a current version that's compatible with the toolbar?

    When I updated to Firefox 5, I got a message that the Google toolbar was disabled as it wasn't compatible. I assume the same is true for version 6. After trying to use the browser without the toolbar for a few days I gave up and reinstalled version 4. Now I'm constantly getting pop-ups asked me to upgrade and I can't even submit feedback because you won't accept it until I upgrade. And version 4, which I never had a problem with before, is now very unstable and I have to shut it down at regular intervals to unfreeze it.
    Do I need to switch to a different browser in order to use the Google toolbar?

    The Google Toolbar "will not be supported on Firefox 5 and future versions." <br />

    The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.<br />

  • HT1338 for the last 6 months my mac is crashing all the time. I think it is safari because firefox works fine. Any suggestions?

    for the last 6 months my mac is crashing all the time. I think it is safari because firefox works fine. Any suggestions?

    What is crashing, is it just Safari or is the entire computer freezing (if that's what you mean by crashing)? If the latter, are you saying it only happens when Safari is open?
    You need to explain with more detail just what is happening and when.
    Do you get a message to restart?

  • Firefox 9.0.1 crashes all the time, I just can't use it anymore. Would it be possible to propose the verion 8 for download ? Thanks

    Hi there,
    Firefox has been updated on my computer on the 8th of Jan. 2012. It started crashing yesterday, until I almost could not open any site at all. It seems to crash when there are some videos. For example, I watch TV on Zattoo.com, when I go on this site, Firefox crashes all the time especially when I open other windows.
    Now I would like to go back to the version 8, but I can not find this version for download. Where could I find it, or could you propose it on your web site ?
    Many thanks !

  • Firefox was fine until the last update, now it crashes all the damn time

    It never crashed until the update to 9.1, now it just crashes all the time, various sites, just stops no warning, nothing.

    These links are of no help whatsoever, Firefox updated itself to 9.1. I have not added any software, hardware or changed a thing since before the update. It only started crashing unexpectedly after the update. Therefore, logic would conclude there's a glitch in the update wouldn't it? I have downloaded and reinstalled it twice since the update and the crashing began. The last time I did this was yesterday, so far so good..I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

  • Firefox Crashes all the time

    I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled removed all the plug ins I also made sure that I deleted the programs folder and everything. I even uninstalled and reinstalled adobe flash and it is still crashing all the time.

    Extensions
    Problematic extensions may cause crashes. Start in Firefox Safe Mode and click "Continue in Safe Mode". This will help determine if an extension is causing the problem, since Safe Mode disables all extensions.
    Note: If Firefox also crashes in Firefox Safe Mode, then an extension is not the problem and you should skip to the next section.
    If Firefox no longer crashes when you run in Firefox Safe Mode, go to the Add-ons Manager Extensions list, click the Disable button for every extension, and restart Firefox normally. If the crashes no longer occur when you run Firefox in normal mode with all extensions disabled, one of your extensions was causing Firefox to crash. Try re-enabling them one at a time, to find the problem extension.
    If disabling all extensions and restarting Firefox in normal mode doesn't resolve the crash problem:
    In Firefox 4 and above, Firefox Safe Mode also disables hardware acceleration, so the problem could be a video device or driver issue (see below). Try unchecking the option to use hardware acceleration in Firefox ("Tools -> Options -> Advanced / General").
    Firefox Safe Mode also disables the JavaScript JIT compiler. In Firefox 4 or above, try setting javascript.options.methodjit.* preferences to false in about:config ( see below).

  • FCPX crashes all the time using the Intensity Pro Card for monitor preview wassup?

    I have been using FCPX for a few months and I like it somewhat and could really love it for it not crashing on all my projects. If I scrub the timeline or apply a filter it crashes. I'm using the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card for monitor output and the latest drivers that they put out and can't really get through a project because it crashes all the time.I thought that if i get a different display card it would possible help I have the GForce 120 card which only has 256MB ram.Can anybody put some light on the issue?

    FCP X currently does not support Intensity Pro cards.

    I really like firefox and I hope I won't have to move to another browser.
    Thank you in advance.

    The crash report shows;
    Signature msvcr120.dll
    What were you doing at the time?
    Please post the crash reports for the last 5 days.

  • Firefox Mobile 18a1 crashes all the time

    I have been testing Nightly builds of Firefox Mobile for Android for some time now. Recently (after Ion landed), the browser crashes all the time. I can't even get into about:config or about:crashes long enough to get any useful information or try anything. Is there a way to put the browser in Safe Mode? Any other ideas?
    Samsung Galaxy Nexus
    CyanogenMod 10 (Nightly) (Android 4.1.1)
    and
    HP TouchPad
    CyanogenMod 9 (Android 4.0.3)

    Hey,
    Yes, this is known. We've got a couple bug reports on file and have been investigating it this week. See bugs: http://bugzil.la/791781, http://bugzil.la/792342, http://bugzil.la/790139.
    The crash you describe sounds like http://bugzil.la/790139 as I came across this too yesterday.
    Hopefully we'll see some fixes soon.

  • Using slideshow with lots of pictures crashes all the time

    I am again working on a project with 400 pictures.  As I try to get then into the project, the thing just crashes all the time and I have to load back up.  Since this has happened to me on many projects, but I do not see others having issues, this implies others do not use slideshow much with lots of pictures.  And this time it is a DVD.
    Dave

    With PPro can you do a transistion to 350 pictures at one time?
    Yes, with Automate to Sequence, but there are limitations and qualifications. This would be a good subject to read up on, so that all i's are dotted, and t's are crossed, per the requirements of this function. This will apply a single Transition to all images.
    I use Dip-to-Black, Cross-Dissolve and then butt-cuts for 99% of my Transitions. Each is chosen specifically to convey the passage of time, etc.
    Can you get PPro do some random pan and zoom on the 350 in a single step?
    No. Now, I treat each image as unique, and animate each thusly. If I have one image with a face, I may want to zoom in and pan to the eyes, or the mouth. If I have a group shot, I may want to single out one person's face. Even with advanced AI, no program can possibly know what I, the producer, will want from any picture. I have never used any random pans and zooms, as I have my own ideas of what animation should be applied. That is one reason that I can decide on the exact Scale (size) of each image. In a normal SlideShow, the vast majority of my images will be resized to the exact Frame Size of the Project. I then may have a few, that are larger by a good bit, because I will pan on a zoomed out image. Then, I might have some more, that are in between these sizes. I will do a separate folder for each size of image, and use them accordingly. If I have miscalculated, I just do a resize for that image.
    Now, you might want to also look into ProShow Gold, or their Producer program. I am looking at Producer for more "canned" SlideShows, and it looks very good. Have not bought it yet, as PrPro still works well for me, and I still do most of my work by hand and by eye.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
