Mint 13 X64 Firefox 17.0.0 in Channel and 17.0.1 downloaded crashing very regularly

I have 2 machines (a laptop and desktop) both with problems with FF crashing very regularly. Both are running Linux Mint X64 13 Mate, FF 17.0.0 in channel and one also has 17.0.1 downloaded from the site and installed to /opt/firefoxd but not linked to the FF in /usr/bin/ so I could do a little trouble shooting. Previous to a round of updates that included going from FF 16 to 17 on the system there was no problems. I have tried removing my profile and starting fresh, and changing flash to "Click to play" in the config of FF to see if that was the problem.

Well snap I downloaded 16.0.2 from the older repository here, installed it to /opt/firefox16/ and it crashed also. Is there any way for me to get a more detailed info from FF as to what is causing the crash? Could it be a problem with OpenJRE?

Do you have a phone support number?
Firefox often disappears from my computer and I have to redownload. I do it from your site hoping it's safe, but my Internet Explorer always blocks it at first and I have to tell it it's ok. Then my virus checker pops up and says "potential problem", and then I search all the other options for downloading and the same thing happens with all of them.
How can I be sure I'm safe when downloading Firefox and why does this happen so often? I have XP, but my husband has it also on two computers, and he never has this problem.
I have also searched to see if I can contribute to Firefox, because I think it is a GREAT browser. I just don't know where to go for information like this, and you don't seem to have a phone number.
Thank you.

Hi Standupmom, I might be considered a random person, actually.
Maybe this is the other page you remember? [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/ Get Involved: Volunteer Opportunities at Mozilla].

I have Firefox 4 on Mac OS10.6 and am unable to download Firefox updates.s

I periodically get on my screen a notice of an available update to Firefox. It says to click in order to download. I do so and it goes on forever and continues indefinitely. I also tried to download Firefox 5 manually and when trying to put it into my applications folder got a message that I couldn't 'cause I didn't have permission for all things . I have Mac OS 10.6.7 and it's working fine with Firefox 4.

Exactly what are you getting? A pic of the message would help.
And no. I am not going to click on your link.

I tried to uninstall firefox and to install again on linux mint.Now firefox ask every time for a profile,i never make a profile before and this is a serious problem to me.Firefox can't open and work like before the uninstall

Hi,i am running linux mint.I tried to change the firefox folder from the file system with a new firefox folder cause i had a problem with one extension(download statusbar).So,after that i have problem,firefox ask me about profile and after some tests about it from me,firefox always says"this profile its allready in use,make a new profile or rename one profile".I don't know anything about profiles,first time i see that i can make a profile it's now.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Since getting version 22 (release update channel) I had a few days with very large text; today, Firefox will not start. How to get it running again???

I've searched for an .exe file in Firefox program files, but there doesn't seem to be one anywhere. I'd like to uninstall, download a new program and reinstall, but I'd rather not lose bookmarks and other settings.
Running Windows 7 on a Sony Vaio laptop. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox, you WILL NOT lose any bookmarks, history, and settings. 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 http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#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.

Adobe flash plugin disappeared from my firefox and I cannot re-download it

Today at approx. noon, I was on youtube and every video said to download Adobe Flash Player plugin. I tried reinstalling Adobe Flash Player and installed the 8.0 beta firefox browser and it still wont reinstall or show it exists as a plugin

'''Adobe Flash'''

#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.

Firefox is constantly comes to stall and there is nothing in my crash report, how can I fix it?
It stops working for about 2 to 3 min., then either I close the browser or it shuts-down by itself.

Logical Channels and Opening An Application

Hello,
Upon sending an APDU to a Java Card (a GEM card) to open a channel, it works fine. But when I try to select an application on that new logical channel which is in the secured state, it always gives back an error, but I can select that same application from the basic channel. Do I need to do something else besides simply opening the new logical channel to let it be able to select applications in the secured state?
Thanks,
Mizax

Hello,
Thanks for your response.
Yes I'm sure the card supports multiple logical channels, I've checked the historical bytes, and am able to open the number of logical channels the historical bytes say I should.
I can select other applications on the new logical channel and send commands to them, that works fine. When selecting a secured application, it fails with error code. In particular, I'm trying to select the card manage application, and that fails. Although this shouldn't be necessary, I make sure the basic channel doesn't have the card manager selected also:
Log:
Warm Reset Card
Open Logical Channel 1
Command: 00 70 00 01
Response: 90 00
Select some other App on the Basic Channel:
Command: 00 A4 04 00 0F A0 00 00 00 18 50 21 00 00 00 00 00 57 49 42
Response: 90 00
Select card manager on Channel 1:
Command: 01 A4 04 00 07 A0 00 00 00 18 43 4D
Response: 6E 00
To sum up: Open a new logical channel, select some other app on the basic channel, try to select the card manager on the new logical channel, it fails. If I then reselect the card manager on the basic channel, it works fine. I can select other non-secured apps on the new logical channel, and that works fine too. In any of the cases I mention, I ensure that only one channel is trying to select an app, so that I'm not worrying about the issue of whether an app is multi-selectable.
I've been wrestling and googling this for hours with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mizax

Then after hitting OK again and box goes away, when I move my mouse the box comes up identically again. I even called Apple support.

I just updated to 4.0.1 on my mac and now it says "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the web". It is not my internet since I am using Safari just fine. Any suggestions? I sure wish I wouldn't have updated!

I closed then reopened my navigation toolbar using the Alt button. When it re-opened the add-ons(?) that were on it were no longer there. I'm specifically looking for two add-ons that took me to "Major Television channels" and "Minor television channels".

I would be content just to have the add-ons back, the one that allowed me to view ABC, NBC, CBS and a handful of other channels, and the one that connected me to the National Geographic channel and I believe some of the Discovery, etc channels . I can get to the Nat Geo if I go through my history but most of the other channels I can't. I've had MozFire on my computer for a while but mainly used Google Chrome until last week when I decided to check out MozFire. As has happened in the past I found myself really liking this program and wondering why I haven't been using it all along.

When I bring up my Mozillafirefox, all I get is a window with a blank white screen, (and the firefox logo). (After using Firefox very happily for over a year, I had to 'reinstall' Firefox 3.66 about a month and a half ago, (and lost all my bookmarks as a result therein), and hope I can get my firefox back this time without having to reinstall. Mozilla Firefox is still listed as one of my active programs). HELP! Is there a way to get my firefox back without reinstalling? Many thanks!

Firefox says it has an error and needs to close

Firefox says it has an error and needs to close. I have sent multiple reports and no change. It says it is an firefox.exe problem. Please help

I also used version 7 and faced the same problem, it shows,
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMLocation.hostname]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://searchshield/content/overlay.js :: onContentLoaded :: line 918" data: no]

I want Firefox to open to my homepage every time after it crashes. I do not want it to return to the tabs and applications that caused the crash. I am willing to lose information. How do I do this?

Firefox crashes or seizes up when there are too many tabs and applications open, and causes my computer to crash or seize up. I use task manager to close Firefox or I restart my computer. Then, when Firefox restarts again, it automatically re-opens all the tabs and applications that caused the computer to seize or crash in first place. This is a waste of my time. I want Firefox to reopen to my homepage even if it crashes. I am willing to lose information to have Firefox reopen to a low-memory homepage. How do I do this?

Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
See also:
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Session_Restore#Preferences
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.
