Mozilla Crash Reporter window continually pops up and won't let me reload firefox

Firefox crashed. I took it off the computer and tried to reload. The window keeps popping up that says e're sorry firefox had a problem and crashed well try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts to help us diagnonse and fix problem send us a rassh report. then at the bottom it has two buttons one to restart and one to quit. when I click restart the window pops back up. if i try to reload through internet explorer, the same window pops up again!
The Parent control bar was added to internet explorer with no problem and is still there.

Try to delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • How do I get past the Mozilla Crash Reporter window?

    I cannot get Firefox to work. Every time I open it a Mozilla Crash Reporter window opens up with the options to Restart or Quit Firefox. Neither of these work.
    I have the five most recent ID report numbers as suggested in previous posts. Please advise where to go from here.

    Also note that the crash reports state you are using Firefox 11, please update that, as this crash may have been fixed in the past year.

  • HT4796 When I run migration assistant on my PC, I get a message saying windows mail is running and won't let me proceed.  Windows Mail is not running. I checked Task Manager's applications, services and processes and found no references to Window's Mail.

    Got a new iMac 27" for Christmas (well a little after) and tried using Migration Assistant to transfer some files.  I can't get past a window on the PC that pops up indicating Quit Other Programs  Before you can transfer your information, the following programs must be shutdown:  Windows Mail  Close these programs and run Migration Assistant again.  If these programs do not appear to be running, restart your computer and try again.
    I've rebooted.  I've searched Task Manager - Applications, Processes and Services and there are no references to WMail.  I don't or haven't knowingly used Windows Mail and Outlook isn't even installed on my PC.  Does anybody know how to get around this without using external drives, USB flashdrives, etc.

    Lots of fun.... The superdrive in my Macbook seems to have gone off kilter since my install. Now the CD-R won't work regardless of which operating system I use. Normal CD's and DVD's are fine, but any CD-R is taken as a blank disk.
    Using an external CD drive solved this problem.

  • I upgraded Firefox a few months back and rebooted. Now I can't get back into firefox b/c the "reboot now" window keeps on coming back and won't let start the firefox app. How do i fix this?

    I get the following error:
    Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?
    I will reboot but the following message keeps on popping up when I try to start Fireofox. How can I fix this?

    You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
    (1) Page Info > Permissions tab
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
    (2) about:permissions
    In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
    Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
    Any luck?

    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.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • After I close Firefox 4.0 and try to open it later, it says that another instance of firefox is already open and won't let me open firefox. I have to restart computer..

    After it closes I work on another program, etc. When I try to go online again firefox says it's still open even though I can see nothing. Going to Task Manager doesn't show anything open.
    I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

  • Firefox won't shutdown when I close it, and it stays running but won't reload on screen when asked. It says Firefox is running and won't let me reload. I end up closing it with Task Manager. Suggestions?

    see sentences above. Firefox stays running, but the screen clears of Firefox and I can't restart it from the icons.

    Hi,
    Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-hangs this]. Please note that the definite way to close Firefox is '''File''' ('''Alt''' + '''F''') > '''Exit''' and would usually take a few seconds depending on the history clearing settings in '''Tools '''('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Options '''> '''Privacy ''' > '''Settings ''' beside '''Clear History when Firefox closes'''. If a plugin is causing delay you can also try to '''End Process''' the '''plugincontainer''' process and check if Firefox closes on its own.

  • Firefox crashed, will not reopen. Removed perhaps corrupted Firefox. Used Chrome to download new version. Still will not open. Mozilla Crash Reporter continues to come up. I hit open and it just continues to come up.

    My Firefox crashed. I got Mozilla Crash Reporter. It refused to reopen no matter how often I tried or re-booted. It continued to try to restore Tabs. So I used MS Control Panel Add/Delete Programs. I deleted it and then used Chrome to download a new version. But it continues to try to reopen tabs. I love Firefox in spite of it's repeated crashing .... often when I am saving pictures to my hard drive. I love the add-ons and extensions. How do I get around it's effort to restore Tabs? How do I get it to open? I don't care about the Tabs. My Thunderbird email address is [email protected] My OS is MS Windows XP. Please help, Gary

    Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
    One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
    '''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
    Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
    Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
    Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

  • I just downloaded Firefox 4 and I run Windows 7 Ultimate and it crashes before it loads up I double click the link and it brings up the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" everytime I try to start it.

    Basically I downloaded Firefox 4 when it was a beta and now after it's been released and everytime I double click the shortcut or the direct link in the start menu and it shows my mouse with the loading icon and then it pops up the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" and I've submitted multiple reports and got nothing back and I now can't revert back to pre-4.0 Firefox to even just use it while the problem is rectified.

    Your best bet would be to uninstall the BETA and install the actual release, instructions as follows.
    * Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop. If necessary, download the file with IE8 or 9, but choose to save it to your desktop when you see the prompt.
    * Hit '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to bring up '''Task Manager''', go to the '''Processes '''list and see if you can find '''firefox.exe''' running in there. If you do, right click it and choose "'''Kill Process'''".
    * Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox''' and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    * Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox''' at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
    If you prefer to install the previous secure version which is v3.6.16, use the following link, otherwise the procedure is the same: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16]

  • Firefox crashed and now will not start. Cannot create new profile or start in safe mode because Mozilla Crash Reporter appears and will not restart.

    Browing the web, Firefox crashed. Typical "this is embarrassing" window appeared and I could choose to restore or start new session. I tried to restore, and nothing happened. Mozilla Crash Reporter appeared, the option to quit Firefox seems to work but restarting just brings back the Crash Reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but Crash Reporter persists. I tried looking through your articles on crash on startup, but I cannot open Profile Manager, nor start in safe mode, nor anything else, with that Crash Reporter popping up. I can't give you a crash ID as I can't type anything into Firefox address bar if I can't open the program. I'm running Windows 7 starter edition on a netbook. Honetly really only use Firefox on this machine, so help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
    so here ya go.
