Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12 crashes when I download files for sites. What can I do?

When I try to download files from some sites. Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12 crashes. This has happened over and over again. I have sent numerous the crash to Mozilla.

I had no problem when working with version ff3.6.3.
After I updated to 3.6.12, when I try to down load a file or save a page, FF crashes or hangs. After I kill the program from Task manager, and reopen the program, FF successfully continues with the download and finishes it.
So decided to uninstall the entire FF, removing all the existing configurations and do a fresh install.
After I open the newly installed FF 3.6.12 for the first time and try to save the mozilla page, FF 3.6.12 still hangs. Looks like there is a serious bug in v3.6.12.
Please fix it soon.
Where can I download earlier version?
Thanks

Firefox crashes when uploading/downloading files from/to 'desktop folder'

Hello
I'm hoping, that you can help me!
I'm using Firefox 28.0 on MacBook Pro Mavericks 10.9.2
Firefox crashes/freezes when I try to upload/download files from/to my 'desktop folder'.
I't only happens, when I use this folder. Download to 'download folder' or any other folder works fine.
Download to 'desktop folder' when using Safari also works fine.
I't only happens when desktop and firefox tries to communicate.
It's very annoying when I accidentally forget, that the bugs is there, and I have to force quit and start all over again. And sometimes I don't even have a choice, because 'desktop' randomly opens as default folder, when I try to upload things.
Thank you so much in advance!
Kind regards Elizabeth

Hi ESwan,
I am not a Mac user so not the best person to attempt to assist but here goes.
I am presuming that info such as
PID: 1695 Event: cpu usage (microstackshots only)
Relate to the Mac OS X crash & event logging and reporting.
What we need are the ones that Firefox itself generates and submits for processing by Mozilla Firefox
* See [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash]]'''#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash'''
From what you say the crashes occur after a certain action and I am hoping that you will be able to use the easy method as in the article linked above. Navigate to about:crashes by keying ''about:crashes'' into the address bar. You are loolking for the ones starting wth ''bp-'' Paste two or three of those into your next post. Include the bp- part but not any link information before that. After they are pasted into the forum the forum software changed them to be links.

Why is Firefox launching unstopable replicating windows when I download files?

Office 2013 Crashes when Opening Downloaded Files

Hello,
I am running Office 2013 on Windows 7; anytime I attempt to open a Word document that has been downloaded from my email, the program crashes. I see the Word splash screen, then the document opens for about two seconds, then it crashes. Upon reopening
Word, I am prompted to repair the program. After I repair the program and reopen Word again, I am prompted to reactivate the software.
If the attachment is saved directly to the computer, then opened from Word internally, the program works fine. I have already unchecked the boxes in the Trust Center and disabled the COM add-ons.
Any assistance would be appreciated!

Hi,
I’m a little confused about the difference between “open a Word document downloaded from your email” and “attachment is saved directly to the computer”. What is the difference between
them?
Do you open the document on OWA or from Outlook client?
If there is no issue when opening it from OWA, this issue may be related to Outlook client.
Let's troubleshoot this from running Outlook in Safe Mode, to determine if it is 3rd-party add-ins related. Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter. Then we may try to open the attachment, if there’s no problem in Safe
Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
We may also perform a clean boot to determine if background programs are interfering with Word:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If Word crash still appears on local disk, we can analyze crash file.
Let’s enable app crash dump collection by copying following words into notepad, saving it as dump.reg and importing it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\localdumps\WORD.EXE]
"DumpFolder"=hex(2):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,63,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,64,00,75,\
00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00
"DumpCount"=dword:00000010
"DumpType"=dword:00000001
"CustomDumpFlags"=dword:00000000
Then, open Word to repro the issue. If crash issue appeared, please find the crash dump file under c:\.
To further help you, please upload this file into OneDrive and shared the link here.
Also, you can try to analyze dump by yourself if you would like to:

Keynotes crashes when importing presentations to ipad. What can I do to avoid this?

Hi
When trying to import/export keynotes presentations from mac to ipad Keynotes will crash.
I have tried using itunes, idisk og even via e-mail.
The original presentation is made in Powerpoint and then redone in Keynotes.
What do I do wrong?
Best regards
Martin

i have this problem as well. I REFUSE to make another non smart playlist and copy songs from the smart playlist over. This should just work. The whole reason i use smart playlists is because of the live updating which also works for Itunes match. Copying songs into a different playlist defeats the whole purpose of live updating feature. The BPM option of filters is the only reason the song dont show up in the playlist on my phone. The playlist is there but no songs are in the playlist. But it works with in iTunes.

Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled

Well, as I said, Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled. This is on a 2010 white unibody macbook. I have a google toolbar, and all of a sudden, it keeps saying that it can't communicate with the toolbar. Now, I can't even uninstall it because whenever I go to the add on manager, it says there's an 'unresponsive script'. Could anyone help me? Thanks.

I fixed it by running in Safe Mode, and uninstalling Personas. Thanks again!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

If that plugin isn't working properly then its developer needs to fix this via an update.

Windows 7 crashes when I visit certain web sites

I have been running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium since it first came out. I have a HP Pavilion desktop with 8 gb of memory and 700 gb of hard drive. It has worked fine with no crashes since day one. Recently I got my first blue screen with a notice that the system had crashed and a "crash dump" was going on. I rebooted and the system started up again and I have no problems. Now it has happened six or seven times in the past month, most of the time when I visit an ESPN page where there is a video that starts whether I want it to or not. Usually while the video is loading is when the crash happens. One other time it started happening when one of my desktop applications (Weatherbug) was very busy updating itself; after a couple of crashes I uninstalled Weatherbug and now it only crashes when I go to ESPN. This can't be a problem exclusively caused by ESPN, I wouldn't think, and I suspect that if I went to more sites with similar video features it might happen again. But this has never happened before, so what has changed in the past couple of months that has caused my computer to crash so often?

Please Mention the website...
We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

When Firefox tries to do auto update at start I get an error message saying update failed, be sure no other Firefox programs are running. Since none are running I am not sure what to look for. What can I do to eliminate this error?

As I start Firefox the automatic update tells me that Firefox will open after updete finishes. I then receive an error message that tells me the update failed. It also says to be sure there are no other versions ov Firefox running. There are no other instances of Firefox running so the error must be generating from some other issue. Need some hints so I can look further. THis happens on two of 4 computers: a desktop running W7 Ultimate and this web book running W7 Home Premium.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:
*C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
*(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates)
*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates
*Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
*Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. Do not remove personal data when uninstalling.
*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.

7.6 Win crashes when opening some files that open on Mac

On XP SP3, I can play Apple movie previews without problem in Firefox.
I can also view certain 3rd party tutorials in quicktime in Firefox without any problems.
If I download the same files I was viewing without problem, quite often QuickTime 7.6 will crash when opening the file.
It's not a corrupt file, as if I try a few times, it will finally open.
These same files have zero problem if I open them in QT 7.6 on the Mac.
I'm running a server motherboard with ECC memory from a RAID with ECC memory, and I have NO crashes with my other software (SQL Server, Visual Studio, etc.)
How can I resolve this crashing issue?

I should have mentioned, to get it to crash, I double click on the file when Quicktime is NOT running (I don't have Quicktime set to always run either).
I found that if I open Quicktime 1st, THEN I can double click on the file and have it open (the one I could not get to open at all).

Itunes Crashes when importing Music File or Folder on Windows 7 64-Bit with Itune 10.5 and update ios 5

Itunes crashes when importing Music File or Folder ever since i updated it yesterday

You can try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). You may get a more useful error message as to which component has problems.

Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
IA32
ADBC
eBook
EScript
HLS
PPKLite
SaveAsRTS
However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.
