Multiple crashes daily of mozilla firefox with windows operating system. Crash reports sent but no change.

for the past 4 weeks, firefox crashes daily multiple times. I already have it set to send the crash report to mozilla but no change/help from firefox. why the constant crashing?

Hi bostongio9
Your crashes all have a different crash signature.
You can try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 18.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*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 in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Maybe also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

*Spybot Search & Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
*Kasperky Free Security Scan: http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan
You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.

I have take pictures from my ipad 4. How to download to my computer with windows operating system conneted through USB cable with out using internet

Plug your iPad into your computer. THere may be a delay while it installs drivers but if you can see your iPad in windows explorer, use that to get to your photos.
Click on your iPad and you should see a DCIM folder. Click thorugh that to find your photos.
Windows explorer will see your iPad as nothing more than a digital camera, and that's the part you're trying to access.

JAR file problem with windows operating system rare

hi,
I have an application created with Eclipse 3.2, which also have a plugin that helps me to create jar files, migrate days ago all my application and my data base to a notebook that has a very rare operating system is Windows Vista, but is a version very rare and never seen, called oneAngel Illusion, and I think that that is not capable of running the JAR correctly, that when you double click or enter to JAR nothing happens, and I prove it on a machine that has XP and functioning properly.
I hope I can help with this!

I hope I can help with this!You should know, if you don't already, that your 'super rare' version of Windows Vista, sounds like one of numerous, illegal, cracked and knocked-off versions of Vista that have been floating about. Things like Windows Vista Silver and Windows Vista Sky are not only completely illegal reproductions of pirated copies of Vista but they often have terrible bugs and security deficiencies that can sacrifice the integrity of your data. Honestly, if you're already shooting yourself in the foot with this bootlegged operating system, just get Linux, it's just like stealing but without the unsavory prison shower encounters.

Can't get to any websites using Mozilla Firefox with Windows XP

Have installed NoScript and use the icon to allow the individual websites, but I still get the "JavaScript required" notice. If I look with the icon, the website is allowed. Can't reach my Verizon DSL email nor Facebook.

Hey, pizzapie22!
In my experience with NoScript, sometimes even if you allow the main site to load JS, some blocked scripts from different domains prevent content from loading.
Does your NoScript icon have a smaller "No" symbol in its lower-right corner? If it does you may have to allow additional scripts.
Does this help?

Consistently does not open, gives the error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\firefox.exe Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may no

Installed FF 16, 17, 18. Will not open in normal administrator login, nor with "Run as administrator" but will in W7 safe mode. Changed permissions (had to do it in W7 Safe Mode, normal login would not allow (logged in as an administrator) could not delete the Mozilla files in normal login. On rare occasions, with a new install, I could get it to open once, then not again. Searched the reg for any mention of Mozilla or FF and cleaned it. Tried FF safe mode, no luck. Checked permissions after taking ownership and propagating full ownership rights to all FF files, many reboots, no luck. Chrome, IE and SeaMonkey work fine. Using a fairly new install of W7 Professional 64 bit, on a Dell Optiplex 990 i7, 16GB ram. Had the same problem with another user on an identical box. No problem on other computers No other program problems.

I should have been a bit more definitive.
I have uninstalled FF, with the windows uninstaller, by manually cleaning the files and the registry of any mention of FF or Mozilla, and by running Revo uninstaller - always rebooting and checking to see if the files are indeed gone. (I have set windows file preferences to see all files, including system files.) I have run 4 AV/malware scanners and found nothing but a few tracking cookies. I download, from Mozilla.org, (http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/18.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2018.0.exe) a fresh copy of the Firefox Setup 18.0.exe each time and install when logged in as an administrator and choose "Run as Administrator". I get the same result each time I try to open Firefox. Consistently does not open, gives the error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\firefox.exe Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." This happens even when I run the .exe file from the x86 program directory. I have also attempted to run in XPsp3 compatibility mode to no avail,
I make the following assumptions:
The system is not infected
I am doing clean installs
There is no existing trace of FF on the system
I get identical results on one other W7 64 bit Optiplex 990 system with an i7 processor and 16 GB or ram.
I CAN run in windows safe mode with networking.
I have no other software or hardware issues.

Hey, I'm doing some cross browser testing and i want to know Is there any difference between the behavior of Firefox in an operating system 64bit & operating system with 32bit. (like windows7/windows vista...)

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

Lot of addons are not working even after uninstalling and reinstalling them. Using 3.6.12 version of firefox with windows

I am using 3.6.12 version of firefox with windows OS. Recently, lot of addons not working and not showing in task bar like IE tab, RC Search, Answers, Better Privacy, AdBlock plus, etc. I have some 15-20 addons installed of which only 5-6 addons are working .Please help

Update to 3.6.17 in the first instance by clicking '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.
The main reason for this is because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
See: http://blogs.comodo.com/category/it-security/data-security/
It's not a good idea to install an ActiveX control in Firefox because you expose your machine to exploits which target that Microsoft technology. If you need to use Internet Explorer, then do that rather installing the IE Tab.
You may find your other add-ons start working properly after you update Firefox, so do that first.

I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I cannot download Firefox 4 because it says it is incompatible with my operating system, although supposedly it is compatible with OS X 10.5

I would like to download Firefox 4. I get an error message during download saying it is incompatible with my operating system and that it needs OS X 10.5 or 10.6 but I AM using 10.5.8, so what might be the problem?

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

I am using OS 10.4 on my iMac. how do I get an earlier version of Firefox, which would be compatible with my operating system?

IPop Use with different operating systems Windows And Mac Osx

so the quetion is this can i use my IPod with different Operatin systems?
I have a MacBook at home where i keep all my Music in and at the office i have a Windows network i would like to carry some music from home to the office using my IPod. I thought that a solution is to Partition my Ipod 40G in 2 parts and have one of them FAT so that my Windows operating system can view it.
Did any of you done it? and if so How? did you loose the use of some of the IPod functions?
let me Know if there are ways to carry music using your Ipod from the MacOSX to Windows Prof or home edition thanks!
Donatello

Your problem has nothing to do with data vs music. Music IS data. I've used my iPod for data and music since the first iPod was released. There's no reason to think the two OS versions are involved either.
Look at your usage practices - and I'm not necessarily suggesting you are abusing your computer. Has one of your computers crashed while the iPod was connected? This could cause data damage that might explain the problem. Have you ever disconnected the iPod without un-mounting it first?
You might also be creating fragmentation problems if you frequently add and remove data files while at the same time adding and removing music. One decision I made when I was using my iPod to transport lots of movies and photos for a project was to NOT make any music changes during that busy two week period.

QUESTION:
I constantly use in-browser flash. And I've tried quite a few browsers, computers, different computers with differnent operating systems. They've all done the same thing. CRASH. Over, and over, and over again. 10 times or more per day. Yes, I play the Facebook games, but I also use it for in-browser radio/video. It is one of the most annoying things I've ever had to endure on a computer. If there was something else I could use, I'd already downloaded it and deleted Adobe Flash. But since there really isn't anything at the moment, I'm stuck having to write this up and hope that there is a fix. There are thousands with this issue online. If I find a fix here, I will gladly share it with every person I know.
But back to the issue. Whether I have one tab open, or twenty. Flash crashes about every 20-30 minutes. Every now and then, it'll hit an hour. I've also turned off Google Chrome's built-in flash and vise versa. I've gone through so many helps and fixes online it's not even funny. If there's any kind of fix that I can do that will stop all these crashes, I would appreciate this very much. I can't list every little detail I've ever done on this forum, but I will tell you if I have already tried anything that is said here. I hope someone says something new and we can get this thing fixed.
--Oh yeah, and this has gone on since my computer was an hour old. Back a couple years ago. Back a couple wipes ago.. I've factory reset 3 times I believe since I got this computer. Don't ask, just how I am. Junk happens and from time to time I like to wipe it all out. Just how I do. I have external drives so everything gets backed up and becomes rather easy to wipe my computer.

I couldn't have written it better myself. I did exactly what is talked about here and feel exactly the same way,

Is there a compatability issue with Firefox and Andriod operating system 2.2.3? I can't get Firefox to work. I have tried uninstalling it and it won't download. in English

Hi Drbobdog, there shouldn't be a compatibility with Android OS 2.2.3. There may be a compatability with the device itself.
Here are the system requirements:

I hope this helps.
