My Firefox 6.0.1 keeps crashing over and over.

Sometimes it will stay open and let me browse for 5 or 10 minutes. Other times it crashes after only a few seconds. It also is VERY SLOW and hangs for a long time before loading pages. This just started out of the blue. HELP!

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also 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.
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 initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Firefox crashes for no reason, randomly. Sometimes I can be on it for hours and its fine and sometimes it crashes over and over again.

I just purchased an HP laptop. It has Windows 8 installed on it. Ever since getting Firefox installed (with no add ons) I have been having problems. Firefox starts fine, loads fine, works fine. But then there are times when it will crash over and over again for no reason at all. Google.com is my homepage and sometimes it crashes on that.
I don't go to many pages, facebook is the main one and it crashes almost constantly now. This is the longest I've been online in 2 days.

Hello katielawrence, We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
#Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
Thanks in advance for your help!

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Hopefully this helps!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
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")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Voice memos keeps emailing the same memo over and over.

I used voice memos just once two days ago. I created a short (30 secs) memo and emailed it to my yahoo account. The file keeps getting sent to my inbox. 20 times so far! I've deleted it from voice memo but it keeps getting sent. HOW DO I STOP IT! Anyone else had this problem? I'm with virgin mobile in Australia.

I have had this exact same problem. Over the past few days I've been e-mailed the same voice memo at least 50 times. I also have a yahoo account, maybe this has something to do with it. I even deleted the voice memo from my iPhone but it continues to be e-mailed over and over.
I don't have a solution, just wanted you to know it's happened to me too.

Downloaded Firefox 4--computer asks over and over to restart, Firefox will not load, cannot remove it!!

I received an update message after my system had installed the newest Firefox 3. something, approximately 4 days ago. (Today is 3/22, so about 3/17--18) The newest update , when started, took me to the Mozilla homepage, where It was suggested I download and comment on the new Firefox 4---I do not normally do this, but am so impressed with Firefox versus most others, that I did, now, I cannot open Firefox at all, the older version, 3. something, is not in my system, only 4, but my system/PC upon trying to open the new Firefox, prompts me over and over to restart the system, (which I have done 3 times) I figured I would then simply remove it, (Firefox 4) and either try it again, or re-install the newest 3. something---I cannot remove it, even using my anti-virus program to do so, it simply prompts over and over to restart, wether I try to open, remove, or access it in any way---I do not wish to use system restore, but that seems my only option, please help!!!

I had the same problem and the solution is quite simple:
- delete all data that has to do with Firefox and Mozilla
- Reinstall the new version Firefox 4
You have to make sure that everything is deleted and well yes you will lose your profile data but at least it works again without any problem.

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
If running, turn your computer off.
Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
Now start your computer but also;
'''Windows; '''Press the <F8> key repeatedly.
'''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
'''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted
into various run levels that determine which resources are loaded.
For example, "runlevel 1" is typically the equivalent to Windows and
Mac safe modes.
* Source; '''[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Linux+Safe+Mode Safe Mode; Free Online Encyclopedia]'''
When the '''Boot''' menu is displayed, release the key you were pressing.
You must now choose what mode to use. The most used are;
* Safe Mode; The computer runs with only a minimum set of programs.

I can no longer update apps on my iPhone or iPad1. It keeps asking me to agree to new terms, which I do, then stops and asks again over and over. Please help. I do not want to update to a new iOS

I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4 or my iPad 1 because it keeps asking me over and over to agree to new terms, so I do that and it still does not work. Just around and around in a circle. I do not want to update software. I like what I have.

Pay attention to the numerous posts on this tonight.....try again tomorrow.

Can't update or aquire new loops. also isn't reconzied by app store and keeps downloading the app over and over instead of updating.

Was playing around with 6.0.5 and noticed I had loops I could download. tried to do so and was told to try to download now or later. I tired to do so and it took me to the app store's update page but it showed no new updates available. I tried to uninstall GB and I for some reason don't have permission to do so even though i'm the only user. also the app store doesn't recognize that I have GB even downloaded at all. so I tried just downloading it from the store and ended up with two GB applications. one that was around 300mb and the other 800mb. the one I would download from the store would never start but would just try to update over and over again. I would delete it and restart my mac and try it again and same thing. I can't seem to do anything else. I can't get any newer versions from the app store because they don't run and I can't update the one version of GB that does function. so I'm kind of stuck with an incomplete copy of GB and a copy that doesn't run and keeps trying to download for 15mins over and over again.
I really have idea what else I can do...

All I can suggest
- Is to download the update file on onother computer/network and try to copy to your computer and try again
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

HI,
Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
