Newest update to Firefox Crashes with BEX error code

Updated Firefox to newest version. Upon restarting Firefox it crashes with BEX error code. Deactivated all anti-spyware, removed all traces of Firefox and did a new re-install, and tried to open in Safe Mode but it still crashes upon start with same error code. (Firefox only runs on initial install but upon restart always crashes) Attempted to find an older version of firefox but can not find older version. I do not see any help related to the severity of my crashes. How do you fix the BEX crash?

When you started in Safe Mode*, did you get the Safe Mode dialog or Firefox never got that far? Did you ever get to your home page?
BEX = Buffer Overflow Exception or Data Execution Prevention (DEP) exception. DEP is a security feature that seeks to prevent exploits that inject program code into Windows memory. Firefox doesn't trigger this error on its own, but add-ons or external programs that tweak Firefox might.
Are you using any special configurations to run Firefox, such as virtual machines or sandboxing?
If not, it sound suspicious. You may want to run some supplemental scans. These two tools are highly regarded:
Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

* I assumed Firefox Safe Mode. Or was it Windows Safe Mode with Networking?

  • M93p+HD8570+Win7+KB267038/IE10: WMP crashes with BEX error playing AVI

    Apparently this one's been out and known about for a while, but I just ran into it this week while finishing up the custom software install on a newly received M93p with Windows 7 Pro x64, which also included the AMD HD8570 graphics upgrade.  Driver for the HD8570 (OEM) is provided by Lenovo, not by AMD.  This is not a retail AMD card, but a Lenovo-provided OEM upgrade of an AMD card, and the drivers are only available from Lenovo.
    Turns out Windows Media Player 12 on Win7 with the AMD HD8570 graphics on the M93p cannot play AVI files now, instead crashing with a BEX error.
    Turns out this is caused by a Microsoft update KB2670838 in conjunction with certain AMD graphics and machine chipsets (Q87 on the M93p), which apparently includes the discrete HD8570 and the M93p.  There is a discussion of this problem on Sevenforums in this thread, as well as in other places on the Internet.
    Unfortunately, KB2670838 is also tied to the Windows Update that delivered IE10.  So if you selectively UNINSTALL the KB2670838 update (which DOES eliminate the BEX error in WMP when playing AVI files) you also trigger the backout of IE10 which reverts back to the originally delivered IE8... which is probably undesirable for most of us.  So while you now CAN play AVI files again, you're sadly back to IE8.
    Also, the most recent Windows Update to IE11 in Win7 also retains KB2670838, so really any "current" version of IE beyond IE8 with this particular AMD hardware is going to see this BEX crash when WMP plays AVI files.  There simply is no way to selectively uninstall KB2670838 by itself, while retaining IE10 or IE11.
    Rumor has it that MS is "working on a fix", but for the moment it is obviously not publicly available.
    That's the story.  Just wanted to share what information I now am aware of.
    If you do want to install IE10 or IE11 on Win7 and with the M93p and HD8570, then your temporary "solution" in this particular hardware/software configuration is to instead use some other media player program when wanting to play an AVI that you would otherwise use WMP for.  For example, the English version of the excellent Pot Player is a superb alternative, as it plays EVERYTHING!!

    I am having almost exactly the same problem with Lightroom 4 and now, with Lightroom 5.
    I was able to import .NEF photos, .PEF and .RW2 RAW formats from the folders already on my external RAID harddrive. However, I was unable to import video from the same folders. My problem is exactly like the one ntreuter was having -- I can sometimes get a few video files to import, but then the import process runs for a very long time,and I get an popup error message "There was a problem importing the video".
    When I try to "syncronize folder", the same thing happens. I am unable to import any video and the process ends with the popup error message "There was a problem importing the video".  Sometimes I am also unable to upload photos because the import process crashes because of video files.
    This is crazy. I've searched online and there are a number of reports of this problem, but no clear solution at all.
    My system:
    Lenovo W520
    2.20 gigahertz Intel Core i7-2720QM
    16 gigs RAM
    64 kilobyte primary memory cache
    256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
    6144 kilobyte tertiary memory cache

    Hyper-threaded (8 total)

    NVIDIA Quadro 1000M [Display adapter]
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem are greatly appreciated!

    I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it.
    I have tried to go ( as I saw one person on you tube do ) --> Right click computer --> click on properites --> advanced system settings --> settings ( under performance section ) --> Data execution prevention --> Turn on DEP for all programs except the programs listes below. --> when I try to add photoshop in there, it wont allow me to. It says It needs to be turned on.
    Ive tried to research why it's crashing, but at the moment I cant see where or how to fix it.
    Really stuck, any help will be awesome.
    Thanks
    Lionel

    You're several updates behind -- please go install the Photoshop updates.
    But it looks like the error might be in a driver (or something that jumps into unknown code) - so you might want to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website. And make sure that any third party plugins you have installed are up to date.

  • Xfinity TV website constantly crashing with different error codes

    I am extremely fed up with this website. I constantly get 900 codes, which were fixed for a short while and now I can't load any videos with a 422 code. What is the major malfunction with this website? I never have issues streaming video on any other site but this one, and this is on every web browser. When are these issues going to be fixed? Being that, I only watch tv on the website, this makes me want to cancel Comcast.

  • Itune 8 installs but crashes with BEX error

    Problem signature:
    I am getting this when running itune 8 in 32 bit vista home preminum.
    It works however when run in xp Sp2 compatibility mode.
    7.7.1 was working before in vista before the upgrade so it's not problem with other softwares.
    Can't believe 8.0 still has vista problem...it's like we are beta testing for apple. If the software is not ready for prime time, please change the release date and fix it instead of rushing it like that of "ME" mess out there.
    Now I am not even sure if I want to isntall my iphone 2.1 that might also brick my phone.
    This is a strange problem since the same itune 8 install and runs fine in my office computer with xp sp3 and my dell laptop with vista also.

  • Most of my games enjoy crashing with unexpected errors.

    *I own a:*
    Macbook Pro (Mac OS X; Version 10.6.6)
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    4 GB 10067 MHz DDR3
    With most of my games, they crash randomly. They can work at some points and for extended periods of time rather well, and then randomly crash with unexpected errors. Sometimes they work for a few days, other days they get a crash. Or they could have so many errors that it's hard to play for more than fifteen minutes, or even at all. It started with my Sims 3 games - they crash once every so often, then the same with new games I've gotten, such as Spore, Neverwinter Nights 2 (one of the ones it has happened most with), and Fable (which doesn't even play for more than five minutes before crashing - always - so it's been unplayable), and now suddenly with World of Warcraft (I got Cataclysm), it has been crashing with errors several times a day for the past week or so. I can't tell if this is because all my games coincidentally have something wrong with them, or are too high in graphics or performance for my computer, or if it's my computer having a hardware/video card/etc. issue and/or needing to be updated to handle the games. What should I assume, or do? Should I just take it in somewhere?

    I am unsure how to check how full my hard drive is. How does one do that?
    Also, they just end up freezing a few seconds before crashing. I'm usually not doing anything out of the ordinary, though very seldom do I think it may be because I'm doing (or running) too much at once, but I can't be positive on this. Some games just crash without explanation. Others crash and give an error that I can send in to the companies, like WoW.

  • Itunes 10.5 crashes with no error when trying to play any music, video, or import/scan from the library folder on the compter with Windows 7 Pro.

    Fresh install with all older itunes un-installed as well as other Apple software.
    Now cannot get any songs, videos, or even scan library folder for songs to work on the computer.
    itunes just simply crashes with no error comments.
    This is itunes 10.5 on a Windows 7 Pro system.

    Same here, though on XP. Have tried cleaning registry, reinstalling, deleting preferences. Created a new user with no library and I have the problem there, too, so it's not the library.
    Is there no one to call about this??

  • Update fails, uninstalls Adobe with an Error 1303

    I had a employee report that he couldn't open PDF files.
    I go to his machine, and thought thats strange Adobe Reader X isn't installed.  I re-installed and didn't think much about it.
    About 10 minutes later he called again and it was missing again.
    I delved into the issue and found that when the Updater is running, and executing because I have it set to automatically install updates, that it fails with an error:
    error 1303 the installer has insufficient priviledges to access this directory: c:\program files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0.  The installation cannot continue.  Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator.
    I've tried taking ownership of the Adobe folder under c:\programdata\, and the one located in c:\program files(x86)\Common Files and inherited the correct permissions.
    I've restarted the machine and the update always uninstalls Adobe, and then fails to install the update.
    I was thinking it was Kaspersky that was interfering but as best I can tell I disabled the policy and each component from Kaspersky and it still fails to apply the update.
    Any ideas?
    Also the user is an Administrator Account, I double checked.

    Just chiming in to say that I'm seeing the same Adobe Reader update issue with a 64-bit Windows 7 machine (a ThinkPad T410s - also with the Nvidia+Intel switchable graphics setup).  I had tried uninstalling and re-installing, and the install then failed complaining about insufficient rights to the Adobe directory under c:\ProgramData...
    The KB947821 Windows patch mentioned earlier in this thread is the "System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB947821) [May 2011]". Here's the description:
    This tool is being offered because an inconsistency was found in the Windows servicing store which may prevent the successful installation of future updates, service packs, and software.
    Installing it as I type...  OK... The Microsoft update complete successfully, but the Adobe Reader install failed again with the same error about c:\ProgramData\Adobe. I then re-applied the inheritable permissions from c:\programdata to the Adobe subdirectory and below...
    The Adobe Reader then Installed successfully, and I'm fairly optimisitic that future updates will go smoothly as well.
    Speaking of which, Adobe updates are too frequent and too visible. I get annoyed with how often Flash or Reader is getting some update or other... Ironically, I'm eager for another Reader Update now, to test this :-).
