Since Firefox 9.0.1 was installed, Firefox is crashing nearly everytime I try to visit a website, please can you help me ? Thanks

If I try to read my email, it crashes 2 or 3 times before it works. The same with nearly every other website that is required to 'load' up. It never did before Firefox 9.0.1 was installed. I have try un-installing and re-installing, but it is still the same problem. I have checked for malware, spyware and viruses and there are none. It's getting really annoying as I can also be typing an email for example, and it crashes and I have to start again. My computer runs on Vista. Please can you advise me. Thanks. (I'm not too technical minded).

Thank you for your suggestions. I have un-installed the Trusteer Rapport program and so far, so good. No problems with crashing and everything is working so much quicker now. I suppose my computer may be less protected without the Rapport program, but I will run my AVG and Malware programs once per week now and keep them updated. I had no problems when I didn't have the Rapport up to the time when I first installed it. I'm meaning problems with security rather than a slow browser.

    Hey!
      Glad to hear that you and your family made it through relatively unscathed!  I think we all need to take better care of our wonderful planet, because I think we are upsetting Mother Nature! 
      I have the Windows Installer Clean-Up screen up and tried to upload a screen cap for you, but IE immediately shuts down every time I try.  So I'll have to transcribe the screen for you:
      I see the following:
    (All Users)
    (All Users) [1.2.0.10]
      Those are the top two lines.  The following lines after that are programs he has installed on the machine like Acrobat, Adobe, Autodesk Inventor, and such and they all have a name and program number in brackets.
      And I now again have the obligatory Apple programs installed and listed again:
    (All Users) Apple Application Support [1.5.1]
    (All Users) Apple Mobile Device Support [3.4.0.25]
    (All Users) Apple Software Update [2.1.2.120]
    (All Users) Bonjour [2.0.5.0]
      Please note that iTunes is NOT LISTED.
      Everything else 'appears' to be normal, I'd say.
    Take care, and I'll see you on the flipside!  According to my clock, it's 4:11am Thursday morning there!
    See ya!

    Did you use TimeMachine to restore your files?
    Did you install the app or restore?
    Makes a lot of difference to specify just how you swapped out and what you did.
    Are you running Mountain Lion or older?

    Please can you help....
    I ordered an iPhone 5s in early September from the orange shop in Chamonix Mont-Blanc France.
    I needed a new phone as i dropped my iPhone and broke it so it thought i would upgrade.
    I was asked in the shop if I wanted a black or white one, I asked for a Black one, as all my iPhones have all been Black as I DON'T LIKE White ones. (sorry)
    I was told my phone would arrive in a week so I waited with broken phone for new one. The following week I was told it would be the following week, the following week i was told the same but the assistant in the shop told me they would ring me when it arrived. Three days later i recieved a text from the shop to say the phone would be in tomorrow, when I went in they said it had not arrived and they would call me when it was in the shop.
    They called me on Thursday the 17th of October to say the phone was in the shop.
    I arrived at the shop at 6:00pm after my work, the shop closes at 7:00pm. I recieved the phone, signed for it and extra unwanted insurance with I was told I could only canceled in a month. I was then told they didn't have any sim cards in the shop, i said no problem the Phone i assume will need charging so i will take it home and charge it and return for the sim tomorrow.
    So the Phone remained boxed.
    When I returned home and opened the box I realised it was a white one, I replaced the lid put it back in the bag, and returned it to the shop first thing Friday 18th October, to point out the error, only to be told "to bad" ?? I was told I could have changed it the night before but not this morning? They said I had ordered a Black one but as I had signed for a White one nothing can be done. I was angry and left the shop. I returned later the same day with a French friend to try and resolve this problem, as I wasn't sure if something was being lost in translation. I didn't think I was being unreasonable, it is a very expensive piece of equipment and this wasn't what i wanted. They told my friend that the phone was not available in Black, that was the 5, and that the 5s was only available in silver and gold, and that mine was a silver one.
    I then thought it was my mistake as it was a new phone. She put a sim in the phone put it in the box and I left for a business meeting only to arrive and see a Black iPhone 5s sitting on the table??
    So I then returned back to the shop with the Black one and mine still all boxed and untouched to prove they had blatantly lied to me an hour ago, only to be told that there was nothing they were prepared to do.
    Is this fair practice ? I am at a loss with this and am looking for help ?

    A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":
    "iPhone 5s — Available in silver, gold, and space gray" (Source)

    Ask the carrier in the US who the phone is locked to if they will unlock it for you - put an unlock request into that carrier.
    Other than that and if they refuse to unlock it, then there is nothing you can do except buy a new phone.

  • Tring to download Firefox 5.0.1 but it keeps saying can't load because of sufficient privileges for some of the items. What does this mean and can you help? Thanks! Greg

    When I open my gmail account in firefox it tells me I need to download the new firefox 5.0.1 so I do. After download it tells me to move icon to applications folder, so I do. Then it ask about replacing my old and I say yes. Then it tells me it can't because of sufficient privileges for some of my items. Can you help?

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

    revert back to Maverick that is what I had to finally do. This was the worst upgrade I have ever seen. Hopefully you have Time Machine backup and can revert back. It was pretty painless except for a few issues. I will wait until Apple gets their stuff together on this upgrade or may never will.

  • Since my last windows update, whenever I open firefox I get an error message saying BAD IMAGE on the file C:\windows\system32\WRusr.dll. Can you help me?

    The message I get is the following:
    "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WRusr.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contain an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your administrator or the software vendor for support."
    I can't open Mozilla firefox anymore. I have tried reinstalling 3 times already.

    hello, the file you have referenced appears to be part of Webroot SecureAnywhere - try to remove that software in case you have it installed on your system.

  • When i try to open email (thunderbird) this is what I get: Error platform version is not compatible with minVersion =1.9.2.15 maxVersion =1.9.2.15 I understand this is a firefox issue. can you help? thanks, Jane

    i have also tried to uninstall firefox to no avail
    when i try to download 3.6.15 it works to 100% then is searching for viruses and there it stops.
    i can get on the internet with firefox... but can't get to my email using thunderbird... but i was told the problem is a firefox issue.
    yikes. i'm in over my head.

    I had already tried a reinstall before, but thanks for the suggestion. Starting FF in Safe mode did not help either.
    XULRunner is specific to FF. Mostly found discussion about using the code in web pages when I used Google before posting.
    When FF went from version 3.6.14 to version 3.6.15 this issue started. Please note the Error message and the version info I just mentioned.
    '''"Platform version '1.9.2.15' is not compatible with minVersion > =1.9.2.14 maxVersion < = 1.9.2.14"'''
    '''The Platform was revved up from 1.9.2.14 to1.9.2.15'''
    I could not find information on: minVersion or maxVersion much less how to change them in XULRunner.
    '''''It is definitely a Mozilla FF issue'''''.
    Avast sandbox is up to date and works just fine with everything else. More importantly it worked just before the update was installed.
    The only reason I bothered with the update is because Mozilla touted it as a security issue and there was NO mention of any known issues with sandbox software.

  • Since updating to firefox 9.0.1, every time I open up the browser, it opens to the "Hooray your firefox is up to date" page and then opens up my home page as a second window. Can you help?

    I just can't get the browser to open up to just my home page when I click on it. It '''always''' opens the firefox browser page http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/whatsnew and then proceeds to open up to my home page in a second window.

  • When I open an email with images, Outlook Express keeps defaulting to Internet Explorer rather than FireFox to get the image, since I have IE disabled this means that I see no image. I have FF set as my default browser. Please can you help?

    I first noticed the problem 3 months ago when a virus set a proxy on Internet Explorer. Removal of the proxy brought the image back, but this showed that Outlook Express uses IE to get images even when FF is set as default browser

    I might be able to experiment with this a little.
    Are you running a recent version of Outlook Web App (i.e., Exchange 2010)?
    When you save files using IE, what format are they in (e.g., EML, RTF, HTML)?
