[SOLVED] Firefox 26 Crashing - Assertion Failure

Hi all. Since the upgrade to Firefox 26, I've been experiencing lots of crashes. I am currently on 26.0-2, but the issue was also prevalent on 26.0-1. Basically, after starting Firefox, it crashes with no warning, usually either within the first 10 seconds or a few minutes later.
I've tried starting Firefox from a terminal to see any errors and strangely enough, when I do that the crashes are much less frequent (the problem almost disappears and FF can last several hours). I eventually caught a crash in the terminal and it says the following.
(firefox:12326): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_get_for_display: assertion '!display->closed' failed
This problem exists for me with both regular Firefox from the Arch extra repo and Nightly from the AUR.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks!

Yep, I noticed the same thing...
And this seems to be a recurring theme for me with Arch. Tomboy launched from the menu results in an unresponsive tray icon. Launched from a terminal? Works perfectly fine! The same was happening for the game Hammerwatch - worked fine if launched directly in a terminal, or if Steam was launched from a terminal, but if I launch Steam from the menu, the game crashes (unless I add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/lib/mono %command% into the game's launch options...). I do not know what is going on, but it's really got me wondering about my future with Arch. And that sucks, because I've loved the month or two I've spent with the distro so far, other than these *really* annoying issues. I have searched and searched for several weeks, and come up with no solutions so far. The worst part is, other Arch users say things run fine for them (Hammerwatch players using Arch, posting on the Steam forums, for example). Very frustrating.

How to solve firefox crashing and continuous "unresponsive script" messages?

I've had this issue for a couple days now. When in firefox and having multiple tabs open, the tab that I am on will freeze and an "unresponsive script" message will come up. When I only have one tab open, the browser will shut down completely without any message. I have already tried disabling all of my plugins, allowing the script to run longer, restarting firefox, and even uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. None of these seem to work for me. Does this mean I have a virus? Are there any other things I can try or should I have this looked at?

Try this for your mac computer:
Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
#'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
#Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

I would run memtest86 on your system and make sure its not your RAM.
what are you using environment KDE or awesome?
and I don't know what means about HW? can you explain it ? hardware?
In my case I am using lxde, but if its HW (Hardware) I really don't think the DE matters. Its easy to test.
UPDATE: my previous crashes are 100% fixed now since replacing the RAM.
you're right, the problem is RAM, I also replaced the RAM and reinstalled arch, now everything is OK.
thank you~

[solved] firefox crashing

Can someone try "ispreview" from firefox please? As soon as I get to this page it terminates instantly - no attempt to display
[paul@night ~]$ firefox http://www.ispreview.co.uk
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 104 error_code 8 request_code 144 minor_code 3)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
edit: site was ok yesterday, could today's openssl-0.9.7f-1 be suspect?

Looks OK now
I was mucking about with translucency in KDE control centre - it wasn't working so I disabled it.
I then remembered I had left in the changes to xorg.conf
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
removing this got me back to ISPreview. I think it may be flash-related as Konqueror asked me what to do about the swf file, whereas firefox has the plugin.

Firefox crashes as soon as Flash video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure"

I am unable to use Youtube or view Flash video on any sites.
Firefox crashes/quits as soon as a video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure".
I have uninstalled Flash, downloaded a fresh version and installed, but no joy.
I am using OS X 10.6.6.
This is what I have tried so far;
1. Repaired Permissions.
2. Restarted with external drive and run Disk repair.
3. Restarted with external drive and run DiskWarrior.
4. Completely uninstalled Flash plugin. Robooted. Reinstalled Flash plugin. Rebooted.
5. I even installed an earlier version of the plugin to see if there was some incompatibility with the latest version.
6. Created a new user login and tried from there. Same problem.
Any ideas?

You have what is necessary for Flash Player to be working. Firefox had some issues last year but it was after loading a video or the website. I had not heard of it lately and even last year don't recall it happening on the Macs.
What is happening with yours sounds like a direct conflict with some addon/extension.
Here is the link from Firefox describing what happened last year. You might want to see if there is anything more current.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The%20Adobe%20Flash%20plugin%20has%20crashed?s=Firefo x+crashing+browser&as=s
I'll get the Mac troubleshooting guide in a minute and post it also.
Any adblock or popup blocker software would cause this also.
Thanks,

Firefox crashing when i wanna open or close a tab or a window, also while wanna open any page, now what to do for solving the problem?

Disable McAfee siteadvisor and check the problem still persist or not?

My Firefox crashes every time I open it and none of the steps in the database solve the problem. My crash signature is PaintFrame(nsIRenderingContext*, nsIFrame*, nsRegion const&, unsigned int, unsigned int)

I tried opening it in safe mode and none of the other help tips in the database on firefox crashes when I open it apply to me. I also ran a couple of virus programs to check for any infections and found nothing. I had been having issues with java previous to firefox beginning to crash. So I attempted to uninstall java from my computer but it did not help.
My crash signature is PaintFrame(nsIRenderingContext*, nsIFrame*, nsRegion const&, unsigned int, unsigned int) and a search of this term on Mozilla Support pulled up no results.
I'm not terribly knowledgeable with programming so any suggestions would help!

I read online about a "clean reinstall" of firefox which seems to have worked! They should include direction on this on their page: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes+when+you+open+it

[solved] What's the way to diagnose Firefox crash?

I was checking out some posts at a web site Core77 1, 2.

Firefox crashes with NVidia 331.20 (Linux 64bit)

As the title says, Firefox crashes immediately upon opening when using NVidia's latest stable drivers (331.20). The last stable driver that Firefox works with is 319.60. This issue only afflicts Firefox. All other HW accelerated programs I've tried work. Anybody have any ideas on a solution?

Thank you for your replies everyone.
mats_b_tegner's reply sort of solved the issue. I'm going to try to patch and compile Firefox as the current NVidia drivers provide needed functionality. Hopefully the devs will see fit to include the patch in future releases.

Firefox crashes every time I open it, within seconds, so I can't fix anything in the toolbars (if that's where the problem is).

Every time I open Firefox, even in Safe Mode, it crashes within 5 seconds. It's not enough time to make changes in the toolbars at top. The page says "Well, this is embarrassing..." and when it crashes it takes me to Mozilla Crash Reporter. I opened Fontbook, eliminated bad fonts, and that didn't help. I'm working on a Mac OS X 10.8.4 and Chrome works fine. There don't appear to be any malware problems. I've looked through all the help forums and none of them have contained suggestions that solve my problem.

Hello SEHW, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
#Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
#Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

Hi Max,
Congratulations, at least you made a stab at solving the problem. I think a lot of users used to glance at that KB article ([[firefox crashes]]) and give up trying!
Hopefully the crash instructions will be further modified soon, (some of us consider the following is an [/kb/Firefox%20crashes/discuss/1855 omission] that needs correcting) have a look at this article for an explanation of how to get the crash ID from your OS even without using firefox:

separate installation of firefox for each account, but normally you have the one set of (most) program files, and then for firefox separate [[profiles]]. So this indicates the problem is likely to be in the profile of the problem account, or down to a plugin, malware or other issue relating to that account. <br/>(I note you have already scanned for malware with MSE, that should detect a particular trojan that is a top cause of firefox 6 crashes)
If you create a new clean profile in that account hopefully it will solve the crash problem, you can then address the issue of copying settings, bookmarks. passwords etc back. BUT before attempting that ensure that you disable all plugins, ([[safe mode]] does not disable plugins) if you have not already done so. Some plugins may not show up in Firefox's list, you may need to look at the OS program lists.
I note you mention banking, a particular utility ''IDvault'' (I think Comcast supply it) has been causing crashes. Are you using IDvault ? <br/> (IDvault should be fixed soon bug684748; version 1.0.627 may have been fixed, but standalone version 5.9.627 has not yet been fixed )

ESET NOD 32 cannot scan past this point. I keep getting stuck at 56% at the following; C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\ Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending. Is this a problem with NOD32 or with Firefox? Thank you.

I ran into a glitch on my system that I tried to fix myself. My NOD32 was always showing the yellow warning circle as my protection status when I started my computer. I tried to fix this every way I new how.
Then I started to get pop ups asking me to fix and then send system error reports to Windows. Some stating they were '''''critical.''''' So I sent NOD32 the e-mail below.
'''Me:''' I cannot seem to run a complete system scan. I keep getting stuck at 56% at the following point. C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\
Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending
I also keep getting messages to send error reports to Microsoft constantly. I also have this code C:\pagefile.sys-error opening
Thank you for your assistance.
'''Their solution:'''
Based on the information you provided, we recommend that you upgrade to latest version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and see if this makes a difference.
Please click or copy/paste the following ESET Knowledgebase article into your web browser for step-by-step instructions:
'''Me''' : I did as they requested and am fully upgraded and licensed with their new edition.
Ran a new scan same problem.
I sent them a new e-mail but now wonder if it is a Firefox issue as, C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\
''Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending'' this is where the scan stalls.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Try delete the files in Pending folder and make the scan again, do not be afraid to delete the files see : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/679996
thank you

Firefox crashes EVERY TIME i open it. Help please!!!

All of a sudden, my firefox crashed on me, and every time I try to re-open it, it keeps on crashing.
I tried everything on here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes%20when%20you%20open%20it#w_not-running-the-latest-version-of-firefox
It doesn't load on safe mode.
I don't know what to do. Please help...

Alice... I was not seeking an answer, as this was the solution that was causing mine to crash after updating firefox and flash. After much frustration, this solved it for me. I posted in all the forums where others were having a crash, as it may be the same problem and they seem to be related to what I was having. It was posted in the hopes it would solve their problem. All they can do is try it..... Then the group at Mozilla.org can work out why Firefox with the latest flash needs admin rights or not. I also have zone alarm set pretty high on security... so it could be that it does need to be run as admin... it is worth a try...

Firefox crashing when loading certain websites

Hi All,
After updating my firefox to the latest version (3.6.12), the browser frequently crashes on cerain websites. In particular, when i visit www.scottishproperty.co.uk. I think it may be flash related but im not sure.
I have tried the following but it has not solved the issue:
1. Followed the artice on this site for firefox crashing on certain pages
2. Uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it
3. sent error reports to firefox - but when i go to About:crashes no reports are show.
Can anyone please advise?
When i try the same url in IE, it works as normal.

If you still have problems with crashes please
# read the article: [[firefox crashes]]
# if you have problems with crashes and are using Fireox's safe mode
#* please navigate to'' about:crashes''
#* post a couple of recent CrashIDs into your next message
Are you restricted to using Firefox in [[safe mode]] in order to prevent crashes?
