Too many crashes, sadly I am forced to go back to Internet Explorer.

I used to like firefox but sadlly I am going back to explorer. After months of crashes, not resonding (always) and super slow page loads (not my ISP) explorer loads much faster. It appears Mozilla products are getting worse instead of better. I'm tired of waiting for them to fix these issues. Multiple updates, still no change.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Firefox 4 won't "respond" or crashes. What can I do to fix it? I've actually had to go back to internet explorer...

It doesn't matter what I'm trying to do, the pages won't load ("respond") or the program crashes. I can't even get the program to quit without going to task manager and forcing it to close. I've actually had to go back to using Internet Explorer, which has it's own problems, but at least it doesn't crash on me. Please help!!!

Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you go through ALL of those steps and you still have issues, you need to get your phone checked out by Apple.

Since installing 3.6.12, firefox crashes continuously...I have gone back to Windows Explorer because firefox does not run anymore. Upon any actioin in firefox, the screen goes white and freezes and I get an error message saying firefox has stopped working

just about any action in firefox will cause a "WHITE SCREEN" freeze up and then an error message stating that firefox has stopped working. This happens in EVERY sessioin of firefox.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Firefox keeps crashing and after sending error reort it briefly opens then crashes again. Any solution? Having to use Internet Explorer

Latest version of Firefox installed. When I try to open it it comes up with error table asking for areport to be sent to Firefox. This I have done over last 2 days but no response so far. When I try to restart it very briefly opens then clsose and error table comes up again. Cannot use so reverted to Internet Explorer

Please read [[firefox crashes]] <-- clickable link -- <br/> read the tips in that article, and try to obtain a crash ID. Also glance at some other possibly related questions such as [/questions/893296 ]

Firefox has crashed and burned. I've been using it forever. Now, it no longer works on my computer. I give up. I've had to go back to Internet Explorer. I can see your customer support is just as bad as everyone else's. Sooo GOOD BYE FIREFOX!

It started last night with you tube. Just a black box. Videos worked fine w/Internet Explorer. Now, nothing opens. Everything I try to click - doesn't open. It drags across all parts of the screen copying everything. It's frustrating. It's over. Firefox must be dead.

You can use the Tab key to select a search engine on the bottom bar and press Enter to use the search engine to do the search.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Search+bar
In the current Firefox 34 release there is a new "one-off" search bar.
This search bar doesn't show the name of the search engine and a logo.
You can type one letter to make a drop-down list appear where you can see suggestions and see the used search engine and that also has bar at the bottom where you can select other search engines that are enabled via the Search tab in Options/Preferences.
You can use the Tab key to select one of the other available search engines and press the Enter key to search with the selected search engine.
Click the search engine icon and click "Change Search Settings" to open the Search tab in Options/Preferences (positioned between Tabs and Content) to select the default search engine and select which search engines to show in the search bar drop-down list that opens when you start typing search terms.

Too many problems with flashplayer

I'm getting more and more frustrated with flashplayer. Ever since it it came out with the 11 versions I've had too many crash problems, graphics are jumpy and messy on fb games. I can't stand it! If I downgrade fp, then I can't play certain games as they require the most up to date player. I can't win! Whatever you guys had in the older versions needs to go back to that sort of programing. Whatever got added in simply messed up my crap. If I didn't have to rely on fp so much it would've been long gone by now. That's how angry I am at it.
If you want to know my OS, it's Windows Vista 32 bit. Browser used is Firefox.
P.S. And I did try all the method suggestions through support to see if things would run fine. It's not FF, I know that. I never had any problems with Flash until version 11's came out.

<i>Also I don't really think that I have to manually update these device, as the updates are running automatically on my laptop... Thanks </i>
Correct!! You're on Windows 7 so if that's an OEM machine (brand name like HP, Acer, etc) then your drivers should already be updated. Also, Windows Updates handles all of the drivers in their Optional Updates (afaik).
How is Flash doing? Is it still misbehaving or was it fixed after disabling hardware acceleration?

The expand on Youtube is not working with many Youtube sites and they work on Internet Explorer

On many of the sites on Youtube the expand does not work with Mozilla Firefox 4. I have gone to Internet Explorer and they work there. When I come back from Internet Explorer strange enough the expand on Firefox works. Obviously its picking up programming from Internet Explorer, unfortunately it does not last long. I've tried plug ins, reloading flash player after I deleted it and re-installed it, the problem still exist. Also on the expand screens that do work on the right side there is a very thin white line coming down the border. I'm not the only one with this problem. please help with this problem.

Indeed, this is a bug in HTTPS-everywhere which you can see here : https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4032

Firefox crashes when too many images are opened

Okay, so, a problem that appeared in 4.0 for me, and hasn't gone away ever since.
The problem is basically summarized in the short description - whenever too many heavy images are in the browser's tabs simultaneously, it slows down to a halt; then sometimes as I scroll it fails to redraw the page, with black non-redrawn area increasing as I scroll and disappearing as I change tabs back and forth.
After a dozen seconds of such sad behaviour, the browser crashes.
Sometimes, however, things go better. And it just crashes.
The problem can be easily replicated with Save Images extension, say, on any photo hosting, or by opening
http://danvolodar.livejournal.com/friends/big_picture
It should be noted that 3.6 never had that problem, and opened pages where I aggregated thousands of images, - slowly, of course, but it ''did'' work. 4 and 5 do ''not''.

Go to the address '''about:crashes''' and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.
Or you can go to '''Start''' and type in the Vista search box '''%APPDATA%''' then click on '''Roaming''' then go to '''Mozilla>Firefox>Crash Reports>Submitted''' then open the .txt files and copy the Crash report ID that starts with '''bp-xxxxx-xxxx'''

Too many open socket connections causing ColdFusion to crash?

I’m currently working on an e-commerce site which sends and receives information to/from the client’s order management system via XML over a TCP/IP socket. It uses a very old java-based custom tag called CFX_JSOCKET (which appears to have been written in 2002) to open the socket, send the data, and get the response. The code that calls the custom tag and sends/receives data from the OMS pre-dates my working on the site, but its always worked, so I haven’t paid it much attention.
Back in the summer of 2009 we started experiencing issues with ColdFusion (v.7 on Window 2003 at the time) locking up on a more and more frequent basis, until it ultimately became a daily issue. After extensive research we narrowed the issue down to the communication between the web server and our client’s order management server. It seemed the issue with ColdFusion hanging was either related to there being too many connections open, or to these connections hanging and resulting in dead threads. This an educated guess based on a blog post I’d seen online, not actual monitoring of either CF or the TCP/IP connections. As soon as we dialed back the timeout on the CFX_JSOCKET tag from 20 seconds to 10, the issue disappeared, so we left it at that and moved on.
Fast forward to this January. The site is hosted at a new location, on a 64-bit Windows 2008 box running ColdFusion 9. Over the years traffic on the site has continued to grow. The nature of the clients business means that August and January are their business times of the year (back to school for college kids) and in January ColdFusion once again started locking up on an almost-daily basis.
One significant difference is that the address cleansing software that previously ran on the box and was used to verify shipping addresses is not available for 64-bit, so when we moved to the new server last summer, that task was moved to the client’s order management software and handled via XML like all other interaction with that system. However, while most XML calls to that server (order input, inventory check, etc) take under a second to complete, the address cleansing call regularly takes over 5 seconds to return data, and frequently times out.
Once we eliminated the address cleansing call from the checkout process, ColdFusion once again stopped locking up regularly. So it appears that once again it’s the communication between the web server and the order management server that’s causing problems. We currently have that address cleansing call disabled on the web site in order to keep ColdFusion from crashing, but that’s not a long term solution.
We don’t have, nor can I find online, the source code for the CFX_JSOCKET custom tag, so I decided I’d write some CF code utilizing the java methods to open the socket, send the data, get the response, and close the connection. My test code is working fine (under no load). However, in trying to troubleshoot an issue I had with it, I started monitoring the TCP/IP connections using TCPView. And I noticed that all the connections to the order management server, whether opened via the custom tag or my new code, remain open in either a TIME_WAIT or FIN_WAIT2 status for well over 2 minutes, even though I know for a fact that my new code is definitely closing the connection from the web server side.
They do all close eventually, but I’m wondering 1. Why they’re remaining open that long; 2. Is that normal; and 3. If all these connections remaining open could be what’s causing ColdFusion to choke.
Does this sound plausible? If so, does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations about how to fix it? My research seems to indicate this might be a matter of the order management system not closing the connection on its end, but I’m in way over my head, and before I go to client and tell them it’s their OMS causing the issue, I need to feel a little more confident that I’m on the right track.
Any help or advice would be very greatly appreciated. And thanks for taking the time to read through my long-winded explanation of the problem.
Set-up details:
ColdFusion Version: 9,0,0,251028 Standard
Operating System: Windows Server 2008
Java Version: 1.6.0_14
Java VM Name: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM

Hi Laurie,
Not aware of custom tag called CFX_JSOCKET. I guess the process you described very well is consuming a resource then you are getting a problem. Trick is what parameter to adjust. Perhaps you are running out of one the threads in CFadmin > Server Settings > Request Tuning.
I expect if you enable CF Metrics logging where you can log the threads and other resources then you can find out which parameter needs adjusting. Let me know if you want some details on enabling CF Metrics. Perhaps others will have much better idea than me and help without the overhead of logging.
The other interesting thing is you are using CF9.0.0. Do you have some reasons for not being on updater1 CF9.0.1?
HTH, Carl.
PS I posted before however seems to have gone, just hope does not come back and then I have posted twice.

Logic 8.02 Crashes often. Too Many BUGS!! Unstable.

Hi,
There's too many problems with Logic 8.02. It's not stable and keeps crashing. I save often becos I expect it may crash unexpectedly whilst loading plugins.
The final straw for me was when I couldn't even save my session - as saving it actually caused a crash. ha! (what a joke).
In one hour, I've recorded logic crashing atleast 4 to 5 times. This is why I'm making this post. Apple needs to pick up there game and release software that doesn't crash 4 to 5 times. it's lame but I can't do anything about it but wait for apple to fix it. I do push the computer really hard though. For basic stuff, logic 8's stable, but when you add things like space designer followed by other cpu intensive processes that logic starts to crash unexpectedly.
How do we report bugs to apple? I found a few bugs that needs attention.
for example:
1. Opening a plugin in slot 13 renders it useless cos you can't bring up it's graphics interface when double clicking on it.
2. Can't copy an object's name and paste it to another object cos the function "command C" doesn't work after Click on the object with the logic's "text" pointer.
Run the a Mac Pro 8 x 2.8GHz on Mac OS 10.5.4 with large buffer settings.
Has anyone found other bugs? How do we let apple know?
Thanks.
Vaughn.
Frustrated with Logic 8.02

In one hour, I've recorded logic crashing atleast 4 to 5 times. This is why I'm making this post. Apple needs to pick up there game and release software that doesn't crash 4 to 5 times. it's lame but I can't do anything about it but wait for apple to fix it.
Vaughn man that s.ucks. You must be ready to throw your machine out the window. However, what you seem to be saying is that this is absolutely positively Logic's fault, and that this MUST BE the norm for Logic. This type of thinking isn't going to get you anywhere. Logic is NOT your only problem, or else we all would be having these problems too! If we all were experiencing what you are experiencing, these forums would have exploded and people would be having bonfires with their Logic boxes and buying Protools systems.
It's been a bumpy ride since Logic 8 and Leopard came out, but VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE are reporting VERY GOOD to FANTASTIC performance from Logic 8, using 8.0.2 and 10.5.3 or 10.5.4. This includes a lot of pro's working on very large projects. In fact, I've seen only a couple of posts reporting crashes since 10.5.3 came out. What you are experiencing is NOT normal.
If you want to use Logic, you have to figure out what's going on with YOUR system, because something is wrong with your set-up specifically.
Try trashing Logic's prefs and repairing disk permissions. If you're working on old projects made with previous versions, or old autoload projects, try starting with a fresh slate. There have been issues with old projects and autoloads. Try a big project with only Logic's internal plugs, as there have been some incompatibility issues with 3rd party plugs. Make sure you have all updates for those. Not saying that Logic will only work with it's own stuff, but there may be one plug that's causing all your problems, and you have to figure out what it is.
Try removing rewire plug ins, especially Melodyne.
If all else fails, reinstall Leopard and Logic. A huge pain, but not as much so as making yourself crazy waiting for the solution to come from the outside.
Good Luck!

Firefox crashes when too many (3) tabs/windows open

Firefox crashes if too many tabs (3) are opened, if 2 browser windows are open, in Yahoo mail (deleting npYState.dll did not fix it) and does not give me a crash report. Internet explorer is not having problems like this.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After downloading 3.6.6

Go to the address '''about:crashes''' and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.
Or you can go to '''Start''' and type in the Vista search box '''%APPDATA%''' then click on '''Roaming''' then go to '''Mozilla>Firefox>Crash Reports>Submitted''' then open the .txt files and copy the Crash report ID that starts with '''bp-xxxxx-xxxx'''

Note 368612.1 - DB Control Agent Crash : Too many files

Hi
I have a 2 node RAC
The RAC DB Control agent crash after about 4 hours of running.
Base on my check in Metalink I identified it as a bug (See note 368612.1)
The agents will open the hc_<inst>.dat file hundreds of times with new file handles before it crashes.
I cannot stop the database for patch installation.
But I propose to run a cronjob that starts the agent and stops it after maybe 1 hour.
This stop / start cronjob will maybe run once every few hours.
This will prevent the agent from opening too many files and crash.
What do you guys think of this ?

Um, have you tried the fix in the note you provided?!?!?

Too many crashes, sadly I am forced to go back to Internet Explorer.
