Update to 37.0.01 causes firefox to crash on Windows XP (SP3)

I'm not sure why I'm asking since I'm replacing my last Windows XP PC by Monday, but...Update to 37.0.1 will not run on my old Windows XP PC except in safe mode. All plugins updated and no extension says it incompatible.

It's possible that hardware acceleration is causing a problem (since Firefox works in start mode but not in regular mode).
Try starting up in safe mode and disabling it. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL#w_turning-off-hardware-acceleration|Turning off hardware acceleration]]

Google Reader comments cause Firefox to crash.

Clicking the link to add a comment to a Google Reader entry causes Firefox to crash unexpectedly. I've only had this problem since the 3.6.12 update. So far as I can tell, I don't have any problematic add-ons, and my browser is up to date.

This can be problem with one of the fonts that is used on that page and that is corrupted.
You can use the System File Checker to check if font files are missing or corrupted.

Opening website "this american life" in firefox 4.0.1 causes firefox to crash, but the same site opens and streams radio shows just fine in IE. Suggestions?

I am trying to stream radio shows through the website for This American Life. As soon as I open the site and click on a link, I get the message about an unresponsive script. The next click to tell it to continue or ignore causes Firefox to crash -- the fade to white/not responding thing. The same site runs just fine on IE.

Firefox gui element capture plug in keeps causing Firefox to crash and it won't open certain windows. Any idea why?

I disabled extensions per Firefox instructions and discovered that 'firefox gui element capture plug in 1.0' is the one causing my problems. Problems being Firefox either crashes or refuses to open an additional window, and then crashes.

I am not sure why this started happening, however please update to version 32.0.3 when its available.
The places we can troubleshoot is in the Applications menu under preferences.
*[[Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
If you set it to pdf.js viewer as default does it not show up?

Is Java 10.15.2.3 causing Firefox to crash?

Firefox keeps crashing when trying to open a Java applet. We have uninstalled and re-installed Java, tried older versions of java, uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, tried older version of Firefox, updated plug-ins, enables and disabled different plug-ins, and tried every other troubleshooting suggestion we could find, but we have yet to be able to open a Java applet without Firefox crashing. This problem is only with Firefox, it does not happen with Chrome or IE.

What else can i try?

Have you checked you addons?
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Adobe Flash XI repeatedly causes Firefox to crash

I'm running Firefox 20.0.1 on Windows 7. Flash XI frequently, but not always or consistently, causes a particular website to crash and sometimes causes Firefox to stop responding. Sometimes when Firefox stops responding I have to use the Task Manager to shut it down; other times it starts responding after a few seconds. The website is an important one I visit daily so there may be others I'm not aware of. The problem began two or three months ago (I always install updates). I can't force t to happen. When it happens I can get one of two prompts: "A script on this page... or A movie on this page... is causing Flash to run showly" followed by the options of waiting or stopping the script. Any suggestions?

Install Flash Player in Safe Mode.
Shut down the computer.
Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup,but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen. Startup will take longer than usual.
Login to your account. Launch Safari.
Enter this address in the Safari address bar manually. Click Enter.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Follow the prompts. Install Flash Player.
Once done, quit Safari and restart the computer from  in the menu bar.

Shockwave flash causes firefox 4 crash

shockwave flash causes firefox 4 hangs. it happens whether using the latest or the previous version of flash. removing flash solves the problem but removing flash is not a solution. this happens on a computer with Windows 7. However on another computer with XP this does not happen.

#Download a copy of Flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and save it to your desktop.
#Then download the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Flash Uninstaller]
#Close Firefox via File | Exit
#Run the uninstaller to remove Flash from Firefox. It will also remove it from IE.
#Reboot
#Run the Flash installer you downloaded to your desktop earlier (do not start Firefox). This will install it on Firefox only.
#Open IE and go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and choose Run when you see the prompt.
#Test the installation in both Firefox and IE by going to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

HTML5 media such as HTML5-enabled YouTube and the Ingress Intel page causes Firefox to crash my nVidia driver.

I've began to notice that HTML5 media causes strange issues with my graphics drivers. Watching HTML5 videos on YouTube or browsing the Ingress Intel page causes Firefox to lock up after a period of a few minutes, though I can still hear audio and use keybindings, I'm not able to move my mouse onto the desktop that Firefox is currently on (I use two monitors). I'm forced to reboot my PC to resolve the error.
This appears in the event viewer when the issue occurs.
"The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
\Device\Video5
!06d7(2640)"
I've tried resetting Firefox, reinstalling video drivers, etc. It only happens with HTML5, not Flash.

Yep, that fixed it.

Latest Google Maps Causes Firefox to Crash 100% of the time.

Here is the crash report. This always happens. Please help provide assistance.

I produced some steps that got FireFox to crash again at Google Maps. This had a different error, below.
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/20963f7a-2973-478f-a85c-8bec82140326
Looking at this one, it said that it was fixed by a known bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=943511
That bug says that it is resolved in version 29. I was running version 27. I manually checked for updates (for some reason it did not prompt me?), downloaded and installed version 28. Version 29 is not available. Version 28 crashed at Google Maps as well, though it took a little longer. Version 28's crash is available here:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/79ded35b-301d-4129-8ff6-c73352140326
Completely different error.
I could not get it to crash in safe mode. It slowed down to a snails pace, like it often does right before it crashes, but it stayed up. I rebooted to full mode, updated some plugins and disabled others. Restarted, and went back into Google Maps. It did a lot better than it did earlier in the day, but it did eventually crash. The error is below.
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/57a88a26-ae9d-4508-9d33-ae6bd2140326
Yet another crash, but all of these happen when I go to Google Maps. I'd love to get support, but I don't think I'll be spending any more hours on this. I'll either stop using Google Maps or stop using Firefox if this doesn't go away very soon.

Shockwave flash causes Firefox to crash

My Firefox crashes when trying to open 75% of web pages. I get the windows standard "Firefox is not responding" window after it freezes while trying to load the page.
I have singled out the problem to be the Shockwave Flash (11.5.502.149) plugin as everything works correctly with this disabled.
I have tried updated flash, uninstalling and re-installing it and the same with FF but nothing seems to work so far.

Ok, ever since I installed Firefox 20, I continually get "Shockwave plug in is not responding". And, yes I've tried everything that has been suggested. Now what?

What is it about Safeeyes internet filter that is causing Firefox to crash whenever I try to open it?

I recently got the Safeeyes internet filter for my PC. I have windows XP. Now, whenever I try to open Firefox, it crashes. Is there any way I can use the filter with Firefox? I uninstalled the filter and now Firefox is working.

I talked to several techs at Safe Eyes and they couldn't help me. Said their programmers were working on it. I uninstalled Safe Eyes yesterday and can now use Firefox some, but it is still crashing--just not as much.
My crash signature: mozalloc_abort(char const* const) | NS_DebugBreak_P | Initialize()

Latest Flash plugin causes firefox to crash when printing

Firefox will crash anytime I attempt to print a webpage. It doesn't happen in safemode. Disabling the Adobe Flash Plugin removes the problem. The Flash Plugin is the current version from adobe.

Tylerdowner,
Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. No change. The only thing that seems to consistently resolve the problem is disabling the Flash plugin.
I tried creating a new profile, but when I transfer the data suggested in this:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
I get an error window when opening firefox with the new profile ...something about security settings not working correctly...but I can print every time even though the Flash plugin appears to be installed and enabled. So I assume there is some kind of problem with my current profile. Any suggestions on how to find and correct it or a way to get most of my data into a new profile...that works...would be appreciated.

Addons Manager and Zynga causes firefox to crash

Whenever I go to addons Manager in version 33.1.1, Firefox crashes. I have tried repeatedly to access my addons with no success. This has been going on for at least a week now. This is also occuring with Zyngagames.com. It tells me flash keeps crashing, but I have tried to reload flash, reload firefox, etc. and nothing is working at all. Any answers? Guess I will have to use Google for awhile until you guys fix this.
