Why does Firefox 4 for mac crash when attempting to manage add-ons?

Downloaded firefox 4 for mac yesterday. Working fine until I started adding add-ons/extensions. Since then, any attempt to manage add-ons or extensions crashes Firefox and requires a force quit.
Help?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar to do a compatibility check.

Why does Firefox for Android crash when I try to play any media or plugin content?

I have had this device ASUS MEMO Pad for 6 months and Firefox for Android has never been able to play any media or plugin content without crashing. I have tried playing flash with the appropriate flash plugin installed and without and it crashes every time (it should not crash even without the plugin - it should handle it).
Even HTML5 video and mp3 audio will cause a crash every time (with tap to play enabled or disabled).

Why does the preferences-app crash when I try to add a CalDAV-account?

Hey all,
I recently set up a calendarserver on my debian-machine. After that, I set up my account in iCal on my MacBook. Everything works, so my server does.
Now, if I try to add a CalDAV-account on my iPhone (preferences-app -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Add account -> Other -> Add CalDAV-Account) the preferences-app crashes and nothing was added.
Any suggestions how to solve this issue?
My iPhone 3GS runs with iOS version 4.3.3 (8J2).

Any suggestions on this issue?

Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves?

Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves? Once it renders the page it should forget about the page. Why does it behave when some link is clicked when there is no internet? It should just say internet not available or some crap. Why die, sulk, crash?? I don't get it! 3 series was much much much better!

I should add, I've re-downloaded Firefox, but that doesn't look like it has helped any. Still get seemingly inexplicable crashes.

Why does Firefox continue to crash?

Can someone please suggest why Firefox continues to crash when attempting to download a file. It happens every time, without fail.
* I have deleted the downloads.sqlite file (more than once) to no effect.
* I have disabled AVG firewall etc - to no effect.
* Firefox originally crashed on the latest version, so I downgraded to v5.0.1 - to no effect. I have checked using AVG and an online virus/spyware checker and can find no infection.
* I have submitted 17 crash reports since 29 September, but when I right click on any of them, and try to open in a new tab, I receive the following messge: “We couldn't find the OOID you're after. If you recently submitted this crash, it may still be in the queue.”
My OS is Vista Business 32 bit. Thank you for any help & advice.

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

Check for an update. Also if you're on 3G, try to doing it over WiFi to see if it works better because sometimes the network just can't handle it so the app crashes to protect itself.

Why does App Store always crash when I try to open the appliction?

Why does App Store always crash when I try to open the appliction?

You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

Thanks for your reply. Any suggestions for ways to fix this? If I've already updated using my phone, am I just screwed?

Why does Firefox for android spring open when I clear notifications or open files?

Motorola Moto G
Latest Firefox for android
Android KitKat
Why does Firefox spring open, even after I quit, because I have cleared notifications or opened a file I downloaded. I have double checked Firefox is NOT set to open images or videos automatically, es

ES File Manager is my default player for almost all media. Firefox is not set to default.
Here is a step by step.
I see a picture I like so I download it. Firefox has now sent me a notification that the download is complete. After eventually closing the browser, I then clear notifications. Upon doing so, Firefox opens, regardless of whether it was running in the background or truly closed.
Thanks

Why is Firefox for Mac stalling on many sites recently?

In the last couple of days, my Firefox for Mac (37.0.2) has been stalling on many sites, with the spinning wheel icon just rotating endlessly to show unsuccessful processing. This hanging action occurs on several sites where I'm going into inside pages, a problem I almost never have but now is frequent. Is this some kind of temporary or known issue? I don't want to have to go through Refresh, especially since i noticed someone else commented that it didn't resolve a similar issue. But something is definitely wrong, and is making use of Firefox extremely frustrating if not pointless.

There's a known problem that affects some Acer Liquid phones, but I'm not sure if it affects the Liquid E. We are still investigating it and do not have a solution yet. For details, see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606194

Why does Firefox freeze my computer when I click on an email address or link to a page that asks for contact information?

when i click on an email link, my computer freezes and firefox will open new tabs until i force quit the application. i downloaded the latest version of firefox for a mac, but it did not help. how do i correct this problem?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/3.6.14
When I click on a mailto: link, Firefox freezes. This is new for me as of 3.6.14 (not sure if it existed in prior versions because I hadn't clicked a mailto: in a while).

Encore For Mac Crashing When Project Size actually becomes Larger then the Setup

I've been an Encore user for years on the PC and have recently started using CS4 on the Mac. I have been having some issues with Encore crashing, and I think I have narrowed it down to the following.
I encode all of my M2V files for Standard DVD outside of Encore using Episode. Encore seems to work just fine for me usually until I get toward the end of the project, then it will crash. The funny thing is, if it crashes once and I'm able to bring the project back up into Encore, I can build a disk image to my hard drive and then simply use Toast to make all of my copies to DVD. I may not ever be able to bring that project back into Encore to re-edit, but the DVD that I burn from the disk image works just fine.
I believe Encore is crashing once I import assets as a timeline (I usually import my assets directly to a new timeline) which end up being close to or exceeding the disk size of the project settings, which is always standard DVD. If I import the asset first before creating a timeline with it and actually add it to the project, it does't crash. But, once I add the content to the project by making a timeline out of it and apparently if it exceeds the size of the standard DVD, Encore will then crash. Does this make sense? Why would it crash, it didn't work that way in Encore on the PC, if I had more content then would fit onto a DVD it simply told me that when I checked the build before building it. This is crazy!
Thanks!

Hi Jeff, thanks.
Yes, I have done this. I thought I explained that in my post. Okay, well I guess I need to officially report this to Adobe, you would think they already knew it, unless it's an isolated case to my machine, which it could be, that's what I'm trying to find out if anyone can replicate the problem. I Suppose Windows users aren't experiencing this problem, or maybe just don't realize the problem exist.
I might add, I first discovered this problem when went to encode motion buttons which is usually my last step before building the project. If the encode turns the project into one that exceeded the expected project disk capacity, it will usually crash the application, but sometimes I can go ahead and write a disk image before exiting, but I can never open the project again after that. If I didn't have a backup, all of the time spent on that project is wasted, and the project files becomes corrupt and will not open.
One last note of interest. I did a test project where I identified the project as a double sided DVD thinking it would be a good workaround if id didn't crash once I imported more than 4.7 GB of data into active timelines. But that didn't work. Now I can of course import as many M2V compliant source clips as I want to and it doesn't crash Encore, but as I convert an asset one at a time into a timeline, *** soon as it exceeds the project disk size, Encore crashes. Thankfully, I can still open the project, but the project from then on out seems to be very touch and go and Encore then want to crash by simply double clicking too fast or whatever! Not sure is this later problem is actually related to my initial problem or not.
Thanks for your feedback.

Firefox on mac crashes when i reply or start new message in hotmail

hi,
whenever i start a new email or reply in hotmail., firefox crashes. i use a macbook 13'' but im not sure what the issue is, as it has only started 2 days ago.
i cleared all the cookies and cache history etc, and even uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, but it didnt help.
it is happening with all my hotmail accounts, not just one in particular.
the error message that appears is:
"the application firefox quit unexpectedly.
max osx and other applications are not affected.
click relaunch to launch the application again. click report to see more details or send a report to apple."
firefox crashes when i start a new email or attempt to reply on my macbook, but when i use my other laptop (pc), it is fine. It only started happening the other day (and i dont recall doing anything different to what i usually do before sending an email, so i dont know what has caused it). unfortunately i dont have access to another macbook to see if it is a compatibility issue with macs.
cheers.
