Why does firefox 7 crashes the system if Quadro NVS 135M graphics driver is installed?

Why does firefox 7 crashes the system with a Quadro NVS 135M graphics cards installed?
It happens immediately after opening Firefox on a two screen system. You get a message saying the Graphics Driver stopped responding, but that it managed to recover, but after a while the system freezes completely. You can't even CTRL+ALT+DEL.

I get this too on with my nVidia GTX460 card. In my case the screen goes black. It happens once every few days, and for a while I could not figure out why. I was forcing a shutdown to get the screen back.
But I put the computer to sleep and woke it up, since that restarts the video, and this let me see what was wrong. The only error message is it reports that Firefox hung. There is nothing else in the Event logs.
I'm running Windows 7 with all the updates from Windows Update, and my video driver is 285.62, but his also happened with the 260.26 driver.
I imagine this is happening a lot, but people aren't able to isolate the cause.
I'm looking for a fix, not a bypass.

ANYONE WITH NORTON SOFTWARE
Someone has already mentioned Norton in this thread. Please note there is a known issue with some Norton software sometimes implicated in Firefox 24 crashes. Norton themselves are asking for more information.
* Please see https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-24-still-crashes-when-the-NIS-toolbar-is-enabled/td-p/1023987
* Note Norton forum has Mixed content, you will need to disable Firefox protection when a shield appears in the location bar or you will not see the correct forum navigation. I am sure Norton are aware of this.

Why does Firefox remove the URL from the query string?

Hello there,
I've writing a servlet to read data from a file stored on a server. I'm using an HTTP <INPUT TYPE=file > element to locate the file to be read. When I run the servlet using IE as the browser it works fine. When I try running it using Firefox, the path to the file is not included in the query string. The full URL to the file shows up in the file input text field but then mysteriously disappears from the query string. Without the path, the servlet can't locate the file and the servlet fails. How do I get Firefox to include the path in the query string or is there some other workaround for this problem. I want my servlet to work on all types of browsers.
thanks,
grant

Well you may also ask it the other way. Why does Microsoft send the full path file with the input type="file" component?
The purpose of this control is to upload a file from the client to the server. That file is sent with the request.
It does not allow you to browse server files at all. Most probably you are working on your developer machine where the client IS the server, so it works right now.
It won't once they're seperate.
<input type="file"> is the wrong tool to use to browser the server. You need to write your own html pages to do that.

Why does firefox crash when the internet connection is lost?

We have been having trouble with our internet connection recently and firefox crashes whenever the connection is lost, but this didn't used to happen, so I was wondering why this was happening.

If there is any intermittent issues or connection is lost you will revert to the menu, regardless. The 'apps' are fed via server and there is nothing stored on the unit, it simply caches when you are online.
As for the initial wait time. That could be due to ISP throttling, interference, using another DNS

Why does Firefox select the last used printer instead of the system default printer on startup?

In the course of using Firefox I selected my color printer to print in color then closed Firefox. When I reopened Firefox later on and sent something to the printer I had assumed it picked up the system default printer, a monochrome laserjet. It picked up the color printer instead. When I restart my other apps they automatically pick up the default printer. Why not Firefox?

Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.
Are you restoring tabs that you previously opened, or starting up with your home page(s)? I suspect that one of them is generating the dialog. You could check by going to each one and reloading the page to see whether it is from that page.

Why does firefox crash when i am trying to use the google search function?

Why Does FireFox Crash on this page?

After resetting Firefox, it still crashes on this html page, even though Chrome and IE have no problem with it.
http://howtothinksideways.com/zdevDanAllen/firefoxnotcrash.html
Why?
This page does not crash...
firefoxnotcrash.htm
The difference between the two pages is right at the end, were the crashing file has a valid < to open a <div tag, where the non crasher has the < removed. Evidently, FF does not like that div.
An error message instead of crashing and taking all the system memory would be something the developers might want to consider adding in a future release. I would vote for adding the error message and removing the password deleter that can unannouned with the last upgrade.
man....
p.s. I would have to say, Firefox's way of crashing when no other browsers crash, with no error message and taking all the system memory from my computer into its death dive, has to be worst but I ever saw.

I did every step, same result. My gf is not getting the problem on her computer, I am trhing a reset;. sheez.
Still does not answer my question. I did not ask how to fix it. I asked why this is happening?

Why does firefox crash when I print twice?

When printing any webpage from firefox, if I cancel the print command and try to print again, it crashes, and sometimes it crashes on the first attempt. I tried everything suggested on Mozilla troubleshooting website, and finally removed every firefox/mozilla file and re-installed new version of Firefox, but new version still has the same problem. Found other users online with same or similar issue, but no real solutions yet. Using Canon MX700 printer. Could it be a printer plugin? Any help appreciated

Check your print queue in your system preferences and make sure it is not jammed up with prior
print jobs that have not gone thru. After that I would shut the computer down, restart it by holding down the power button until your hear a long tone. If that does not work make sure your reinstall the print drivers that came with your Canon printer. Check the printer setting in the system prefs and make sure all settings are correct.
PS - keep in mind that sometimes PDF files and other files can become corrupt which will cause print hangs also!

Why does Firefox trigger the UAC warning each time I open it?

I design websites and test them across most browsers. We use Windows 7 operating system, and only Firefox triggers the User Account Control message on our test computers, which is a major annoyance when opening instances of Firefox in rapidfire order as web designers do. Is there a way to disable it? The UAC is not triggered by Opera, Safari, Chrome and we have made sure we have not checked properties-compatibility tab - "Run this program as administrator" in both the Firefox.exe file as well as any desktop shortcuts - as advised by several people and contributors to Firefox forums. But that doesn't have an effect. Each time we test, we get the Windows 7 UAC message. We've written to Microsoft several times and they have not replied. We thought perhaps you'd have a solution that actually works.
Thanks

I reinstalled first without deleting everything and then as you suggested. The program now comes up ok when I log in as administrator. However, it is the only program I have that suddenly won't work as a non-administrator without requesting that the administrator approve it to make changes to my computer. I have looked at the permissions and they are the same as for WordPerfect, for example. I don't expect that this program makes changes to my computer that will bother any other users.
Why does Windows 7 think that Firefox is going to change the computer for other users?

Why does Firefox open the printer dialogue box whenever it starts up

When Firefox opens the printer dialogue box automatically opens - why and how do I stop it doing this.
This never used to happen on previous versions of firefox

Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.

Why does most of the "system preferences" not load due to having an intel based mac?

I used to be able to access ALL of the items in "system preferences". Since the upgrade to Mavericks, which the Apple Store did for me, I cannot use most of them. It won't load my printer information. I cannot access security and privacy, users and accouts, parental controls, etc. Sometimes a window pops up and says "Preference Error" could not load.....pane. Or it will say "Preference Error" (and something like) cannot load ....... because it's an intel based mac. What the heck does that mean and why does it say that when I used to be able to access everything in the "System Preferences"? Please help! I'm sooooo frustrated and confused right now.

Since the upgrade to Mavericks
In order to get the correct troubleshooting suggestions, please, please pretty please, correct/update your system profile. Thank you

Why does Firefox crash when I try to view my Twitter page?

For the past week, almost every time I try to open a new tab to go to Twitter.com (or right-click on a link in a tweet), Firefox crashes on me. Today when I tried to go to Twitter, Firefox will only load the Twitter navigation bar and not the rest of the page. I have attempted to view my Twitter page multiple times.
I can view my Twitter page in IE, Google Chrome and Opera, but not Firefox, which is my preferred browser. Have there been any changes to Firefox in the last week that could have caused this?

Why does Firefox crash every time I try to print?

I am running Firefox 31.0 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.7.5. I was having issues with mysterious add-ons that added new buttons to the toolbar on both Firefox and Safari. I un-installed Firefox and the Firefox settings folder, then re-installed Firefox from an earlier version (18.0) which automatically updates to the latest version.
Every time I try to print any page on any website, the Print dialog box appears but Firefox crashes as soon as I click the "Print" (OK) or "Cancel" button.
I have tried running Firefox in Safe Mode, but the problem recurs. I tried resetting Firefox, but the problem recurs. I tried resetting Firefox's print settings, but there were no "print_printer" or "print.print_printer" settings in about:config and no lines beginning with "print_" in the prefs.js file. I un-installed and re-installed Firefox after deleting the Firefox settings folder, and still the problem recurs.

Why does Firefox crashes when viewing Google Images?

I was having six tabs open, one is an online pdf and two are from Google Images while the rest are forum tabs. The Firefox (ver 19 which I'm using currently) lags whenever I search for images using Google and in seemingly random occurrence, it will cause the Firefox to immediately crash with no warning. I had lost a significant portion of my time in composing emails and searching for information due to this unexpected error and it had occurred for past three versions of Firefox for me, pointing at the same initial triggers, having Google Images tab open. Checking the crash reporter reveals nothing as it stated "EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump." I hope the Mozilla team would immediately rectify this problem as it's quite annoying--and time wasting.
