Why does Firefox 8 close unexpectedly after I print a webpage?

I use Windows XP and Firefox 8. When I print a webpage, Firfox closes and has to be re-opened. No messages are received.

Thanks. I have just restarted Firefox in safe mode and printed a webpage without Firefox closing. Will this affect any other use of Firefox?

Why does a font substitution occur when I print a webpage? How can I fix it?

When I print a webpage, a font substitution occurs. This happens no matter what printer I send the document to. It did not occur in previous versions of Firefox.

Gabe,
It sounds as though Pages is trying to resume editing a bad document, or a very large one. Quit Pages, Force Quit if necessary, and then start it up again while holding down the Shift key to prevent reopening formerly open documents.

Why does firefox randomly close (no crash report appaears after)?

Firefox randomly just closes on me. It's not a crash, at least not a normal crash, because the Crash Report does not come up. It's just one moment it is open and the next it is now.
On top of that when it does do this, and at random other times as well, I am not able to re-open it for several minutes or I have to close the actual process through task manager in order for it to open again.

I'm sorry but I think you didn't get the problem right. Firefox just unexpectedly closes. It does not crash. There are no crash reports.

Why does Firefox continually close itself without warning, but reopen prior tabs, without an error message or crash report?

For the past couple weeks Firefox has been randomly closing itself, without warning. I will be on another program on my laptop and Firefox will shut down. But, when I reopen it, all my tabs will restore as if nothing happened, and there is rarely a recovery error alert. I also do not receive crash reports for this phenomenon. Everything about the browser seems to be working fine as usual otherwise.

Why does Firefox require a reboot after uninstallation?

Basically, my problem was already asked here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/916857
But that thread is marked as "solved", when in fact this problem is nowhere near being solved, so I am asking it again in a new, "unsolved" thread.
In former times Firefox never needed a reboot, and it does not make any sense because no Firefox-related file should be in use at the time of uninstallation. (Forget about updating in my case; I am doing a clean uninstall, and Firefox insists in rebooting anyway.)
Windows reboots due to software uninstallations are generally only required in the following cases:
* If files that belong to Windows are being modified. I hope Firefox does no such thing...
* Part of the software being uninstalled is still running, so that its files are in use. However, I completely closed Firefox and even used the task manager to make sure no firefox-related processes were running.
Some applications (i.e. Adobe Reader) install fancy "Speed Launchers" that are loaded at boot time and stay resident in memory. Unless these processes are manually killed before uninstallation, they may also be the reason why a reboot is necessary. However, Firefox should not do such a thing.
To summarize it, the question is: '''Which part of Firefox is running during uninstallation so that removal of the corresponding files is required?
Generally, I consider this a very bad software behavior, one that I would expect from some commercial software producer who wants to install his speedlaunch or logging stuff on my computer, but not from a free project like this one.
Firefox Portable does not do this, easily proving that technically it is not necessary. Earlier versions of Firefox also refrained from doing such a thing.
A piece of software requesting a reboot without good reason is what I consider a bug.

Aw, c'mon. Writing to the Windows registry never requires a reboot. This is ridiculous.
And Firefox did not need that bad behavior up to version 8 either. Why now?
This is not a Windows issue. You cannot alter files in Linux either if they are currently locked. The thing is that there is no sensible reason for any Firefox-related files to be locked at uninstallation time, which is why there should be no problem removing them.
I do not mean to rant, even though I am disappointed by this new behavior and would like to have it changed, but the least thing I really would like to know is exactly what is causing this. Why have the new versions of Firefox been programmed to require a reboot? Exactly which files need to be removed or changed that cannot be removed/changed during regular uninstallation, so that their removal/change needs to be scheduled for the next restart of Windows?

Why does Firefox 21 close first session every single day?

My girlfriend has a new Vaio laptop running Windows 8 and Firefox 21.
Every time she starts Firefox for the first time (after powering up the laptop), the browser closes immediately upon her selecting a bookmark from the bookmark toolbar (usually Gmail) or whatever the first task is that she asks Firefox to do for her. (i.e., search or open a URL.)
I've already reset Firefox and confirmed that hardware acceleration is NOT enabled. (We've replicated the problem after completing these steps.)
The last four crash reports are below.

http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-ee8ecce2-8878-4166-8135-362b92130531
Needless to say, this ongoing problem is very frustrating. Any suggestions on how we can make her browser work more reliably would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

hello, i think the crash might be triggered by Whitesky's ID Vault which is installed on the notebook...

Why does firefox continue to run after closing it?

I close out of an internet site and then go to another link and I get the box that says "Firefox is still running," I wait and try again and it still tells me this.I try several times,I then reboot and start over.How do I stop this?

Probably a problematic extension can cause the problem, see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-hangs#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it Firefox hangs when you quit it]
thank you

Why does Firefox offer themes and gadgets to personalize the webpage, and then make it impossible to use after upgrading Firefox? Can or will these lost functions ever be restored?

The functions designed to modify and/or create a personalize page has ceased to function since upgrading to Firefox versions 4 & 5. No trouble shooting info has been provided to indicate a correction for this problem.

Hi musicfan,<br />Sorry you are having problems with Firefox. Maybe you should have asked earlier and we could have fixed it.
Reading your comments I do not see that rolling back to an insecure Firefox 22 will actually help you much. You are probably best using IE, unless you have also damaged that.
*[[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
You should not use old versions they are insecure. Security fixes are publicised and exploitable.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Most others will not be having such problems. We are now able to say that with confidence because after developers missed a regression in Firefox 4 telemetry was introduced so that data was obtained. It may be an idea to turn on your telemetry, if you have not already done so, and decide to stick with Firefox.

Trying safe mode takes seconds. Unfortunatly if you are not willing to do even rudimentary troubleshooting there is not anything we can do to help you.

Why does Firefox performance slow down after starting Jack server?

Hello,
I started configuring my audio on my system. So, I want to have jack working (not jack2, to work with wineasio) with best sound quality with all sound routed through jack. When i start jack server with this command and settings:
killall jackd;killall pulseaudio;jackd -R -t 1000 -d alsa -P hw:0,0 -r 48000 -n2 -D
Firefox slows down, opens new pages slow and the scroll down is very very slow. I had this issue with other distros too. I suspect that it has to do with realtime ( which i need for my audio related apps like traktor through wine, ardour, ableton through wine etc) without being sure about it. Any idea why this is happening?

zabrielza wrote:I had this issue with other distros too.
This smells like hardware problem. Do this:
1. Kill pulseaudio, jack, and make sure they are killed
2. Make sure you do not renice anything or apply other such tweaks
3. Run jackd -d alsa
4. Use your system
5. If unsatisfactory, try jackd -d alsa -p 1024 -n 3
6. Use your system
Jack runs with realtime priority by default (no flag required), and we still use the audio group to provide that privilege. I also do not advocate the realtime kernel, but you may try it. Jack not functioning well (i.e. hampering other tasks significantly) on a standard kernel is cause for concern.
You can read/grep your dmesg and systemd journal for suspicious messages. You may try running real-time audio tasks in another operating system with your hardware, and upon success may proceed to debug the problem on Linux, possibly with the help of the alsa developers.
Or better yet, grab a supported semi-pro external audio device if jack is important for you. However, this may not help if the problem is somewhere deeper, e.g. at the hardware interrupt level.

Why does Firefox keep hanging unexpectedly?

Hi,
I'm running 6.0.2 (Windows 7 x86) and it's frequently locking up for no apparent reason...
I've had this problem previously and at the time it was fixed by disabling hardware acceleration.
This option is still deactivated but the issue has since returned!
Help!
Brian

Why not ask in the iMovie forums of whichever version you are using? It's where the experts hang out at.

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 does Firefox sometimes ask me if I want to save my tabs when I close, and sometimes it does not? I usually want to save them, so this is a pain. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.5.8
