why does firefox cause windows vistra to crash

hello, as long as the download-process isn't finished a file gets the .part extension appended - this is the expected behaviour in firefox...

  • The Utilisation of Firefox causes Windows Vista Language Bar to disappear.

    Every time I open Firefox, Windows Vista Language Bar will be missing. Once I close Firefox, Language Bar reappear. It causes trouble whenever I wanna write in different languages.

    I disabled the auto-updates after the second auto-update yesterday (and after the Time Machine restore to 10.9.1). The update had already been downloaded prior to that. Apps started nagging me this morning about the update - again. There is no "cancel" option, all I do is click on "Remind me tomorrow". I suspect it will install it again anyway in the days ahead, or I may go ahead and do the update and see if the nav bar is still there given the Preferences > General fix. Thanks.

  • Why does Firefox claim a plugin is crashing whenever I'm on Gaiaonline?

    I play Gaiaonline from time to time and I crash nearly every time I go in it with Firefox, it tells me the problem is a Firefox plugin crash but I have no idea which or why. When I'm on Gaiaonline and I go into Towns and try to open other windows, minimize different windows or maximize a separate window of Firefox, the whole thing freezes completely. It happens every time I go onto Gaiaonline town as if it can't handle the flash related to running Town and mulitask with anything else. Can someone please tell me which plugin is possibly causing this problem so I can reinstall it or if there's something else that needs to be done to prevent easy crashes?

    That is probably an issue with the [[Flash]] plugin.

  • Firefox causes windows 7 to crash

    When trying to open firefox, the screen freezes and windows reboots. Same happens to thunderbird too. Apparently all other programs are functioning. Try reinstall and the same happens. Try fresh reinstall (with all configuration files deleted automatically and manually) and the same still happens. Computer model is HP touchsmart tm2t. Cannot obtain Crash ID.

    Sorry to bump this thread.
    Firefox 4 beta (pre8) crashed to me also with a horrible bsod (all blurred, so probably it crashed my ATI video card).
    The thing is that it happened few minutes after i installed Mathemathica Player 7, and played some examples from Wolfram.
    For example:
    http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/search.html?query=algebra&submit.x=0&submit.y=0
    I guess this two APPs don't behave nice with each other, probably since they both access the video card.

  • Why does Firefox cause my system audio to function improperly?

    Recently (since yesterday to be precise), I've had strange audio issues. What happens is audio works fine, but after a while it won't play all of the sounds it's trying to. This happens on a system wide level, as in clicking the global audio volume mixer won't always play a sound when clicked. I don't mean it plays and shows the sound playing yet no sound is heard; it straight up doesn't play the sound. Audio won't play on YouTube videos unless paused and played a few times, and Windows Media Player says there are problems playing files while this is going on. The problem continues to worsen over time, eventually making nearly all attempted audio plays to fail.
    Opening FL Studios (which I have set to use specific, sound recording audio codecs) and closing it resets the problem and audio will work as normal. I found out today that closing Firefox fixes the problem immediately as well. This leads me to strongly believe that Firefox is the culprit.
    I should note that I only remember experiencing this issue while working on a game that uses Audio elements (and potentially quite a few, albeit they are usually copies). I usually have the global volume for the game turned off when working, if that helps.

    I've gone back to v33.1.1 a few days ago and haven't seen the problem, I've also reinstalled Flash, so I don't think the above answer is quite it.

  • 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.

  • Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult to get answers--I am not going to be able to check the website to see what anyone might reply to my question on crashing?

    I have no way of checking to see if anyone answers this. Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult?
    What does this means: DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\MOZCRT19.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Suddenly all my tabs closed. Then Windows told me I had a gazillion infections. Then a tiny strip appeared saying it was Firefox and these little blocks started to fill up the little strip as if it were downloading something--there was no way to cancel this so I cut the power. Now when I try to use the Firefox icon, I get the message above.
    Am I supposed to remove the old Firefox stuff and start from scratch? I am stuck using Internet Explorer.
    I went to the Firefox website and tried to download it again, but McAffee jumped in and said there is something wrong with Firefox and I should register with them that I am downloading Firefox (I do not have McAffee). Then I got a security warning saying Firefox is not safe.
    I am completely at a loss as to what to do next, since I don't understand any of this mumbojumbo.

    Here's the story on one of your infections, namely JS:Redirector-EH[Trj]: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.H
    The main problem with malware is that it uses the installation to proliferate by contacting hostile servers to download more of the same rogue code.
    Firefox doesn't have the option to "Run" a file. You can only "Save File" or "Cancel". If you downloaded it with IE8, then yes, you can run it, but that's not what I wanted you to do.
    What you should do now is to disable System Restore. You can open System Properties by hitting the Windows logo key and Pause/Break key together. Then click the "System Restore" tab. Then checkmark the box which says "''Turn off System Restore on all drives''". Reboot to clear its contents. System Restore unfortunately makes a backup of all executables which includes viruses so that when you reboot without deleting them first, System Restore reinstates them again.
    After you complete that step, run Avast and Malwarebytes again to make sure the system is clean.
    Then go to the Windows Update site (link on your start menu) and install the missing patches which enabled your machine to become infected in the first place.
    Once the system is clean, repeat step one to download Firefox again, but please do not run the file. If you don't see the option to "Save File", cancel the download, but it should be there. You can use this direct download link to download FF4.0.1 [http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US Download Firefox 4.0.1]
    Run the file after you download it to the desktop.

  • Starting Firefox in Private mode from the pinned ico in taskbar causes Windows Explorer to crash.

    Starting Firefox in Private mode from the pinned icon in taskbar (right click, choose "New Private Window") causes Windows Explorer to crash almost everytime, but not always. Very odd.
    Didn´t happen with previous versions of Firefox.
    Firefox 22.0, Win 7 Ultimate with all updates applied.

    Hello Paul,
    That's a very odd behavior indeed. All I can think of is that an add-on is confused and makes Firefox crash. The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • 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.

    Details

    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]]
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]<br />
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br />
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

    Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
    It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
    YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
    HELP!!
