Why does Firefox Crash Constantly?

Like others who have reported this issue, Firefox has been crashing constantly on numerous different websites. I have Windows 7 32bit which was recently re-installed, fully updated. All drivers are up to date, all add-ons are updated, all plug-ins are up to date and in fact, I've disabled most of them and yet, the crashing continues. Looking at the crash reports, it seems to be related to Java "'''''Firefox 7.0.1 Crash Report [@ js::mjit::EnterMethodJIT(JSContext*, js::StackFrame*, void*, js::Value*) ]'''''"
This has been an ongoing problem since FF4 and I have since resorted back to a portable version of FF3.6. I've been through all the troubleshooting steps included on this website. My computer is clean of any viruses, malware, spyware, etc. Starting in safe mode seems to be to only solution to this problem but completely defeats the purpose as to why I'm using it in the first place. Looking at the crash reports, it seems this is a known issue with FF:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595351
I've been a long time user of FF but if this continues to happen, I feel the the only solution will be to switch to a more stable browser until this is fixed. If there's anyone out there, please help find a solution to this problem. It's been ongoing for far too long!

OK I knewwww I shouldve waited a little longer. A few seconds after posting my last reply, the flash player crashed on Firefox. This is an additional problem that happens constantly on FF. I know there was something about some conflicts between the flash player with FF & some other flash player....but i'm not totally sure what it is & how it all works.
Plus it seems like that is something I've already gone in & tinkered with.
(I originally wrote tinkled with but then caught myself)

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 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 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 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?

You already posted some of the crash report links in another thread that you had created, so I'm going to lock this thread.

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.

Why does Firefox crash every time I am on Facebook since 3 or 4 days now?

everytime I go on Facebook it lets me register in write a bit of a message and then crashes. It started about 3 or 4 days ago.

seems to be after I log into a site 'facebook' pops up and wants me to register. I finally did and the next time I logged into a different site a blogger site of some kind wanted me to register. Any download attempts Firefox crashes.
I don't have a browser hijacker.......

Why does Firefox crash when I open Adobe, Firefox & all plug ins including Adobe are up to date and current, WHY?

Firefox crashes when I open Adobe (pdf) ALL plug ins are up to date as is FF

This is a known issue with Adobe Reader, and it depends on Adobe updating their plugin.
Whilst you're waiting for Adobe to fix their plugin, you can disable it and fallback to the default PDF reader in Firefox by following these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.

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 crash when ever I want to print an email or something from the web?

If you choose print on the browser it will go to this dialog box where you click print and after clicking the browser will crash and another box will appear stating that it crash and wants to know if you would like to submit a report.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Why does Firefox crash every time I search Google?

Literally every single time I search Google it loads up the results page, but immediately crashes Firefox. No Crash ID it just goes blank and reads "Not Responding" at the top. This only happens with Google on Firefox, but Google on *shudders* Internet Explorer works as normal...

I run Firefox in Safe Mode: the problem recurs.
