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.
Crash reports:

I'm using the default theme and have avoided changing any settings since the last re-install.
Halp!

  • Why does PSE12 crash every time I try to print a picture?

    PSE12 Organizer crashes every time I print a selected image.
    OS is Windows 8.1 (64 bit).
    Catalog is on local drive.
    Image is stored on network drive (internal drive on another computer)
    I can edit the picture just fine.
    I can print the image just fine from PSE12 the Editor so I know there is nothing wrong with the printer setup.
    Actually Organizer crashes while the printer dialog is trying to open.
    Thanks,

    Dunno. Do you have an example SVG that crashes Illy on your computer?

  • Why does fcpx crash every time i try to edit titles/text??

    why does fcpx crash every time i try to edit titles/text?? I'm trying to wrap up a project for work and now fcpx thinks it needs to crash every time i click on a "title" to edit it. It's making the completion of this project nearly impossible.

    nope, i'm just using the select tool "a" to move my titles .. if the inspector is open, the second i click on any title in any project the whole program crashes. but with the inspector closed i can move my titles at will without a crash. i'm not sure what's allowing me to manipulate titles since you've said Lion updates haven't fixed this function. and i'm not sure what's making fcpx crash to the ground every time i click a title with the inpector open. all i know is that this little loophole i've found is working for me and has allowed me to complete my project this morning which is awesome.

    Why is PS6 crashing every time I try to print?

    To add to Noel’s post, would you expect a mechanic to be able to determine the root problem just by telling them: »My car won’t start.«?

  • I downloaded the latest FF version for my new laptop with Windows 7 o/s and installed without problems, so why does it crash every time I try to use FF?

    My new laptop came with IE installed. I downloaded FF and installed it without any problems. FF has crashed every time I have tried to use it. I have never had this problem before on either laptop or desktop and found that I could use FF most of the time, only switching to IE occasionally when a site worked better with it ... which wasn't often.

  • Why does it crash EVERY time I try to export?

    I have edited a book in Pages and every time I try to save it or export, it crashes. I am assuming it's because I made so many changes, but I NEED them. Any suggestions?
    Thank you!
    Francine

    Francine,
    If I'm getting this correctly, you can open Pages documents but not save or export. Are you certain that you are using a fully registered version of Pages? What you describe sounds a little like a Trial version that has expired. Sometimes we may have an expired trial version of iWork in addition to a more recently purchased fully-owned copy. Unless we eliminate this trial version we will continue to have trouble. Do you think this might be the problem?

  • Why does Acrobat crash every time I try to organize form fields?

    I am working on an 18 page pdf that was created in InDesign. I am copying and pasting fields from an existing document to retain importability. Every time I drag a field to a new location in the field menu, Acrobat crashes. Any idea how to fix this? My software is up-to-date, and I am working on a Retina display MacBook Pro hooked up to a Thunderbolt display. I have had nothing but issues with Acrobat since upgrading to Creative Cloud. I know that there were issues a few months ago with Acrobat & the Retina display MBPs....does this have anything to do with that?

    As a test, try the following preferences:
    Acrobat > Preferences > Forms > Automatically adjust tab order when modifying fields [Deselect]
    and:
    Acrobat > Preferences > Forms > Show field preview when creating or editing form fields [Deselect]
    So deselect if either are selected. No guarantees, but it's something to try.

  • Why does firefox close every time I try to send email with Hot mail and I have no other problems?

    It looks like other people are having the same problem with Hotmail from the posts in the Hot mail forum. They suggested I contact support for my browser. I thought Firefox was the problem, I uninstalled it and installed the newest version. CC cleaner is used every time my computer reboots and Firefox is set to remove history each time it restarts. I defrag and shred free space weekly. My computer has no other issues whether on line or off. The problem of Hot mail crashing my browser/s started over a week ago. I am able to access my account/read/ click on links/delete/clear spam folder . . . . but the instant I click on reply, new, compose, (?) any browser will crash within 20 seconds. There have been no recent changes to my computer BEFORE Hotmail began crashing my browser/s. I have had {removed email address} for many years and this is the first time I have seen this happen. I do not receive error messages, it simply closes my browser. Firefox is my primary default browser. As I said Firefox was re-installed AFTER this started happening. I have 3 gmail accounts , they all work fine. I have too many contacts in my Hotmail account to open a new account with another provider. This is my personal email not business. It look as if a lot of people are having this same issue with Firefox?!?

    Does it help if you disable the plugin-container process?

  • Why does GarageBand crash every time I try to record a certain song.

    I have recorded many songs using the GarageBand app. However I've been trying to record a new one and every time I get just past the middle point, the app crashes. I reset it and am able to retrieve all my other songs but when I try to pull up the one song to complete it, it crashes again.

    I'm experiencing the same thing. I was working on a song arrangement when the app crashed, I reset, now I cannot load that song without a crash? Of course it would be my favorite and the one I spent most of my time creating however I have more complex songs and they load and edit with no problem even if I add to them. I keep trying and it might be wishful thinking but it seems to load a little more before crashing so I haven't deleted it. Instead I'm crossing my fingers for a solution.

  • 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 FF crashes every time I try to import IE settings?

    I converted over to FireFox (FF) this morning and during set-up when it asks about importing your settings from other browsers I tried to but FF crashed saying it couldn't do it at that time. Okay, no huge problem I knew I could do it later.

  • 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...
