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
Note: This is a user forum, there is no service provided here by Apple. If you wish to get official tech support you need to contact them.

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 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 my iPad lose the Internet connection ?

Why won't my iPad battery recharge? Sent this message before & would

I didn't do the most recent upgrade as I had problems with it when I did the previous one. I have the IPAD WI-FI 32GB . It seems to be charging ok . I did a Sync yesterday and now it won't connect to the Internet although it was working fine last evening and I didn't change any settings.
When I plug it in to my iMac, the iPhoto applicaiton opens and I have to open the iTunes application even though I have it set to open when I connect the iPad.
Appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer. Thank you in advance.

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 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 Safari crash in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

Why does Safari crashes in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

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 Illustrator crash when saving to a new location on my new MacPro 13" Retina Pro running Yosemite?

That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this

I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

Why does my macbook intermittently lose internet connection when I have internet service?

Hello,
I have checked around on Apple forums as well as the wider internet. My situation is just a bit different than the other solutions I read about.
I have a MacBook, 10.6.8. I have an internet antenna that plugs into the modem, that I plug into my computer. What I have not found in the forums are solutions to an internet connection loss that happens with a hardwired internet connection, ie ethernet wire, not wireless.
I contacted my isp and I was told there is a very strong connection. The internet will cut out when I open another window or just at random times, maybe for 20 seconds. This is very irritating.
Skype and itunes run just fine even when the internet cuts out. I feel there is a problem with one or my of settings. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Most often BitTorrent, iCloud or some other cloud-data application is involved in cases of mysterious bandwidth use by a Mac. If you use iCloud, uncheck at least Photo Stream and Documents & Data in its preference pane and see whether there's any change. If you use third-party network backup software, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.
Otherwise, there's no easy way to monitor network usage per process using built-in tools. If you're an advanced user and you want to try, see the manual page for the nettop(1) shell command. It may or may not provide the information you're looking for.
The third-party products Rubbernet and Little Snitch are supposed to record network usage by processes. I can't vouch for them. Both were available as free trials, the last time I checked. I suggest you uninstall either one when the question has been answered.

Why do i keep getting the "internet connection timeout" error message?

i have been upgrading a few standard itunes albums to itunes plus versions through my 3g mobile broadband connection, while not exactly a fast process, it was working fine until i started to get a backlog of 3 or 4 albums which were waiting in a queue to be downloaded, now every time i do the "check for downloads" option i get the "internet connection timed out" error message...this has been going on for 2 days! am i right in suspecting the backlog of albums is too much for my 3g mobile broadband connection? this is really doing my head in, if any of you techies could help me, it'd be much appreciated...?

yes i have recently updated to itunes 8.2.1, but i am starting to think its apple's servers (i tried to download at my brothers house...different computer and connection...same connection timeout error), because it will still let me download an album, but not necessarily all of the tracks. when i questioned itunes customer services about the seemingly hit and miss state of affairs with downloading, they told me to wait 3 weeks before trying to download the tracks that were giving me the grief (2 tracks from an arctic monkeys album)...which kinda indicates they know there is a problem and are trying to fix it, why else would they say wait 3 wks??? they gave me 5 free music tracks too, which is handy.
