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''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • 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 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 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 Aperture crash when importing modified image into Photoshop CS2?

    I have been using Aperture 2.1.4 for the past 2 years and really like the interface. But, I've had one nagging problem: I begin by scanning all of my slides with the Nikon Coolscan 4000 and save them as large tiff files @ approx. 55mb each. I then import each slide with a custom color profile into Aperture. I then optimize the image including white balance, levels, and color adjustments. When I want to make additional changes that I'm not able to do in Aperture, I attempt to send the image to Photoshop CS2 for further processing. But, at this point, Aperture crashes. After this, I get a message saying "do you want to re-open Aperture or quit?" Additionally, I often get the message "Aperture has applied new settings. Do want to keep these new settings or use the original settings?" Since I don't know what will happen if I choose "use the new settings," I always select "keep the original settings." And, when I open Aperture again and try, again, to send the image to Photoshop CS2 to edit, Aperture crashes again. Has anyone had the same or similar problem who can give me some ideas of how to solve this issue! Thanks.

    Welcome to the forums!
    It sounds like there may be a permissions issue between the two apps, Aperture using one and PS another.
    1. Are you logged in as an administrator?
    You need to be.
    2. Where is your library stored, is it in the picture folder of your user directory?
    If so moving it in to the general area of your MacHD may help get over some of these issues.
    3. Have you run any of the Ap First Aid steps? Have a read of this page;
    Ap2
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
    Ap3
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    4. Is it possible that the upgrade to Ap3 would get you around the need to jump into PS?
    Start with these ones and then come back letting us know how you go.

  • Why does Photoshop crash when downsampling large images?

    My Mac:
      Model Name: Mac Pro
      Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
      Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
      Number of Processors: 2
      Total Number of Cores: 8
      L2 Cache (per Processor): 12 MB
      Memory: 14 GB
      OSX 10.9.5
    Photoshop 2014.2.1
    138 GB of dedicated swap space on a WD Velociraptor hard drive
    3.21 GB PSB at 64800 x 8025 pixels.
    Any effort to change the image size with resample enabled results in a crash.
    I have tried:
    - changing to a different scratch disk
    - resampling a different file roughly the same size
    - using my other computer running Windows 7
    Has anyone else had this type of issue?
    Thanks!
    Matt

    I created a test file with the exact dimensions of the file that has crashed Photoshop while downsampling. That test file can be downsampled with no problems, leading me to believe that their is something wrong with my files. After a lot of experimentation, I managed to fix the files by doing the following:
    1. Duplicate all adjustment layers to a new file
    2. In the original file, turn off the adjustment layers and then flatten the file (this is the critical step to avoiding a crash)
    3 In the new file, duplicate the adjustment layers back to the original file.
    The only difference in the end is that the image (layer 0) is now a background layer.
    All the affected files can be downsampled in a single step after this is done.
    Strange.

    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
    and paste that into your reply.

    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 firefox hang when opening and takes several minutes to come up?

    Why does Firefox hang for several minutes before coming up?

    I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
    Shutting down and then restarting works fine.
