Why does firefox says abnormal programme termination, runtime error

I was on a website selling download patterns, but when I tried to download, or if I was on the site for too long it stopped, and message came up from firefox RUNTIME ERROR, ABNORMAL PROGRAMME TERMINATION, and everything freezes and I have to go off-line. I have tried several times no success.

There are other things that you can look at.
Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions. 
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions
* Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)

In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. This has been going on for over three weeks, I am now on 9 and still it says I have not upgraded.

In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. So I upgrade again and still it says I haven't next time I log on. Today I upgraded to 9, it said congratulations on upgrading, I log off then log back on only to be told yet again I need to upgrade. What is going on?

You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained. You appear to have Firefox 8.0.1 installed which is the latest version.
'''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version is now built-in to Firefox).

Why does Firefox say that the 6.0 update is the latest version?

I was prompted to update to Firefox 7.0 It also said my Norton Identity safe and toolbar would not work with this version. I ran live updates several times and restarted my computer. Now when I go to the trouble section, it says I am at risk not having the latest version. When I try to update, it says 6.0 is the latest version and I am protected. This product is not worth this much work and aggravation. Why has Firefox become such a pain in the butt?

Which version of the Flash player do you have?

Why does iTunes say there's an unknown error (-54) when i try to sync my iPhone 5c into my computer?

Everytime I try to sync my iPhone 5c onto my computer there's always a message that pops up and says there's an unknown error. I have synced my iPhone to a new computer and have purchased new music on this computer. I have previous music on my old computer which is still on my phone but i want that music off. I just want to start over with the new music i got on this computer. For some reason, the old music from my old computer won't show up on my new computer, but the old music shows up on my iPhone 5c. I have no idea on how to delete the old songs. My iPhone doesn't give me the option. I'm thinking maybe the error has to do something with that. Any suggestions?

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Why does firefox say this not a trusted site and that legitimate businesses are trusted by Firefox

Hi,
One of my partners in New York just sent me an email to say that when he went onto our site www.101BusinessInsights.info a huge banner appeared on his screen saying " this not a trusted site and that legitimate businesses are trusted by Firefox"
Please can you advise why this is so and what can be done to make sure this does not happen.
Kind regards, Andre Jankowitz

http://www.101businessinsights.info/ loads fine.
https://www.101businessinsights.info/ is what comes up as untrusted. Read the '''''Technical Details''''' to see what the problem = the certificate being used isn't valid for that domain.

Why does firefox say certain websites like the website for mozilla support is not a secure website?

The websites to where I can check my status at the new school I am getting ready to start, my bank's website, facebook, and the website for the mozilla support are telling me when I go there that these sites are unsecure and the firefox will not let me access these websites.

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Do you mean that you get the page that says that a secure connection failed?
Check out why the site is untrusted (click "Technical Details to expand that section) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
Note that some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.

Why does Firefox say "This Connection is Untrusted" for most websites?

Firefox tells me the connection isn't trusted for pretty much every site I attempt to go to. I can't bypass it and I have tried everything I read in the support articles, changed settings, resetting and restarting etc. Nothing works. Please help!

Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section. If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.

Why does Firefox have so many unresposive script errors?

Firefox 22.0 (on Mac) seems to be a dog. It continually stops responding and gives so many "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding" errors.
Either Facebook have done something, or there is an incompatibility between Flash, Firefox and Facebook or something. (Flash 11.7.700.225)
I have had this before with other Firefox builds - but this time it is occurring multiple times each time I am on Facebook
Thinking of trying Chrome if this keeps up - although I am reluctant to hand yet even more privacy info over to Google.
The only plugin I use is Flash. I run the default theme, and the only add-ons I have are Adblock Plus 2.2.4, Adblock Plus Pop-up Add-on 0.8 and the English (Australian) Dictionary 2.1.2
I wish each so-called 'security upgrade' came with a message that 'this version is a dog' - it is not only causing issues it is not compatible and has disable my "Easy Youtube Video Downloader 6.8"
As per the Mozilla Help I have disabled "hardware acceleration" and also changed the value for "dom.max_script_run_time" to 20 - neither helped in any way.
Far from happy Mozilla

Thank you for your "copy and paste" reply. It is very obvious that you did NOT read my original post.
If you had you would have noticed:
a) I stated: "I run the default theme"
and that
b)I stated: "I have disabled "hardware acceleration""
c)I stated: "changed the value for "dom.max_script_run_time" to 20 "
(both of which are in response to the linked help article that you recommended - and neither of which did any good)
d) I also stated: "The only plugin I use is Flash"
(which is the latest up-to-date version and if Firefox cannot run with Flash it is of no use as a browser)
I will try "Safe Mode" and post how that works after browsing Facebook - but it should not be necessary to do this.
I had reported similar issues with Firefox two or three builds back (Firefox 19.0.2) then the issue was fixed for a couple of builds - and now with the release of Firefox 22.0 (on Mac) it is as bad or worse than ever.

Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8?

Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8? I had an older version of Firefox and it said I needed to update it but that was the message that appeared.

Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.

Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

When you open Firefox in Safe Mode, it automatically disables your custom settings, themes, and add-ons. THOSE changes are temporary.
However, if you click any of the boxes underneath the line, "You can make some or all of these changes permanent", and then choose "Make Changes and Restart", everything you checked will be forever changed, even when you start Firefox again in 'normal' mode. [See attached image for a preview of the Safe Mode options].
To be clear:
1. If you check any of the boxes but do NOT select "Make changes and restart", those things will not be changed at all in safe mode.
2. If you select any of the boxes and you DO select "Make changes and restart", you will permanently lose any of the items you checked (bookmarks (except for backups), user preferences, etc.).
If you performed the action in step 2 above, you will only be able to restore those things if you have a previously created back-up of your Mozilla Profiles folder (not the same as the Firefox program folder).
Hope this helps.

I get this error--"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error, Program: c:\programfiles\mozillafirefox\firefox.exe, abnormal program termination" any ideas???

no specific web site causes this to happen.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

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!!

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.

Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?

Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?For example, I have 9,80GD on disk and after looked 2 video on youtube(2-3 min each) it's become 9,60GB. It's 200MB gone!

If you did not see the dialog box asking if you wanted to delete from the hard drive, I think this may be one of those options where you can say "Don't ask again," meaning until you trash your iTunes prefs, it will cease asking the question.
you can bring those dialogs back. iTunes > preferences > advanced > reset all dialog warnings
