Why does firefox (Ver:3.6.15- Windows XP) keep crashing while in ebay?

Every time I am in e-bay, fire fox crashes. There is almost no exception to this occurrence and certainly no warning.

5 years ago the Firefox installer was different than what is being used now, so Firefox should have been installed to the C:\ drive at some point since then, unless you purposely installed it to a non-default location. Let's see where is is installed.
Right-click the shortcut icon you use to launch Firefox and select Properties.
Then copy the '''Target''' line using {Ctrl + C} on the keyboard, that line should already be highlighted so all you have to do is hit {Ctrl + C} - and Paste it into a Text program, like Notepad using {Ctrl + V}.
Is that file path - '''"C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe"''' or is it '''"F:\''something or other''\Firefox\firefox.exe"''' - ??

Why does FireFox 4 (that's the Newest Version) keep crashing when i do a Google Search???

I downloaded FireFox 4 on Friday 25 March 2011. It would run ok with my saved Bookmarks and is faster BUT when i do a Google Search, Firefox 4 ALWAYS freezes/crashes. Windows Task Manager displays the message "Not Responding".
Today, I have re-installed FireFox 3.6.16 because of the Freeze/Crash problem that i'm encountering with FireFox 4.

Apparently I have found a workaround:
1) right click on Firefox.exe
2) compatibility tab..check-mark Run this program in compatibility.. and select windows 2000
3) apply
hopefully will work for other people. .......and hopefully it gets fixed

Why does firefox startup with previous history window

Why does my Firefox (3.6.17) now always startup with a window on the left of screen displaying all the previous url's I have used grouped into 'Today', 'Yesterday', 'last 7 days', 'May', 'April'?
I cannot remember changing any setting for this to happen and now I cannot find how to turn off this annoying window.

That are probably JavaScript window.open() calls that specify window dimensions.
You can divert those to a new tab.

Why does firefox intermittantly open a new window when I click on an existing tab? This only happens when I have three or more tabs open.

Several times now Firefox 4.0.1, when clicking on a tab (three or more tabs open) I immediately moves that tab to it's own window and closes the tab in the existing window.

That is probably the "tear-off tabs" feature. A slight movement (usually downward) when clicking on an existing tab will cause that tab to "tear-off" and open in a new window. You can drag the tab back to the previous window. You can also install this add-on to stop the behavior: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

Why does Firefox sometimes open a new window when I navigate to an existing tab?

I often have 7 or 8 tabs open in Firefox. Sometimes when I click on a tab, Firefox opens it in a new window instead of just going to that tab. I haven't figured out a pattern when it does this.

A very slight movement (usually downward) will cause the tab to "tear off"/"tear away" into a new window. You can drag the tab back to the original window from the new window.
You can install this Add-on to stop the "tear off"/"tear away" behavior:

Why does Firefox now open a new window "when I click on a link" while using? It's a new annoyance that only appeared when I downleaded or added an add-on or extension. Please help me! Thank you VERY much!

A new window opens when I click on a link or go to a new site.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Why does Firefox stop opening new browser windows when "Sync" is running?

I downloaded and installed Firefox Sync v1.4 to my Firefox v.3.6.10
While Sync is running, Firefox will not open a new window when I do any of the following:
* Click "New Window" from the File menu.
* Click "Open in a new window" from right-clicking a tab.
* Click a link with JavaScript to open the target in a new window.
No error messages, just no action. I updated Sync to the newest version 1.5 but the problem still exists. Disabling either version in the Add-ons window "fixed" the problem. Is there a setting that causes this problem? Are others experiencing this same problem?

Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs. 
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. 
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.
bug489729 (Disable detach and tear off tab):
*https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why does file picker unexpectadly closed by Windows message keep hanging Firefox 4 when trying to browse destination folder for download?

Whenever I try to download a file, Firefox 4 asks me to choose a destination folder, then when I browse and choose the folder for the download, Firefox just hangs, and I get the file picker unexpectedly closed by Windows message. I end up having to use task manager to close Firefox.

The post I was responding to said,
"Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps. "
Somehow, I think that means Windows...
I've tried Firefox in Safe Mode - it makes no difference.

Why does Firefox randomly disconnect my tabbed windows into their own window?

I use tabbed browsing in my Firefox, since up grading to Firefox 18 it will occasionally, at random, disconnect a tab from the group. There doesn't seem to be a pattern and I am not telling it to separate the tab from the group.

Hi DHarbour60, 
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
 
To Reset Firefox do the following:
 
* Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
* Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
* Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
* Bulleted list itemFirefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
 
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Why does Firefox open in a new window with some sites? I hate this.

In some instances, a new browser opens with my homepage when typing in certain websites. I didn't have this problem before upgrading to 7. I hate this.

That are probably JavaScript window.open() calls that specify window dimensions.
You can divert those to a new tab.

Why does Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4.63) keeps crashing in Win7?

After a few seconds after opening a PDF document or launching the application, it crashes and provides the error below. I've already uninstallaed and reinstalled the application but the same thing happens.
I also followed the step in the community discussion http://forums.adobe.com/message/5360426#5360426 but I could not even keep the application running long enough to access the settings and accepting the EULA didn't worked either.
Please can someone provide assistance if you have similar issues?

Not sure if this will fix it, but here are some things you could try...
Update to 11.0.5
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Why does Adobe Reader 11.2.1 for Android keep crashing?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet and have successfully been reading, highlighting and annotating my pdf course books for 6 months but the latest update keeps crashing. I have precious study time on my journey to work and have now lost over a week so am very unhappy. What is wrong with it? I have reinstalled about 4 times and no joy. it will display the bookmarked page but no others. I tried giving it time but it renders a max of 6 pages. I have redownloaded the book but same problem, and obviously that doesn't help as my notes are In the previous file. Suggestions, or preferably a fix, urgently needed as I am now behind in my study with an exam looming!!

Hello,
I will answer each of your points in order:
No, the issue is not related to Kitkat as I am not on that level of Android.
The path to my document is /storage/sdcard0/SD329/ebook_sd329_book3_e1i1_n9781780073378_l3.pdf.
No, this is happening with other pdfs. I have tried just one chapter and also a fresh download of the same book (it was downloaded from my university website). The smaller file is more successful, I could highlight and annotate the file, but when moving through the book by more than a page at a time, ie. Using the scroll bar, the pages then fail to display and are blank. This is more prominent on the larger file, the whole book. It's as though I am reading the document on a website and the whole book is being downloaded each time I move through.
It crashes when I move round the document. I would read one page then move to ther next which is blank, I could go back to the page I had just read and that's now blank.
I use the highlighting tool, underline and free text pen. They would be selected from the menu at the top of the screen.
Reader crashes when moving through the document. It is as though the whole documenf is downloaded each time a page is displayed which I would not expect to happen as the document is stored on my tablet. The display of the next page is often slower than the time it takes me to read the a page.
I can't email the file as it is too large. I found this out when I tried to send it to my university computer helpdesk.
Asmi mentioned previously I have successfully read and annotated this file over the previous 6 weeks with none of these issues. I was able to moce freely through the document, both by single pages and by the scroll bar or go to and had no delay I displaying the pages. The only change has been the upgrade.
Thanks
