Why does my Firefox crash and how do I fix it?

Often, when I start Firefox, it immediately crashes. But not always right away. Sometimes it takes a few seconds or I have to type something into Google or open a page and than it crashes. And sometimes it doesn't crash at all. It started on 31.03.2015 and I haven't been able to find the source. My plugins are updated, I am using the newest Firefox-Uptade, my Windows is updated, my Anti-Spyware programs detect no virus, even if I start it in the save mode (with deactivated add-ons) it crashes. Thunderbird also crashes, but not as much as Firefox.
The only big change before Firefox started crashing is that I exchanged my 1GB RAM for 4GB RAM but I used RAM that is supposed to be compatible to my notebook.

  • I have the first iPad, and it keeps crashing no matter what program(safari) app (iTunes) or game I use. I check the updates regularly and I'm up to date. Why does it keep crashing and how can I fix it?

    I have the first iPad (which is considered ancient). I'll open safari and no matter what I'm searching after a few minutes it crashes (it will close safari and bring me back to the main app screen). The last few days I've been searching song on iTunes, and I have the same issue. It closes my iTunes and brings me to the main app screen.
    I have checked my updates and everything is current for this iPad. It's a 64gb iPad with 54gb of available space so I know it's not a storage issue.
    Does anyone have some pointers on how to keep it from crashing all the time?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • When I started up my macbook Pro after a boat trip (just lying in my bag the whole time) it started making weird sounds. Why does it do that and how do I stop it?

    When I started up my macbook Pro after a boat trip (just lying in my bag the whole time) it started making weird sounds. Why does it do that and how do I stop it?

    The 13" retina MBP has two fans, left and right near the hinge and about 2.5" each from the edges of the case.
    My conjecture is that one of the fans may be failing.  An appointment at an Apple store genius bar is the best option.  The evaluation will be FREE and a fan replacement (if that is the problem) should not break the bank account.
    You might run an Apple Hardware Test:

    This may confirm my suspicion or perhaps find a different problem. Note that an error free result should not be viewed as being definitive.

  • My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

    My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

    The above comment is not helpful to me, and I'm also guessing many people, but who knows. I've seen the same recommendation in many, many threads on this same topic, but only once have I seen that the resolution solved the problem for anyone, unless those people didn't follow up. Anyway,I found the below comment which made sense and may be the source of the issue. Too many apps running in the background - turn them off or simply do a hard reset to kill them all at once.

    Apparently, ios closes apps it can't (or thinks it can't) run because of too few RAM available. Double-press the home button and close any still running apps in the background. There are apps that serve to clear up some of your RAM. You will need to do this every once in a while, though.
    Clearing disk space will also help - remove any files you don't need/use and try to keep a clean disc in overall.

  • When using office for mac or i studio after inserting several pictures, my computer locks up and the only way I can fix it is to do a force quit.  Why does it do this and how I I get it fixed without a force quit?

    I have a mac book, with office for mac and iStudio installed.  When I try to create a document using either one of these; after inserting several photos, the computer locks up and the only way I can get it to unlock is to do a force quit.  Why does it do this, and how can I get it to unlock without having to do a force quit?

    Are you using versions of the software that are compatible with the version of OS X you have installed? Very often such lockups are caused by application incompatibility.
    The problem may also come from trying to use both sets of applications at the same time while not having enough RAM installed. Adding more RAM may fix the problem.
    The problem can arise from corrupted support files such as preference files or Application Support files or corrupted cache files.
    The image files you are using may also be corrupt thus causing the problem.
    You might start with:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Lion Cache Cleaner, CockTail, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.

  • What does this error2 mean and how do I fix it?

    What does this error mean and how do I fix it?  I am trying to reinstall CS4 on my Windows 8.1 machine. 
    Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
    Error:
    Error 2.
    Here is the initial error: http://s29.postimg.org/wqy2ju8iv/Untitled.png
    Here is a screenshot when I click the "More Information" button: http://s27.postimg.org/bugb7rx7n/Untitled2.png
    And here is the screenshot when I click the "Get Support" button: http://s4.postimg.org/c2ynvhmvx/Untitled3.png
    I'm stumped.

    Hi there I've just installed CS4 Pro on Windows 7 64bit and got exactly the same result as you. Did you manage to find anything out, because the thing that bothered me was the limited functionality (what ever that is). Is it just a case of Windows 7 having a newer version of ActiveX already installed?

  • When i try to connect to my applications icon this error appears:  cannot connect to itunes store.  Why does it say this and how can I correct it?

    When I try to connect to my application icon it states "cannot connect to itunes store"  why and how can I fix it

    also, how do you connect to internet, cellular data network or wi-fi....you might also try it with wi-fi turned off and see if it works over the cell data network..this would eliminate any proxy issues with the wi-fi network...

  • Why does my Firefox crash reporter hang?

    Please help as Firefox is my preferred browser followed by Opera and Chrome in that order
    Frequent Firefox crashes are disruptive of my workflow which is very web-dependent
    STEPWISE:
    1. I have frequent crashes
    2. The Crash Reporter comes up
    3. Submit report is enabled
    4. I select QUIT or RESTART - a rotating symbol shows the reporter is trying to do something BUT NOTHING HAPPENS
    5. I close the Reporter window
    6. I try to run Firefox again: That brings up the reporter panel again.
    7. THE ONLY WAY I CAN OPEN FIREFOX AGAIN IS TO REBOOT MY COMPUTER.
    8. I switch to OPERA browser to access Mozilla support
    9. I follow instructioins:
    If you can't open Firefox because it crashes at startup even in Safe Mode:
    Go to ~/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports/submitted.
    10. That brings up a long list of "Reports submitted" all with the following format and all sized 50B containing ZERO INFORMATION
    bp-06def14b-da8b-450e-8157-7ae252141029.txt plain text document 50 B 29/10/2014 21:33:34
    11. Before posting this question I tried to "Automatically add" troubleshooting information - which only brought up the dysfunctioning trouble shooter again!
    12. The link to "try these manual steps" brought up a fresh "Ask a Question" window - presumably because it attempted to open in Firefox instead of OPERA which I'm using to log this this report since I'll have to reboot before being able to use Firefox again.
    SYSTEM INFO:
    OS: Ubuntu 14.04 - fully updated
    Mozilla Firefox 33.0 (Info via Terminal since Firefox is stalled)
    Plugins: Zotero, AdBlock Plus, Print edit, Download Helper (from memory since FF is stalled)
    I use Thunderbird 31.2.0 for email - Firefox DOES NOT bring Thunderbird down with it when both are running
    BUT Thunderbird also crashes unexpectedly but not nearly as often as Firefox

    Is it possible to start Firefox in Safe Mode, I do understand that the frequent crashes are disrupting and after a crash that Firefox will not open, you need to restart the computer.
    In about:config are there any changed about:config entries related to the crash report: browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash
    However in the meantime I will see what I can find.

  • Why does elements 13 crash and freeze while starting up while using windows 8.1

    Have had problems with crashes and freezing up with both elements 12 and now elements 13.   Thinking there are problems with Windows 8.1 and adobe premiere elements.   Can anyone shed any light on this issue?

    Perhaps you also need to reset the preferences file for your both PSE12 and PSE13.  The suggested method for earlier versions (10 and 11) was posted here:

    Read post number 3 to see if it works in PSE12 and PSE13.  Do 12 first and then 13.

    But I am getting this alert from SCOM and SCOM has no information about the alert for me to find out what to do - thought that was the point of SCOM to let you know of problems and how to resolve them. :)
    The alert is coming from the Error Count Monitor that is part of the Hyper-V Management Pack Extensions (v 4.0.0.0)
    I have tried looking in the Event Logs on the Host and there doesn't seem to be any storage related errors there. I am trying to establish if this is a false positive, why it is happening and if it is safe to override and ignore.
    There is nothing on the Product Knowledge tab and nothing on the Alert Context other than what I have already mentioned (see below).
    Thanks for responding.

  • Why does my firefox crash when I'm in the middle of writing an e-mail, and how do I stop it from happening?

    It just did it again! How can I write a simple letter if you keep crashing on me? I'm getting very irritated by this.

    Please provide some Crash Report ID's.
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash
    Type '''about:crashes''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    # Middle-Click the hyperlinks to bring up each Crash Report page in a new Tab; each page may take a few minutes to load.
    # '''Then copy'n'paste the URL of each of those reports into the message box here.'''
    # We'll see if we can help you figure out what is causing those crashes to happen.
    If you can't open Firefox or keep it open long enough to get the Crash Report ID's, even in the Firefox Safe Mode - see the section entitled - '''''You can't open Firefox because it crashes at startup even in Safe Mode:'''''.

  • Why does my Firefox freeze and Flash crash whenever I run a Flash video with 3.6.13 when it doesn't with 3.6.12?

    I got the notice a few days ago that 3.6.13 was available. I immediately downloaded it and installed it. I found that after when I went to YouTube that if I loaded any video that when I went to play it Firefox froze until Flash crashed. I reloaded 3.6.12 and the problem went away.

    IF you are running AVG (Free); try this:
    -Open the AVG window (double click on the icon in the system tray). - Double Click on "Link Scanner" in the main window. -Under the "Settings" portion, deselect the "Enable Search-Shield" and the "Enable Surf Shield" options.
    I hope this works for you! Post back if it does!
    I've read that other anti-virus programs can also "create" this problem. . . .not familiar with them though.
