Why is Firefox 3.6.10 crashing repeatedly when I am using hotmail to try to send emails?

I am only having difficulty with hotmail when using Firefox 3.6.10. Opening hotmail is OK, and so is reading emails. The problem starts ONLY when I try to SEND a new email, or reply to an existing email. The email composition page within hotmail opens up, but then my hard drive begins to act erratic and spins non-stop. Then, a few seconds later, it crashes altogether. I restore the session, and all my windows open up normally, but another crash is inevitable because that 'send email' hotmail window is open. Presto... another immediate crash. So, obviously, I can restore a 2nd time, this time WITHOUT restoring the hotmail window, and everything seems to work fine. I have to open up a new tab for hotmail, and that appears to work fine for seeing what new is in my inbox, and even as far as reading emails. It seems to only crash when I try to SEND emails.
I had to go through about 20 different crashes before I could isolate the hotmail window as the culprit. They ALL have the same signature: coreclr.dll@0xbae82 . Of course, "Search Mozilla Support for Help" turns up absolutely nothing on the signature.
The Crash IDs are numerous. I've only listed a few of them, in the link to the right.

Hi
coreclr.dll is an MS Silverlight dll.
Try de-installing silverlight & re-install Firefox
I seemed to have an older version of silverlight already on my computer, but that wouldn't uninstall.
My solution that worked for me is to use the Windows install cleanup utility: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301.
Select Silverlight from the list, and then download Silverlight again and reinstall.
And, if all else fails:

  • 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?

    "Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
    In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
    Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
    In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
    That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

  • Why does Firefox frequently and randomly crash?

    Hi there, for the last couple months Firefox has gone from rock solid stability to frequently crashing randomly. The crashes occur when I'm actively browsing or not doing anything - I can't identify any particular action that is causing the crashes. The crash IDs are seemingly random and from a variety of sources.
    Here are 5 recent crash ID's:
    c97123e4-154d-40e9-b062-0adad2101025

    Much thanks!

    Does this occur when you click links in search engine results? There were some malware around that did this, which you can read about by searching for "Google Redirect Virus". Some are quite difficult to remove.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • Custom plugin crashes repeatedly when closing tabs

    Hello,
    Our company has a custom plugin which we install onto firefox in order to connect to its API.
    lately a customer complained that our plugin is crashing repeatedly. all i have to go on is this crash report for now:
    https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ff38c405-4289-4b72-a82d-fd67a2141208#rawdump
    can anyone help with this?

    The first crash reported seems to be crashing in visual studio. If you are using this to create a website, try a new profile to see it has to do with the interaction with your plugins. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] though if they are needed, this might not work. Disable the plugin [plugin PageHook Version:6.0.0.0 Filename:nppagehook.dll ] as this was reported as the culprit of the crash.
    A bug has just been filed for this the second crash and will need further investigation. However it does look like it is crashing in the plugin operation. It is it possible, can you please try to disable you plugins to see if it crashes again.
    Since this also happens when closing tabs and the first crash is hanging please see these steps to prevent hangs: [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]

  • How do I stop Firefox from creating untitled web pages when I try to send email from a web page. The only way I have found is to turn the computor off and then reboot. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer

    Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.

  • Indesign CS4 suddenly crashes down when I click on "edit" or try help. Can anyone help?

    Hello,
    I am still using Indesign CS4 (Version 6), so far no problem, but since new Macbook with Yosemite several Problems, also with Illustrator.
    I cannot print from Indesign, so far just printing the PDFs, thats possible.
    Since today I cannot use the software at all, as I cannot click on "edit" anymore. The software immediately crashes down when I click.
    Searched the internet, someone told sth about "Zusatzmodule", but it also crashes down when I search for sth in the "help".
    Can anyone here help me?
    Kind of devistated, because its my business, need to work with InDesign...
    thanks
    P.

    I'm sorry to say this but Yosemite and CS4 are incompatable. You're now five versions behind the current on InDesign, and CS4 was never tested with Yosemite.
    You should seriously consider upgrading to either CS6 (perpetual license) or get a Creative Cloud subscription for your business.

  • Why does firefox randomly close (no crash report appaears after)?

    Firefox randomly just closes on me. It's not a crash, at least not a normal crash, because the Crash Report does not come up. It's just one moment it is open and the next it is now.
    On top of that when it does do this, and at random other times as well, I am not able to re-open it for several minutes or I have to close the actual process through task manager in order for it to open again.

    I'm sorry but I think you didn't get the problem right. Firefox just unexpectedly closes. It does not crash. There are no crash reports.
