Why is Mozilla shutting down by itself ?

Why is Mozilla shutting down bt itself. I seem to happen about every 24 hours. It just shuts down for no reason and has to be re-started.

What exactly happens and do you get any error messages ?
Is it the whole computer that shuts down or just the Firefox browser ?
Quite a few possible reasons but two are
# The computer overheats.
# You run out of memory
If your computer has a variable speed fan you will probably note that running at high speed, if you are in danger of overheating. Software is available that will monitor and check temperatures. Dust build up or obstructed ventilation are possible causes, & probably noticeable if watching videos.
Firefox or the computer may crash in some circumstances if there is no more available RAM memory or HDD space. That is probably more likely to cause a Firefox crash rather than the whole computer crashing.

    An Apple technical adviser indicated to me to the followig, but it did not help, so I'm back to square 1
    Adviser
    Go to the preferences folder and then look for the following files and delete them
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist com.apple.systemuiserver.plist then restart your computer.
    It did not solve the problem.
    It sounds like the power manager or the power management settings are not behaving right.

  • MBP shutting down by itself

    Help!
    I don't know why my MBP shuts down by itself,
    the first time it happened was when i was burning something from idvd
    then it happened again when I was just typing something, then again when I was just surfing. Then when i tried to turn it on, it went off again..then finally it is working now.
    Is it possible this is happening because of the replacement batteries? i bought my MBP last february when it went out, so it is part of the battery recall. right now im using the replacement. what should i do?
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It's not the battery. Many of the Mac Books have a far more serious problem with their internal hardware.
    The first thing i suggest is repair your permissions.
    Secondly, make sure you have updated firmware.
    Thirdly, try reseating your ram.
    Last, alert Applecare. Tell them your problem, and the steps you have taken.
    It is likely that you will need to:
    a.) have your logic board replaced (it will take about a week, including shipping)
    or b.) need a replacement.
    I just went through all of this. If you want me to walk you through anything, just let me know.

  • Why my 2009 desktop with OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself

    Why my 2009 desktop using OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself?

    When it shuts down, the screen blanks (more like turns grey, like the color of the background when on the log in screen). It reboots immediately, so at first the problem was presumed to be restarting, not shutting down and powering back on. The computer is usually very warm, and definitely gets hot easily. A test was run determine when the fan would turn on to start cooling the computer by running digits of Pi, and the tester concluded it was too close within the safe temperatures before it would permanently affect the computer. (I believe this was within 5ºF, but I am not 100% sure.) The times when it will turn off and reboot do not seem coorelated with much if anything. It has done this at multiple times, among running varying amounts of programs and for different lengths of time: right after logging into the user, within a minute of after it has turned off and rebooted, within 5 minutes, 10, 30, even 60 minutes of turning off and rebooting, when only running one program such as Firefox, when running various programs such as Firefox, iTunes, Microsoft Word, Sticky Notes....
    Basically, it makes no sense.

  • Why does my MBP 13" 2012 screen shuts down by itself?

    The screen of my MBP 13" shuts down by itself, more and more often. It does not happen in a specific situation, and the laptop continues running and receiving inputs. In order to reactivate the screen I have to open and close it several times, or press the power button.
    The screen turns completely back and the led outside start blinking like when I close the laptop.
    The MBP is new, bought in summer 2012 and does not have any other program installed than the standard ones. I have no idea why this happens but it is occurring more and more.
    Do you have any idea?

  • My phone has been shutting down by itself. Why is it doing that?

    My Iphone has been shutting down by itself and its not keeping a charge either i use to keep battery life until at least the end of the day, thatas even when I close out my apps. Even Siri start talking on its own. Whats the reason for all this?

    The iPhone can shut down by itself when the battery is too low.  Don't know if you have a malfunction that is running continuously and as such draining the battery ...or if you just have a warn out battery. 

  • SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself

    Hello Gurus
    A few SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself and this is happening
    for systems which have a version 4.6c and 4.5B in our landscape like PCX.. Analyzing the log of one of this agents the
    message below is informed:
    Mon May 9 04:41:10 2011
    CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: no permission to
    read /usr/sap/PCX/SYS/profile/PCX_G34_zonepcx
    CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: Please check sapccmsr.ini
    I tried to find the profile mentioned in the warning but with no
    succes. The cause of the shutdown of the agent is that because the
    correct profile is PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx instead of PCX_G34_zonepcx but
    why it is looking for the wrong one when everything is configured with
    the profile PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx . I also checked sapccmsr.ini but
    found nothing.
    I  can start the agent normally choosing the correct parameter
    (PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx) but sometimes the agent shutdown by itself
    after 3-4 days with the error message above.
    Why the agent search for the wrong profile and where can I change it to
    the right profile ?
    Or is there any other way to resolve it.
    Thanks and Regards
    Ashwini

    Thank you Mani, I will make this test in only one appl server and monitor.
    I will let you know the resul of my tests.
    Regards

  • Emctl shutting down by itself after a while

    I just got 10.1.0.3 installed and a 9i database converted. I can get the Database Control started (emctl start dbconsole) and use it, however, after a while emctl shuts down by itself. Below is what occurs in emagent.trc just before emctl shuts itself down - apparantly gracefully. All help appreciated

    I searched through this forum earlier and did not get an answer. Appreciate your helps.
    Thanks
    SathThere is but a more important question is why does it quit every few days. Solve that problem and you'll be more ahead than with the solution you asked or originally.
    You can put the program on a timer and have ti launch every so often; you'll have to have it check to see if it's in memory when you do and if it is, then close the launcher and just let the previous running instance continue.

    My Iphone 4s  shut down by itself after a phone call and I cannot turn it on. I took it to istore and they said it was unrespinsive and there is nothing they can do? Anyone has a clue what can be done? When I connect the phone to itunes it indicates that the phone should be restored, however when i try to restore it, it says the "software for this iphone is not currently available" Is there anything I can do other than put this brand new iphone in the grabage?
