Why is Windows 7 Aero in Firefox crashes after the Screensaver starts when I am in Last.fm?

When I am listening to some music in Last.fm and the screensaver starts, the aero in Firefox is gone when I come back to the pc. I am using Windows 7 32bit. I do not get a message that the flash pluggin is crashed or some other message...
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I updated to the last version before 3.6.7

I have a similar issue in that coming back from Screensaver mode Firefox freezes up and generally the computer has to be restarted to get Firefox to work again. All other programs appear to work fine (Word, Excel, etc.). Just the internet browser. I just tried this that someone posted on the web that made sense, but have not verified it yet (it will be verified either later tonight or tomorrow sometime). You might want to try it.
Go To Device Manager via your control panel
Expand USB (Universal Serial Bus) Controllers
Got to the Properties of Each USB Hub
Go to the Power Management Tab and Uncheck all options if any are checked (this essentially does not allow your computer to turn them off to save power when it wants to)
Click OK (go through each one and a few others check for any power management tabs)
Again do this for all USB Root Hubs (and ck any Generic Hubs you may have)
Reboot you computer
Hopefully it works for you and me!

Why do all my programs keep crashing after the most recent apple update?

Everything keeps crashing after i made an update on saturday. Anyone else having this issue, anyone know of any solutions. Safari, Chrome, all adobe products keep crashing. Very frustrating as today is a work day and have not been able to get anything done. I've lost a whole day of work and am really hoping for a solution so my whole week is not lost.

Have you got any programs which modify the OS, such as haxies and those fancy utilities? If so, you could delete them, preferably using the uninstaller provided by the supplier. Also, any out-of-date hardware which might be upsetting Lion?
If that fails, erase your hard drive and re-install Lion (which will be a clean install). Or erase and revert to SnowLeopard or earlier and wait for Lion to settle down.
However, for people running a business (you mention "work") it would be safer to install a new OS on to an external Firewire or USB HD and see how it goes. If it does not work, you can revert to your earlier setup. (If you can revert to an earlier workable OS, you could do that as well.)

Firefox crashes after a few minutes when using say Ebay and Yahoo sites. Also internet exploer also does the same. I do not know much about computers please help if possible. Many thanks. PS I have the latest Firefox version

The problem has just started. I did get a funny windows coming up about 'best video down loader' but I do have that addon already.

I have too have lost all function to my smart mailboxes upon installing Yosemite. I also lost all my flagged email. Any solutions yet? I will be bummed if I have to recreate my email because I was foolish enough to install this upgrade too soon. Will I ever learn to wait? Ugh.

I have Windows XP Service Pack 3, I am having the same issues whether I use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. My HP Pavilion Desktop has 504 MB of Ram and I am using high speed internet connection. Because it was crashing so much, I used the uninstall program for Flash player to uninstall Flash, I checked my registry and removed anything I saw that was Flash. I then uninstalled Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, then I reinstalled the most recent versions from their websites. I did the same for FlashPlayer and Shockwave Flash. I went to the Adobe website and had them check to see if it was working and it shows I have FlashPlayer 10.3.181.36. The page that shows which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium. I also am running Norton Internet Security. It takes anywhere from 3-6minutes for some of my games to load, and I have to refresh at least 3-4 times in order to play. When I do start to play it freezes frequently and I use escape to free it up. This has been going on for a month. I have no idea what to do. I am not very computer savy and I have been learning as I go.

Firefox crashes after few seconds

I have WIN 7 64bit , since last update i.e 33.0 version, i am facing a problem that firefox crashes after few seconds . I troubleshoot the same as mentioned on your site but it doesn't work ........
kindly help .......

We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Can you also try disabling hardware acceleration to see if that fixes your problem? You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window as follows:
#* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options''.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
If the above did not solve it, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)
[[Image:aboutcrashesFx29|width=520]]
<br><br>
Thank you for your help!
If you don't have enough time to go to that page and collect the crash reports:
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Whenever I open new tabs Firefox crashes and the browser window closes automatically.what will I do?

I am facing this problem since a month.I never faced this problem before.I always feel good to use Mozilla Firefox as my browser.I used to open multiple tabs in a same browser window.For example- in a tab I logged in to Facebook,at same time I might be downloading songs or something else or open another site in the other tab.It might be 2 or 3 tabs sometimes.But now a days,I am facing the problem whenever I open multiple tabs.Its unusual and so much annoying.The Firefox crashes and the browser window closes showing a messege to send an error report.Please Help me.
N.B. - I am using the Windows service pack 2.
RAM - 2 GB
Hard disk MEmory - 250 GB.

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

The beta page and Test Pilot page come up EVERY time I use Firefox. Same information so why not allow us to bypass it after the 1st or 2nd or 3rd reading?

That is not normal behaviour, for possible causes see [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]].

Firefox crashes after clicking icon

A couple of days ago firefox stopped working on my computer. (Windows 7, SP1, 64 bit) the issue is that the program crashes before it even opens. when you click the icon on the task bar, the box shows up around the icon showing that it is opening, but before any window opens, the box disappears and firefox doesn't open.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times.

Since loading the newest version, firefox crashes after a few hours of inactivity. Vista home is the OS.

Since loading the newest version of Firefox on my computer running Vista Home edition Firefox crashes after several hours of inactivity. If I leave the browser open and return in a few hours, Firefox hangs and a control/alt/delete pulls up "Firefox not responding" and I have to close the application. Upon opening it again I get the Firefox box of oops, do you wish to open a new session or return to the old one. This problem never happened in earlier versions. Also, you tout the newest version is faster - not so on my computer.

if you use vista, try install sp2, and if the problem still there , try google chrome 10.x to see whether it is better, sometimes these sort of problem only happen to some specific websites, and esp. during rush hours of internet, i.e. night hours from dusk to mid-night.

Why are my iphone4 apps crashing after the ios6 update?

I was very happy with the iPhone4 and it's performance until the iOS6 update. After the update, apps began crashing on my phone. Not just third party apps, Apple apps included. I went to the Genius Bar (very nice and attempted to help). After 3 hours spent trying to fix my phone, the determination was that I had a hardware issue. For $150, they replaced my iPhone4 with a brand new iPhone4. I then updated the software on the new phone to iOS6. After doing that, the phone developed the same problem as the old phone. It will crash in 3rd party and Apple apps. It will then work fine for hours at a time. There seems to be no pattern to the events. It doesn't matter whether I am on wifi or using 3g. I have restored the new phone after the problems started on it and they returned. Is anyone else having these problems? Is this some sort of virus? Does anyone know how to fix it? Failing that, does anyone know how I can get the old software back?

Here is what I did & my phone now works fine:
Ok. I went back to the apple store. They reloaded the IOS6 software from a computer they knew had a good version of the software and treated the phone as if it was a new phone. We did not back it up from my pervious backups. I then reloaded all the apps from the app store and not my computer. My phone is working great now. It appears I had a corrupted copy of the IOS 6 or a corrupted app that was causing the problem and it syncing just fine without the problem returning.

Firefox crashes after creating the default profile

Hi,
I'm using firefox in HP-UX 11.11. I see that when I open the
firefox for the first time and create a default profile the
firefox crashes with the following messages
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXt.sl
[Can't open shared library: libXt.sl]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXext.sl
[Can't open shared library: libXext.sl]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXm.sl
[Can't open shared library: libXm.sl]
What I'm missing?
When do we get the above errors.

Go to '''about:crashes''' in the address bar and copy and paste your crash reports here and I will determine what the problem is and what is causing Firefox to crash.

For the past few weeks when I place a bid on ebay, Firefox crashes. The bid goes through but I have to restart Firefox each time. I have sent a report each time and asked to be notified and as of yet I have not got a solution to this problem.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Firefox 4 closes the current tab when I close the laptop - why?

I've just upgraded to firefox 4. Now when I close the laptop the open tab disappears. This never happened with the older version.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes and [[Firefox crashes]]
Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to '''0''' on the '''about:config''' page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
