Ol Smoke Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I finally got tired of all the problems with IE11 on here and some other places, so I installed FIrefox. In the last two days, it started crashing all the time. Here is the error I get: It seems that no matter what program I try to run on here, I have trouble with them all. Quote
UAdave Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Launch FF, go to Help, Relaunch with addons disabled. Let that go for awhile and see if it crashes again. 2 Quote
Leader RedBaird Posted January 31, 2015 Leader Posted January 31, 2015 How long did it run OK before the last two days of crashes? I was wondering if your security programs were interfering with your browsers, but that would seem to block their access to networks, not crash them. Quote
DijitaL Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I had an issue of Firefox version 35 crashing on my XP machine constantly, I had to downgrade back to version 25 to keep that from happening. Type about:memory in the URL bar and try running the garbage collection and memory clean. Or you can visit about:healthreport in the URL bar and it will show some more information regarding the crash issue. You can also dive head into the Advanced/Expert settings by going to about:config in the URL bar. Also, if you do not want the crash reporter to ALWAYS pop up, you can goto the installation directory of Firefox and edit the configuration settings file called: application [Crash Reporter] Enabled=1 change to [Crash Reporter] Enabled=0 But without further information, this is all just speculation on what the problem could be. A virus or malware maybe? Corrupt internet cache files? Incompatible Firefox version based on your Operating system? ( Computer programs can be glitchy!) A few free programs you could try (I assume a windows OS) CCleaner - A wonderful internet cache/temp file and application cache file cleaner Spy Bot Search and Destroy - A great malware detection and removal tool. AVG Anti Virus - A free and well rounded antivirus/malware program. Edited January 31, 2015 by DijitaL Quote
Ol Smoke Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 It all started after I installed Bitdefender AV. So I got rid of that also. Got rid of IE 11 and I am now on IE8. It is compatible with FA site. I now have Microsoft Security Essentials and my other malware programs. So I should be okay. One weird thing. My desktop gadgets disapeared after installing Firefox. But they are back now. So this is where I am and probably where I will stay. I am so tired of IE problems and malware. All I wanted to do was copy and paste on the FA site. Quote
Ol Smoke Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Since I loaded Firefox onto my system and then removed it, it left behind problems in IE11. It won't pin to the taskbar anymore. Adobe quit working. Superantiadware quit. It is so slow, I could run to the website faster than it is working. Thank you very much Firefox. You giant POS. Quote
Elf Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Firefox cashes daily or weekly with mine Win7 too....I have done everything; disable add-ons to taken off Norton too bar....But sometimes it will crash after a load it to few times in a row... sometimes it does not crash for 2 weeks lol... I hate IE! So sometimes I will go with chrome to do my stuff, when it starts up again crashing like it does. Quote
Ol Smoke Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 I did a lot of research on Firefox during my problems and found that this last version is having problems. Several people said that the older versions were better. 2 Quote
Vanaraud Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I wonder what GPU-s do you guys have? FF used to crash my vid drivers also on AMD HD series. With new r9 I have had no such problems... Quote
