16.0.2 Firefox crashes when you press browse to upload a file

Using XP Pro Firefox crashes whenever I press a browse button. I have to force close with the Task Manager. I tried to delete the keys of registry MRU such as suggested in a previous question closed, but that did not help.

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all the actions file.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

See "create a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

You can also try resetting Firefox:

  • Firefox crashes when you open no matter what context menu - Save as download window, window options, etc.

    This is the third time I had this problem with firefox...

    Firefox crashes when you try to upload images, files, etc. right click context menu opens (with bookmark, save the page, save the image, options etc) but after selecting an option, save the image or another, the real save as dialog box does not open and firefox crashes.

    say many pages open the download and clear history... I can't do that, trying to open the download hangs there, too. like, trying to open any what other dialogues.

    the first time that this has happened, the only solution I could find was a total wipe and re-install (simple uninstall/reinstall didn't work... it had to be weeded manually in the registry).
    the second time that I got just to rebuild my system, so I just do a fresh install on a fresh OS.

    This time I can't seem to solve the problem of uninstalling and re - install...

    Help?

    discovered what he was doing!

    After trying safe mode of firefox and safe mode of windows and any number of other things I gave a little upward for a bit there, but I woke up from a dream in the middle of the night thinking ' based on the conduct in question, it * must * be something in the shell that is the cause. " (Sorry, I dream of geek).

    so I grabbed a shell viewer editor - ShelleExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) (had to use a yucky, any browser to download) and gave him a race.

    I have listed all the extensions of the date they were added as a clsid and trying of think back to when the problem started... about a month or so, after a new system, reinstall. and through a little trial and error disabling, I found the culprit.

    It is an overlay Manager icon set by what is called WagerLogic. After looking into the company's name, I have to assume this was related to one of the annoying "just lost real money on our virtual casino" pop-ups that infest the net nefariously scenic for an easy mark as orphaned Dickens.

    I disabled it and voila! Firefox is still in full function.

  • Firefox crashes when you open new tab

    Crash-ID: bp-681f1751-fc5b-4f14-a30b-f93ed2150407

    I tried:
    Clean install (with the removal of C:prog... \Mozilla)
    Uninstallation and removal of extensions
    Firefox restarted in safe mode without addons/extensions.
    Uninstalling/updating flash/adobe

    Can I start firefox, but when I press on the "+" to open a new tab Firefox closes and the ' Mozilla Crash report ' window opens.
    It seems that firefox it self can open a tab. For example, when I do a new installation, Firefox opens with 2 tabs.

    But when I want to open one that it breaks down and Firefox stops. Its really weird because I've never run this kind of problem before and I don't remember installing anything new until this problem appeared.

    What is the setting of the new tab page?

    You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page.
    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):

  • Firefox crashes when you try to attach a file to gmail compose

    Laptop Vista 32. When you try to attach a file to a gmail account, compose explore dialog and then firefox crashes. Happens every time and began (I think) with the 16 or 17 years old version. Updated plugins, crossed of troubleshooting on the Help menu, I tried safe mode. All to nothing does not. IE works fine.

    After reviewing all services and startup programs using msconfig, I've isolated the problem to a conflict with Dell Media Center in starting. I deleted the software (preinstalled on your laptop) since I never use anyway, re-enabled the acceleration hardware Flash and deleted the line mode protected in the file flash cfg.

    NO MORE CRASHES when you try to attach a file to a message in gmail!

    Thanks for all your help - could not have corrected it without you.

  • Firefox crashes when you use Google as startup page

    Firefox crashes and gives me an error message general she had to close for some reasons.
    This only happens when I use Google as my home page.
    If I use another Web site as startpage all works well and I can go to Google from here and everything works.
    In short: FF hangs at startup only when you use Google as starpage, I see the Google page briefly and then crashes FF.
    I would really like any solution because I have always used Google start page and you want to keep it this way without having to start with i.e. altavista and go to google from there.

    This seems to be related to the new "doodles" with Olympic events. I hope that the problem will end this week.

  • Firefox crashes when I press the button clear cache. Please tell me how to fix this. Thanks in advance.

    Firefox uses a lot of memory and slows down considerably. I tried to clear the cache, but this browser caused from freezing. I rebooted, rebooted and upgraded to 5.0 with no improvement. Please notify.

    I have Firefox 6.0 running on Vista.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that the subprogramme which 'clears the cache', et al, has a incomplete, incorrect disposal problem, "in use" or "infinite loop" elements, such that it crashes when you try to do.

    After a few tries, I found that the best way to solve this problem is to do the following (it is easier than it sounds):

    (1) close all tabs of Firefox and Firefox windows

    (2) lance the Task Manager and stop all processes "Firefox" (i.e., it is possible that more than one may be running, even if you did all of the step (1)).

    (3) go to the folder Firefox cache, usually located in < system drive > \Users\ < your personal folder named > < something > \AppData*\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\. default\Cache and destroy everything that appears under this directory (n. b., you should not require administrative level to do this, if so, try to do this in 'Safe' Mode). {* AppData may be a "hidden" folder}

    (4) start Firefox, select Tools-> Options->
    Advanced-> network-> clear now.

    (5) close Firefox.

    (6) restart Firefox.

    Firefox ran faster after that I did.

    Good luck!

  • Alienware 15 'K' key crashes when you press any of the line

    Howdy,

    I have a little problem with my new laptop Alienware 15. Two weeks after getting it, I noticed that the key K tends to get stuck when you press any of the line. Basically, it remains in the pressed position and not coming back to the top unless I force it by inserting something like a needle under it.

    In the limited time, I used the laptop I have not stressed that special touch at all (just looked on the key combinations of the games that I've played so far and the K key was not used).

    Advice on what to do? I was thinking to get one of these cans of compressed air and blow air under the key and see if that solves nothing. A little scared to take a screwdriver and remove since who knows what I'm going to spoil. I would not have to send the laptop back just because one key is stuck and I hope it doesn't come to that.

    Thanks for any help.

    compressed air is a good choice, you can use a clean brush also (in my case I use both to clean my knees)

  • Sync Firefox crashes when you create a new account

    I am trying to create a Firefox sync for my girlfriend account. Anyway, whenever we try to create account, Firefox Sync page still blocked after email and the password are filled and the page shows only 'Treatment' and turns a blue circle at the bottom of the page.

    We have tried on 3 different computers (current running Windows 10) with the same result. We tried another e-mail (Gmail first, was second Yahoo) and waited about 5-6 minutes per hour, but no response has been given by the page. We tried to add/no add information about age, but it does not affect the account creation process. Firefox systems are still running.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi fra55, unfortunately this is currently a known issue in firefox 50 when you set the browser to run in permanent private browsing mode ("remember never history ' in the options > confidentiality Panel). Firefox developers are working to get this fixed in versions to come yet... Confidentiality, and-not-track browsing history settings

  • Windows Explorer crashes when you open any folder with MPEG2 files.

    WinXP SP3 - When you open any folder with MPEG2 files, windows Explorer crashes. If the folder contains only the MPEG1 files, it opens without a problem. We first thought it was a problem of media player, but we can not even click on a file to open it in media player.

    Hi kathyd,.

    ·        You did changes to the computer before this problem started?

    Since we do not know what is causing this problem, I'd suggest unanimous the event viewer on your computer and check the details in the window logs messages/error codes important related to the question, during the time where this problem occurs and after return.

    Event logs can help you identify and diagnose the source of current system problems or help you predict potential system problems.

    Access the link below to learn how to view and manage the event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/event_overview_01.mspx?mfr=true

    You can try to start both computers in safe mode and check if it can open the folder where the MPEG 2 files are stored and if windows Explorer crashes. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

    I hope this helps. Post back with the required information.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Firefox crashes when I pressed the Browse button to upload files

    Windows 7 x 32 Firefox 10.02 the program crashes constantly when I press the Browse button (such as gmail attachments, virustotal programs and so on.)
    PS I've already eliminated the registry problems and attempted to delete MRU registry, such as mentioned in this topic: https://support.mozilla.org/ru/questions/754368#answer-105628

    Cor - el will no doubt come with suggestions. I will list the accident report Details incase they help someone. The accident occurred when a component associated Windows is in use. Have you ensured you have no background task running, and no unnecessary plugins Firefox are running.

    No reason to expect to be directly related, but a previous incident with the same signature took place when bookmarks were used, and the solution in this instance was:

    I found out that an option in Microsoft File Explorer caused the crash.
To solve this:
- Go to "Organize"
- Choose "Folder and search options"
- uncheck "Automatically expand to current folder"

     Now Firefox won't crash again!

    Your reports for s CrashID all have the same signature

  • Firefox crashes when you open windows close

    Hello

    Since updating to the new Firefox 18.0.1 every time I try to close a few open windows Firefox crashes. I would be reading my mail and after having about 10 open windows I go and check on the X to close the windows. I can close about five to seven of them with no problem but when I have about three of them left Firefox crashes. It is very annoying. I used the Firefox Safe Mode feature and this problem does not happen while in Safe Mode. I don't know what the next step is to fix this problem. Could you please help. Thank you

    If there is no problem in safe mode, this means that one of your "Add-ons" are the source of the problem and no 'plugins '. You will need to disable your "Add-ons" one by one to find the culprit. If you have Norton Toolbar 2012/2013 then that may be the one causing the problem if not it is an Add on the origin of the problem.
