After I updated to Firefox Win8.1 begins to crash.

I had been using Firefox 26 on Win8 and it worked very well. I've updated to Win8.1 and now Firefox crashes all the time. The entire system freezes and help only turns off the computer.

Hello

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

Then perform the following steps:

  • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • All of a sudden, after a update of firefox, I get "this connection is untrusted" for Facebook, no matter if I use http: or https:, WHY?

    All of a sudden, after a update of firefox, I get "this connection is untrusted" for Facebook, no matter if I use http: or https:, WHY? Here are all the details of the error message:

    This connection is Untrusted

    You asked Firefox to connect safely to facebook.com, but we cannot confirm that your connection is secure.

    Normally, when you try to connect safely, sites will present a reliable identification to prove that you're in the right place. However, the identity of this site cannot be verified.
    What should I do?

    If you normally connect to this site without problems, this error can mean that someone is trying to impersonate the identity of the site, and you should not continue.

    This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox didn't connect safely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

    Facebook.com uses an invalid security certificate.

    The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

    (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

    (Also included a screenshot).

    You can check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click on the clock icon in the Windows taskbar.

    You can retrieve the certificate and check details such as WHO issued the certificates and the expiration dates of certificates.

    • Click on the link at the bottom of the error page: "I understand the risks".
    • Let Firefox recover the certificate: "Add Exception"-> "get certificate".
    • Click on the button "View" and inspect the certificate and the Coachman, who is the issuer.

    You can see more details like the intermediate certificates that are used in the Details tab.

    If you cannot inspect the certificate by "I understand the risks", then try this:

    Open the chrome URI by pasting or typing this URI in the address bar to open the window "Add the Security Exception" and to check the certificate:

    • chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.XUL

    In the field location type and paste the URL of the Web site

    • retrieve the certificate via the button 'Get certificate '.
    • Click on the "view..." button. "to inspect the certificate in the certificate display

    Check which is the issuer of the certificate.

    You can get more details like the certificate chain in the Details tab of the certificate display.

  • When you use hotmail, I can't join or send attachments. This has happened after recently update of Firefox.

    Hello. I've recently updated my Firefox on my Mac and I can no longer add or send attachments on my hotmail email account. When I compose a new message or press on answer, the bar/button fastening is visible, but it does not respond when the mouse is over it. When I try to send an email with an attachment, the transfer email is displayed but the attachment is not present. I can, however, open attachments are sent to me.

    I was able to fix before emails without problem, but have not been able to do since the upgrade of my Firefox browser. I followed a few older instructions that said to erase the recent cookies and cache, but that does not solve the problem.

    Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Solution!
    I had read that I needed Silverlight installed to run those (and apparently it was already installed)... but after not seeing it helps any, I disabled it on my Mozilla Add - ons... and NOW I can add attachments!

  • After that update to Firefox 8, the secure gold lock that appears in the corner, when signing to websites is gone

    Hi, I would like to know that when I sign in the Bank or other sites requiring a password that the site is secure. Firefox used to have a small lock gold down in the corner of the right hand to let you know that you signed in a secure site. After the upgrade to Firefox 8, that the lock is gone. How do you know if the page you log on is secure?

    The status bar is gone and the 'blocking' with her, from Firefox 4.0. Safety information on a web page are shown by the Site identity button.

    The former lock could give users a false sense that a site is safe to not to provide information to the site and showed that there is a secure connection that does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site identity button is introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete information of 'identity' for HTTPS web pages.

    Since the update to Firefox 6 I found that some Web sites a change upward to 5 minutes to load. The same websites load quickly on IE. I had hoped that Firefox 7 should solve this problem, but it happened. If there is no solution, I'll probably have to stop using Firefox.

    Why this link does not go to the IANA, rather than this site?

    Many people have found that setting the maximum number of connections to: config for a lower number has solved the problem of slow Firefox.

    my start page since always yahoo, after 33 of firefox updated itself, the page quite a bit bizarre, his yahoo but not as the ordinary classic. I can't seem to go back even when I cut and paste the web address off chrome or explorer, where the yahoo page looks like classic its normal self. WHY is it be changed in mozilla firefox 33?

  • Why Firefox tells me "another program is using the file" 1 hour after the update of Firefox, when I click on the desktop icon?

    It happened when I tried to update c. 16 to 17 as well. I had go it and download v. 18 and he told me that she had and he asked me to restart Firefox. I clicked on the "Restart Firefox" button. He closed Firefox 17. I waited an hour and no Firefox had begun. I clicked on the icon on my desktop for Firefox, and I got a window with "another program is using the file.

    The last time that happened, I had to uninstall v. 16, use Opera 12.12 to download version 17 and then installed, to have to set my preferences just a little and then I could start v. 17.

    Why update your program allows me to update, instead of downloading a new program?

    I'm on Windows XP SP3 and a very fast motherboard.

    Finally, I decided to check if my AVG antivirus or IOBit Malware Fighter software is interfering and I disabled them temporarily. I restarted and then turned off these programs and then opens Firefox. It was as usual, 17.0.1 version not updated. I went to help, on Firefox, click Find updates. Downloading updates, invited to restart Firefox, and after closing Firefox, I got the window that says that he was installing the updates, for the first time for an attempt to update to version 17 or 18. He installed the updates and restarted in fact without any problems.

    I was about to turn off all of my Add-ons for the next test. I never had to disable my AVG or IOBit before and they are the latest versions, too. AVG is the same version that allowed the update to v. 16 before. If something is different both Firefox 17 and 18, that it will not allow updates with AVG in force (or possibly IOBit Malware Fighter).

  • After the update to Firefox 17, when you click on the Add-ons menu, nothing happens. I can't access it at all.

    Hello JPV555, another user reported that tab mix plus can cause this problem - you have installed too? If so, please start firefox in safe mode, go to the addons - manager & keep the mixture to label more disabled until there is an update available for the extension.
