Firefox causes my computer to crash.
After a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on a new hard disk, I downloaded and installed Firefox. My computer is lock within seconds from Firefox. I had to reboot the computer to turn on. This confinement is also happened several times with Win 7 & Firefox on an old hard drive. I uninstalled Firefox, so I can use my computer. I ran Firefox for several years on Windows XP without any problem. How it works with Windows 7?
Guys, I think I solved the problem! I replaced the video card 8500GT card 8400GS yesterday and downloaded the 337,88 drivers. So far so good. No crashes/locks/gel. I appreciate your help! I guess we can close this one.

Recently I bought lightroom and a week ago, I used it to change lots of photos so not only crashed Lightroom, but it caused my computer down as well. I have a surface with load and 3 pro, I was able to restart it. However, whenever I try to open lightroom, it does not load and possibly the computer says it does not. I am desperate to change these images, but not sure what to do to get lightroom to restart. What would you recommend? I have version 6.0...
Hello
Please, go to the Windows, where Device Manager, expand display adapters.
Turn off the graphics card and open Lightroom, go to Lightroom preferences, then the performance tab, and then uncheck the option "use graphics processor.
Lightroom farm and go back to Device Manager and activate the graphic card.
Open Lightroom and then work in Lightroom and check if it works very well.
Kind regards

After the upgrade to Firefox version 29, the browser crashes every 30-45 seconds, about 15 seconds. [Windows Vista]
Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

Twitch.TV HTML5 player causing the video driver crash
Current video card is Radeon HD7800. This problem only appears when using Firefox to watch videos on the site of twitch.tv using the new HTML5 player. At the beginning all right, but there is gradual corruption of the firefox window. Text disappears, corrupt graphics and finally the leak of graphics corruption on windows or Aero, office causing a crash video driver and the restoration. This only happens with the jerk HTML5 player. All other sites work fine. The player also works very well in other browsers. IE9 and chrome have been tested. Firefox is the most recent version, and so are the video drivers.
I've had previous issues with suffers from a strange, unexplained, graphical corruption that have been patched out in new versions of firefox. It is the first instance when Firefox caused a crash of the complete video driver.
I get a Flash player on the half dozen I checked. How do you switch HTML5?

I uninstalled Firefox on my computer, then I reinstalled and tried to run, but this message appeared, "failed to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible"and Firefox does not open.
I tried press windows key + R on my computer and open %appdata%\Mozilla\ - and rename the folder labeled "Firefox", but he said that "the action cannot be complete because the folder or the file that is open in another program" I didn't open it and try to restart the pc, but still no help
A likely cause is a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
- Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\. - Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.
You can use one of them to make the Creation/use of a new default profile for Firefox:
- Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
- Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
- Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
- Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\

Now Firefox crashes for unknown reasons, it worked fine with the new computer installed with windows8 for about 2 months, then out of nowhere part, he began to break with every new search on the web, now adobe flash broke down so I deleted Firefox on my computer.
I searched your Web site to find answers, none of them address the issue at hand. I have Norton security, but it also worked well with Firefox for two months, so nothing has changed all of the updates are current and still Firefox no longer works.
It's sad because it was one of the best web browsers available.
but no moreThere is a problem on Windows 8 with Firefox 19 and AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphic display cards.
This issue is currently being addressed in bug 830531.
- Bug 830531 - [Win8] crash in XPC_WN_Helper_NewResolve mainly with AMD Radeon HD 6290/6310/6320/7290/7310/7340
If you have one of these graphics cards so the best is to stay with or downgrade to Firefox 18.0.2 for now.

With IE9 and Firefox, turn off computer and closing by itself
I see two possible causes:
- obsolete drivers graphics: Try to Start Firefox in Safe Mode and, if it works, Please update your graphics drivers or turn-off hardware acceleration.
- malware: Search for malware.
Please Update Firefox also.

Click right does not work with Firefox, which may be the problem is Firefox or my computer?
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

Try to perform the update of windows and try to install an update at a time and check
Restart the computer after the installation of each update.

The best advice I can give yo must remove Norton. It is a common cause of freezes and crashes. Use the uninstall program because it is very difficult to remove
Symantec is a common cause of BSOD.Use it to Norton 360 http://Symantec.pcperformancetools.com/Norton-360-how-to-uninstall.html -
Break the effect of causes After Effects to crash
Hoping someone can help me understand this problem. I created this rotation of the Earth in After Effects...
.

to the layer of Earth which has a CC sphere effect already added to it. I even tried to precompose that layer first, but it did not help.
My computer has 9.0 GB of RAM so I don't think that's the problem. I have CS4 v 9.0.3.8 any help would be appreciated.

Or just delete my settings and data in the Firefox folder that contains my profile only user on this computer, leaving the browser installed, but does not display my settings?
I want to assure you that all my settings and data will be always saved in my account of Mozilla Firefox, so that I can install the browser on a different computer and be able to connect to my account to see all my bookmarks, etc..
Nevermind, I figured it. Thank you.
For users having the same problem, I just uninstalled Mozilla Firefox from this computer went to the start menu and searched %AppData%, clicked on the "Roaming" and deleted the Mozilla folder. If it won't let you do this, make sure all the things Mozilla are closed and uninstalled. You can always sign in your Mozilla account on another computer or if you reinstall the browser on the same computer.
