  Seems that you don't have enough memory available, so if you use a virtual machine environment, then try increasing the amount of memory available to it.

• Cookies are deleted if Firefox closes unexpectedly

  I noticed that whenever Firefox is stopped unexpectedly (for example, if Firefox crashes, if there is a power failure or something else), all my biscuits seem to be deleted. When I open Firefox, the next time, my tabs are restored, but some cookies appear to have been recalled. There is no problem at all when I close Firefox normally.

  What could be the cause of this problem? Is there a way to solve it?

  Sounds to me the most likely unless there are other reasons like the use of 'Clear history of Firefox closing' or private browsing mode or other cookies (for example cleaning software) compensation.

• Then, Firefox crashes when I try to reopen, I get a message saying that it is already open and must be closed. It is not open and I can't shut it down and have to restart. It is very annoying, as often happens.

  Firefox closes unexpectedly so when I try to open it I get a message saying that it is already open and I first need to close. I can't find it anywhere open and then I have to restart to open Firefox again.

When I click to open it, a minimized screen appears with two 'new tab' button located in the upper part and the start of firefox tab page (3rd from the left).

  This hangs there for a few moments, then I get firefox crashed and had to close the message. What happened today at least a dozen times. It worked perfectly until this last updated and I had to download Google Chrome
  just to get in line... and it sucks. I really want to come back on Firefox... Please help. I tried to attach images/screen-dumpsters and file errors, but they do not load upward.

  Thank you.

• Now, Firefox crashes only all the time

  Firefox has slowed to a crawl... taken advice on the support page to delete and rename the file "places.sqlite" in Manager files in Firefox. Now Firefox only crashes all the time. guess my decision to go back to the Explorer was made for me... can not solve the new versions of FIrefox crashes, slowness, errors... now only breaks down and the "places.sqlite. old"file I saved is gone now, so cannot yet go back to it...

  Firefox does not work at all... ?

  Sorry to hear about the accident. If you get the Mozilla Crash Reporter form, your Firefox could have registered some data that would help to find the cause of the problem. You can submit these data to Mozilla and share with the volunteers of the forum to see if it points to the solution. Please check the support article "Firefox blocks - ask for help" to get the procedure to get these crash report IDs since the topic: block the page and then after the most recent here.

  Note: If Firefox is not stable enough to use the subject: page crashes, the article also describes how to check for submitted crash IDs disk report.

  Also, and/or at the same time, could test you mode without failure of Firefox? Which temporarily disables extensions, hardware acceleration, and a few more advanced features of Firefox that could make it more prone to crashing on some systems.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any less crashy?

• YouTube makes Firefox crashes

  When I run a youtube video after a while, firefox crashes.
  Sometimes, it's when I change position video on youtube.
  Sometimes, it's after I close the youtube tab.
  This happens even in safe mode.

  You can try to disable GStreamer support by setting media.gstreamer.enabled to false on the topic: config page to force YouTube to use the Flash plugin in case there is a problem with the media player of HTML5.

  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.

• Firefox crashes crashes on start

  It randomly started happening yesterday. I removed firefox itself, all the folders under program files, appdata, etc... Registry entries and I tried a clean install and it still occurs.

  Any suggestions?
  Firefox 41.0.2
  Win 7 Pro in a domain environment.

  I can confirm that the update of Invincea published in (bug 1219242) has solved the problem of Firefox crashing on the machine that this report was originally on.

• Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes

  Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes.
  I unintalled (on my MAC) and reinstalled twice. Makes no difference. Any suggestions?

  Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any improvement?

  While you are in Mode without failure, you could copy a list of your extensions and paste them into an answer? The best place for this is the support information page - either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  Scroll down to the Extensions section, and then select from there until the end of the following table with the mouse and copy. Then paste into a response. It may seem a bit messy but don't worry, we're used to it.

  In addition, if you check your homepage settings, he changed? This article explains where to find that page preferences: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

• Firefox crashes at the start even in safe mode

  Firefox crashes and makes internet Explorer and also chromium at startup. Chrome works however after reintallation, but may break after a reboot.
  It was produced after an update of the anti-virus (avast and avg) both demanded a restart of the computer.
  I turned off the antivirus and reinstalled the browser (latest version), but it still crashes.

  I think I solved the problem!

  It seems to be the new version of "protection avg: zen ', it is to play with all web browsers, is not search for viruses, closes the network connection and not to repair...
  So I removed it and everything seems to work normally...

  Should have known that avg was problem since all the headaches began after its update.

  Thanks for all the help!

• Ubuntu 15.04: firefox crashes, plugin-container using 90% CPU, 11 GB of RAM

  Once in a while (maybe once a week on average), Firefox crashes suddenly, and check the 'top' shows that the plugin-container uses 90% and more of CPU and RAM (I have 12 GB of RAM). So I kill firefox and when I restart, it works normally again.

  For extensions, I only LeechBlock (and changes of Ubuntu). For plugins I have Flash, Java, OpenH264 Video Codec and (apparently) iTunes application detector. Flash and Java are both updated.

  Because the problem somewhat rare occurrence, I was not able to reproduce, or to track down any kind of cause, but I thought he deserved the description anyway; a web search doesn't show anyone else reported the same problem.

  FredMcD not know if the OP was using Firefox on Windows and not on Linux as only your first link is applicable.

  The Flash Player and Java Plugins can be guilty. You must set them to "Ask to activate" so that they will work when you allow.

  I have a strong enough Linux system I find Flash Player setting to "Ask to activate" can still make a big difference as the Flash videos and ads will not play unless so authorized and I (i5 - 4690 k and 16 GB of Ram).
