Firefox crashes when double clicking on a particular bookmark toolbar button.

Every now and then I accidentally double click on one of my bookmarks toolbar buttons. It would hang Firefox (v 37.0.2) and required a force entirely to escape (OS X 10.10.3).) This happens quite often it became boring.

I eliminated this crash when I discovered I had a bookmark for "all bookmarks" entry in the bookmark button, I was clicking. It would seem that this probably caused an infinite loop? I removed the "all bookmarks" entry and Firefox no longer crashes.

It's kind of a nit-picking bug, but I thought I would realize it just in case someone else is as frustrated as I was.

I love Firefox, so "Keep up the good work" to the Firefox team.

It's kind of a nit-picking bug, but I thought I would realize it just in case someone else is as frustrated as I was.

The problem is that when you had a copy of "All bookmarks" in a folder "All bookmarks" you can create a loop forever in some of the editing operations, crash Firefox bookmark.

Because it crashes when you do this, the obvious solution is to not do this.

So, my intention was to point out that such an operation can cause a problem but I was not looking for a solution, because I simply won't. Given that I was not really a question, I think that it maybe wasn't the right place to make such a report.

In any case, now that I know what was causing my plant, I now turn to this problem is resolved.

  • Firefox crashes when I "show all bookmarks".

    When I click on "Show all bookmarks" then select Bookmarks unclassifiable, firefox hangs and eventually crashes with the open library window.

    This seems to happen every time. I use Firefox 5.0. I also tried in safe mode and the same result.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • 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.

    I recently had a new hard drive installed on my laptop and since then I had problems with Firefox crashing when the files are downloaded, when I try to change the download options in Options, when I have a lot of tabs open, etc. I scanned for malware with several different programs and I did a clean uninstall and reinstall of Firefox and the problem persists most (can download files sometimes now, but it hangs still at other times).
