Firefox crashes when loading websites, freezes when I try to download any file and completely freezes when I try to access the Options menu. Help!

As he says, I had a difficult time with Firefox lately, and I think that it's corrupted. I tweaked the settings according to the suggestions on this forum and others like him, but they made the problem worse. I've updated to the latest version of the browser that has not helped, and I finally tried the "Reset Firefox" button, which was worse than anything. I lost my custom settings and Add-ons for nothing, the problem persists.

More frustrating is that it completely crashes whenever I click on tools > Options, so I'm not able to make changes to this new configuration. If I export my favorites safely, I will try to uninstall the browser and re - install an older version of it, but of course it now freezes when I try to export the bookmarks file.

Thus, apart from trashing it and starting over... any suggestions?

For the record, it's Firefox 28.0 (do not know what version it was the beginning of the sentence), and the window "On Firefox" said that it is up-to-date. I am running Windows XP.

Thanks for any help or enlightenment, you might be able to provide.

Hello

Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    • Windows:

      • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
      • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
    • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
    • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
    2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

Please report back to see if this helped you!

Thank you.

  • 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...

    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 during downloads, etc.

    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). I tried in Windows safe mode (before the reinstall) and the problem still occurred. Any suggestions?

  • Firefox crashes when I access my modules page.

    Firefox crashes when I access my modules page. I have to use the Task Manager to unlock it. Some addons (AdBlock) still work. Others (NetVideoHunter) do not have. I would like to delete all the Add-ons and to start over, to see if it makes a difference, but when I access my modules page press the button 'Delete', FireFox crashes - so what am I supposed to do? I love Firefox because it is simple and usually without glitch - until now.

    Hey furdeal - if you want a fresh start, you can simply reset firefox. This will keep your bookmarks, passwords and history, but will remove all extensions and custom preferences.
