Firefox crashes whenever I close

The distribution I use is Linux Mint 10 (julia)
Kernel 2.6.35 - 22-generic
GNOME 2.32.0
It's an old computer
CPU Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz
748 MB memory
I use Firefox Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint 1.0 11.0

Firefox has been working well and I had no problem until about 3 weeks ago.
Now, unfortunately, every time I close Firefox, I get a crash report.
After the crash report is sent to Firefox, then closes.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Firefox crashes whenever I try to play a YouTube video

    Hi all.

    I had an annoying problem since this morning.

A minute or so after that, I get a crash report and Firefox crashes. Here's the error reports generated since that began:

    It's only Youtube that gives me problems. I tried Twitch and Hulu and each site performed normally. YouTube seems to work very well since I was able to access it on Internet Explorer without any problem. I ran Malwarebytes and McAfee scans since this morning, but the two have developed own.

    Any thoughts?

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

    You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.

    You can check if there is an update for your display driver graphic card and search for hardware acceleration of related issues.

  • Firefox crash whenever I go on Youtube

    Hello. Here's the problem:

    Whenever I go on Youtube, Firefox hang and I do the thing (CTRL + ALT + CANC.) to close the browser. I know that the problem is releated to Flash from Adobe because when I disable it, Youtube works, but is there another solution? (I can look with adobe flash, video to youtube on other sites, such as facebook). I have the latest version of Adobe Flash/Shockwave/Firefox. The problem also affects Aurora. (If I open a youtube page and quickly open a new window, I can play the video, but if I go back to the youtube window, the problem appears again).
    PS: I can't find any article talking about it in the Mozilla page'support.

    Sorry for my bad English. Mario.

    The link is a page of information. You can try different settings of Firefox crash protection features. Please also try this: open the Control Panel > Flash Player, click on delete all and erase the data. This erase flash stored data and settings for sites such as allow, block etc.

  • Hi, my firefox crashes whenever I do a right-click on a favorite/bookmark toolbar. Is there a solution to this?

    Basically, that's all. Only, it crashes whenever I click right (IE. Do not answer).

    Bookmarks + history data are stored in the places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder. It may be damaged. You can try to remove it right out of Firefox. There is also a separate backup dated bookmarks in the Favorites folder and you can restore the last backup via Favorites (Alt + B) > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore after restarting Firefox. Otherwise you can also export bookmarks as HTML before you delete the file places.sqlite and later import bookmarks in HTML.

  • How can I fix Firefox crashing whenever I have many tabs open?

    I'll try to keep this short. I'm used to be a Firefox user for a long time... as he was released from first. I've always had problems with it crashing when given the many tabs open. I could not take more and jumped ship. After a brief period using Chrome, I decided to install the 31 version and try again.

    I still have the same exact questions. The problem has persisted through generations of computer with the increase in power and memory.

    Currently I am running an i7 4770 k with 32 GB of RAM and a GTX 770, SSD, etc.. I just installed Firefox yesterday after fed up with Chrome and some of its questions. Firefox crashed at about 6 - 10 times since then.

    I'm a heavy browser. I have normally accumulate tons of tabs open, more than 100 + tabs open at the same time (maybe more, I've never counted). I understand that this may use a lot of memory, but I have a ton of memory. My use of the system does not exceed 30% never, but Firefox crashes regularly. I'm actually a little surprised that it seems worse now that she has never in the past. It crashes, I restore and it will crash again in 5 minutes. I don't have any add-ons installed. I had Ad Block Plus briefly installed, but I uninstalled that, once these accidents have begun.

    What is Firefox, no Add-ons, no extra charges, nothing else to change its performance. It crashes constantly. It is perhaps just the last attempt before I'll look elsewhere.

    Hello, Yes, it looks like an accident of lack of memory (probably due to many tabs open). you could try a port 64-bit firefox who will be able to use all of the available memory: https://www.waterfoxproject.org/

  • 18.0.1 FireFox crashes when I close a tab

    Hello

    Firefox 18.1.0 18.0.1 crashes constantly every time I got close a tab.

    It gets very frustrating, I have been using FF for several years now and wouldn't have to find another browser. Any suggestions please.

    Edited 18.1.0 to 18.0.1 Firefox version number

    The accident for the first Crash ID report you furniture confirms that the problem is caused by Norton:

    https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/11f55616-9f0f-47b9-a163-a290b2130126
    Firefox 18.0.1 Crash Report [@ coffplgn.dll@0x3715 ]
    

    About the 783369 NEW Bug - Norton Confidential 2012/2013 crashes (couictlr.dll, coffplgn.dll)

    This discussion on the forums of Norton has more information, so read it through:

    A user has posted that he was able to disable the Norton Toolbar extension in the Add-ons Manager leaving completely the Firefox instead of use the restart button (if you see the Mozilla Crash Reporter, click "Quit Firefox") and then start fresh Firefox. Another user who simply disable Norton Safe Search posted has solved the problem. I do not use Norton products, but I found some information here). The good workaround may have to do with this Norton software you have installed and the version.

    If looks like a Norton fix for 2012 and 2013 products will be released the week of February 1, according to a post by Symantec employee Tony Weiss as of 25/01/2013 here: http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-18-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/886714

Please see the article "Firefox blocks - ask for help" to get the procedure to get these IDs crash from the very: page crashes (or the disc), then confirm the latest here.
