Firefox crashing after update - error mswsock.dll?

Since I updated to Firefox 29, several accidents have occurred. No matter what I do or what I am on the page, it happens more than 10 times in 5 minutes. The number of accidents is crazy. http://i.imgur.com/RQVjZ0m.PNG

I tried to uninstall and reinstall fees. I tried to disable all addons and extensions. I've updated my drivers on my computer and all extensions for firefox. I've updated all my anti-virus and anti-malware programs. I tried to create a new profile for firefox. I turned off hardware acceleration. Nothing works.

Firefox crashes even in SafeMode! I am at a loss at this time, and I tried to find a way to solve this problem for days.

Watch one of my crash reports, I found that the same file, 'mswsock.dll' is everyone.

I have tried scanning that file with all anti-virus software, and nothing flags it. A quick google search showed that this file is causing multiple people to have the same crash I am having.

I talked about https://community.mcafee.com/thread/36486 and it helped me.

I'm so tired, please someone help me.

Five most recent crash reports:

guigs2/dribblet,

So I pourrait have understood what is happening. On the bug report, it indicates that the deactivation of media.windows - media - foundation.enabled would relieve this crash report. Curious about this, I checked to see if a pref existed. He did not. Of course, I was running nothing else than to the pre-commercial versions of Firefox (nightly, Aurora) and I couldn't find the darn pref.

Guess what? 29.0.1 has it.

  • Firefox keeps crashing after update this morning

    Turned my work computer on and firefox had an update for today. Updated and since then it will not start. It will only crash upon restart it hangs again and send a report. Tried to go to safe mode, but it keeps crashing.

    Here are a few reports of incidents

    BP-1d2e3290-E3A8-4a22-AC56-4afab2140903

    Really frustrating as this my work computer with all my passwords and links saved to it.

    You may have to reinstall Firefox 31 temporarily until someone figures more information about this particular crash signature.

    To properly replace your program files Firefox 32 (without affecting your settings):

    (1) this section has a link to get the installer: install an older version of Firefox.

    (2) rename the folder (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (3) run the installation program that you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    It starts and runs correctly?

    If so, one note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

    Otherwise: We were looking for an issue or in the folder of the external/malware software settings.

  • 36.0.4 Firefox crashes after the release and I can't uninstall it

    I am running Win XP on a 32-bit computer. I have Firefox installed 36.0.4. After I got out of Firefox some time later, I get an error message saying Firefox crashed.

    I have tried to uninstall it from the control panel of configuration/Add Remove Programs, but when I select Mozilla Firefox and delete, nothing happens.

    How can I remove Firefox from my PC, so that I can then update with a newer version?

    If it does not work. Try these:

    • Start > run > type regedit
    • Then go to HKey_Local Machine or Hkey_Current User
    • Scroll to the software on two people.
    • Search Mozilla and you should see Firefox. Delete all files of Firefox, you see.

    Update your security related software Trusteer report . If this doesn't help not try to disable or uninstall. The Trusteer report software is likely to need updating for each new version of Firefox, but can't always update automatically.

    Trusteer is apparently aware of the problem and try to get updates.

    Please report about how you will.
    It may be interesting to know exactly what that software and the version is that you are having problems with and then the version that is updated and hopefully that solves the problem.

  • Firefox crashes after I open a new tab

    Hello
    My Firefox crashes whenever I open a new tab (empty). The same phenomenon occurs in safe mode. Here are links to some of the latest crash reports:

    What could be wrong?
    Thank you.

    You might try using a new profile. It might be hard to go at least a whole day without your pets addons, bookmarks, and history... the bookmarks are fairly easy to copy.

    Create a new Firefox profile

    This is in addition and does not replace your existing settings.

    A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also come with fresh data bases of completely fresh settings and a cache folder.

    Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run) - type or paste the following and press ENTER:

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Do not delete anything here.

    Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    Click on the button to create a profile, assign a name like April8 and ignore the possibility of changing the location of the folder. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

    It might take some time to determine if the new profile works better than the old. If you want to import your Favorites from your regular profile in the meantime, here's how:

    You can use the dialog library (Ctrl + Shift + b or "Show all bookmarks") to access the restore feature. The trick is to know where to find your bookmark backups in your regular profile. After clicking on file... you can paste this into the space of file name and press ENTER to drill down to your profile folders:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    The semi-randomly-named folder that has your last backup is generally the one that ends with "failure". Click in that one, and then in the folder bookmarkbackups . Here you can choose the most recently updated to restore file.

    Important: restoring a backup bookmark clears all bookmarks currently in your current Firefox profile and replaces it with the contents of the backup file.

    In my view, it is also reasonable to install AdBlock Plus, Restorer of classic theme, and Status4Evar, like those who, by themselves, are not likely to be at the origin of this apparently rare problem. But I wouldn't add all your extensions to the time in the new profile, and if many show extensions system installed, you can disable those you don't actually use.

  • Firefox crashes after startup

    Hello
    I've updated to Firefox 8.0 today. When we ask him to do, I disabled an add-on (ICQ Toolbar). Since then, Firefox crashes immediately after opening. I can't even try and see if it boots up in safe mode, because I do not understand this measure. I hope you can help with this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

  • MAX crashes after update to SP1 SMU-8381 Suite 2015 in SMU-1082 chassis

    MAX version 15.3 and 16.0 crashes after selecting the devices and interfaces. System ran fine with LabView 2014 suite. Also hangs after trying to generate a report. NO report or error log to share.

    Service request #7500455

    Problem solved. I had 2 questions.

    (1.) the USB-845 x update was not on the final distribution, the latest version to clear an incompatibility problem.

    (2.) the FAM 6584, I had was defective. The only way to detect has been by opening a project reference, and then tap properties/status to show the FMA was defective.

  • Windows 8 crashed after update - dual-boot

    Hello all, I installed Kubuntu in dual-boot with Windows 8 (not 8.1) a weeek ago and both ran correctly. I've used Windows later than yesterday, and... Update! Win partition crashed after the auto with the Lenovo logo and 6 balls turning constantly.

    I tried to use Boot-Repair, but it did not solve my problem.

    An error occurred during repair.

    Please write down the following URL:

    http://Paste.Ubuntu.com/9044826/

    In case you are still having a problem starting, enter this address to:

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    You can now restart your computer.

    The start-up files [the operating system currently in use - 14.04.1 LTS Ubuntu] are far from the beginning of the disc. Your BIOS can't detect them. You can try again after you create a partition/Boot (EXT4, > 200 MB, beginning of the disc). This can be done via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [separate/boot partition:] [Boot Repair] option. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)

    I don't know how to read these newspapers, and I kindly ask someone to read it and to tell me something. Also, I did not understand the last paragraph, sorry.

    I have an image of Windows Backup in the case and a CD of Rscue to win. He ran, but I wasn't sure of its possible 'reaction' to the presence of GRUB. is it likely to create problems for my startup parameters? I heard that he is likely to erase everything on my HD

    THINGS THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT:

    -Boot-Repair is set to "Secure starting" (checked under "advanced options"), but is not my UEFI/BIOS.

    -analyzing sda4 you notice the presence of boot.ini, it has not been deleted after revenues of bootmgr?

    Hi Max,.

    Using the restore disc, we can format Windows and we will be able to format the partition. However formatting Ubuntu can contact Ubuntu support forums http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/support/ubuntu-forums/ since they will be able to guide you to the best.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Adobe Flash crashes after update 07/09/14.

    I updated Adobe Flash a few days ago (9/7 if I'm not mistaken) and since that time Adobe Flash frequently stops working and constantly crashes in Firefox (about 15 times according to my function of crash report) - showed a dialog screen that says it stopped operating and questioning if I want to continue to use the card or stop it.

    (I specifically have defined Flash on manual download to understand such things as the last time something like this happened after an audio Adobe update stops on Youtube - and it was a problem from Adobe.)


    The Firefox forum has a long thread on this current problem... trying to figure out if it's Firefox - but I think it's maybe Adobe (as it was in the case of Youtube).  May I recommend Adobe to install a 'feedback' accident site after updates to so that you can find these more fast - if they really are from Adobe?  The problem of Youtube took nearly two weeks to fix and I think it's because you didn't know.

    Thank you...   If you have another answer that would be great - in the meantime I will continue to use Chrome until I get a reply...


    p.s. I already turned off protect mode and hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if that helps.  This isn't.

    We shipped a new version yesterday.  It might be useful to update.

    That said, if you could provide links to submitted incident reports, I'd be happy to take a look.

    Go about: crashes

    If the link does not start with "bp", click on the link submit accident report

  • Firefox crashes after closing any window.

    I have this problem that firefox always stuck at like 20 seconds every time when I close another window of firefox. I usually have several firefox windows open at the same time. When I'm near one of them, the rest of them get stuck seconds before they can do anything, sometimes fell (not common). I see that firefox crashing usually has to do with some windows of firefox were running online video, like youtube or others. It can be any advertising on a Web site that is in the form of moving images. But crashing isn't really common. Just stuck everytime when I close a window of firefox among others.

    I thought it was because my computer is old but Internet Explorer doesn't have this problem on my computer. I even downgraded firefox to version 28 ( I used to have the latest, 36?) That did not solve the problem. I am running on windows 7. I would like to keep using firefox because it allows add-on so I don't want to switch to IE. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.
    

    Take all your suggestions, I updated Adobe flash player. Checked, but there is nothing to update on the graphics card. Check the extensions you mentioned (and disable and enable as suggested), okay, once I have disabled this "dictionary tooltip 1.7" extension, firefox works great. Any delay to the closure of firefox windows more.

    (But the adobe flash player update seems to be a bad idea. Now Firefox, in general, is a bit slower running more often. "But I tell myself that I can still downgrade flash drive and it does not seem to cause a problem with firefox running on my computer). In any case, should I disable this "dictionary tooltip" to solve this problem?

    AW, too bad. I looked hard for a good add-on English Dictionary. I am a stranger and really need a dictionary English somple surf any website. More English dictionary add-on is too fancy. Click on the word and it will be displayed as, that you want you, dictionary, thesaurus, or something else, or what dictionary you want your definition of etc.

    I want just an add-on of simple English dictionary that will give me a definition right now. With this fancy add-on dictionary, my clicking on a single page, double or triple. It's really bad when I have to click 20 times, becoming now forty times (or sixty times) just for a single page. If suggestions about this simple English dictionary add-on is there someone?
