Firefox hangs at startup: update / reinstall / profile wipe / purge addon has not set

Similar Questions

• Firefox used to work fine until last week, now hangs at startup - have reinstalled, tried to uncheck hardware acceleration - not fixed.

  Until the week last Firefox coasted reasonably little pop-up (windows 10), now it crashes immediately. I reinstalled, ticked hardware acceleration (it starts in safe mode), but is not fixed. Any ideas?

  Thank you, looking at these reports, it seems that this may be caused by external software on the computer. go to control panel of your system and remove any software marked 'Freecorder"or similar, or by the Publisher"Applian Technologies"or any other toolbars.

• Firefox crashes on opening even in safe mode, so I can not set all the parameters - Crash ID: bp-6c9dc360-32db-4a34-968b-9474f2121230.

  I have a windows 64-bit computer that is running Windows 7. In recent months, Firefox has been crashing on opening - opening occasionally on the profile of my husband, but not mine. I now use IE9 running as administrator but would prefer to use Firefox.
  I can't adjust the settings, plugins etc that I can't open the program at all. After the first attempt, I go to the Task Manager and stop firefox.exe. Then when my next attempt to open I get the error again. I sent off the coast many reports of incidents at Mozilla.

  Hello
  I found my profile.ini for Firefox file by using the information in your message *http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file. There were 2 profiles in the ini file, so I deleted one and kept the other one who had the same name as the folder profile and saved the ini file. Bingo-test - Firefox works! I think the graphics card driver update helped also that IE works properly now as well.

  Thanks for your help.

  I've just updated firefox and now it crashes every time I try to open it. Even in safe mode.

  This looks like a problem with the garbage collection (GC).

• Firefox hangs at startup; not extensions, any new profile

  Even after a clean installation (removal of all extensions/plug-ins and previous profile settings), 7.0.1 Firefox still does not work in accordance with its normal operating characteristics.

  Immediately after double-clicking on the icon, the Crash Reporter says that a failure has occurred. Alternatively, safe mode does not correctly either.

  Any ideas?

• Firefox hangs at startup, or starts a process but does not open the browser.

  In the last few days, Firefox has had many problems.

  When I open it, the window hangs and crashes after a few seconds, if it opens at all. Other times, trying to open Firefox simply won't open the window, but will leave an additional process running in the background that I have to manually shut down via the Task Manager.

  I did a fresh profile. I restarted Firefox. Already got hardware acceleration checked and disabled. still having the same problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times. I ran a scan of my system with Malwarebytes; nothing detected. It is not even a newspaper of the accident. I looked through the support forums, found people with problems similar to mine, but no solution posted for them for some time last month.

  Firefox seems to operate normally if a version 21 installation, which opens toward the top of the browser window. Everything works fine, until I got close the browser and then reopen it.

  Just out of curiosity, this behavior (suspended the launch after a Windows Update) would be a registry problem? If so how could we check?

  Hmm. I think it's nice that my post is a chosen Solution. Now, if someone could just tell me what is the solution... :))

• Firefox hangs at startup

  Hello
  My %APPDATA%\microsoft\windows\sendto file specifies the id of the accident report is:
  Crash ID: bp-33827730-989e-4aeb-99c5-79b652151003

  Basically, my Firefox and Internet Explorer crash at startup. I know that it is certainly linked to a virus I got earlier today. My avast protection couldn't handle it so I downloaded the free version of AVG, and seemingly killed. I suspect that maybe some files have been vaulted that were needed to start the browser or something? Or it may have been some damage caused by the virus?

  I know that's not your area of expertise to know everything about the virus/malware, but if there are clues in the crash report as to what is the cause then maybe I can follow this path from that moment that I have nothing to go out of.

  Thank you very much

  Update: I had this problem to be solved, woot!

  I did it by starting my computer in mode "Startup Repair". I tried to get my BIOS at startup but got on the screen somehow (image be attached)

  After that I got to my home screen I also ran CCleaner and used their 'register' disturbances in case the problem was there.

  One of these two (or both) did the trick. Thank you all for your answers also. I hope this helps others as well.

  My OS: Windows 7 Premium
  Firefox: The latest version. New installation made no difference.

• Checked "Empty the Cache on exit" in Firefox 25. Now it hangs at startup. Is there a way to disable this setting apart from Firefox?

  Yesterday, I decided to check the 'Clear Cache leaving' parameter. This morning I couldn't start Firefox. It hangs and stays like that. I saw another post somewhere on this same issue. I created a new profile and it worked well. He's just stuck when I try to use my old profile. It doesn't work in either safe mode. Y at - it anyway to disable this option outside of Firefox.

  I also tried without downgrading to 24 and upgrade to the beta 26. None worked.

  You can check for problems with preferences.

  Rename or remove the file prefs.js and numbered possible prefs-# .js and the file user.js to reset all default prefs.

  You can try to clear the cache manually on the disk.

  It is best to avoid using external programs to clean your Firefox data and use integrated means that Firefox instead.

• Firefox hangs at startup on Android Tablet

  We have almost 600 Android Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 with 16.02 installed Firefox. Starting last night, almost every one of them is to get a Firefox crashed message at startup. We tried to upgrade to 18 years, but this does not solve it. So far, the only thing that we have found to fix it is to delete the application data, which in turn clears all settings and bookmarks.

  At that time, an uninstall and then install the back is the resolution. Thank you for your patience.

• Firefox crashes on startup in normal mode and safe mode does not start reset mode

  using 26.0 FF
  using windows 7 Home premium v 6.1 (last)

  My problems started after the loading of 26.0 FF. If I start FF in normal mode it crashes. Same thing when I boot in safe mode. I close FF (while it's hanging) by clicking on the X in the upper right.

  When I launch FF in safe mode and click Reset FF, it crashes without FF never appear. I have to stop it using the Task Manager. Off mode reset, I can launch FF in normal mode and everything works fine. However, stopping FF does not close it. I have to use the task of the Manager close. Then I'm at square one when you try to start FF, i.e. reset firefox, crashes, Task Manager, stop, then start FF.

  When FF is on, I can open a new window of FF. All my addons are up-to-date. I reinstalled FF 26.0, three or four times.

  I deleted the cache and cookies.

  I scanned for viruses and rootkits etc. with microsoft security essentials and spybot.

  I've been a happy user of FF for over ten years and have never had a problem like this. Any help will be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  I think that I fixed it, it gives a trial because he has started to do this on my two PCs.

  Go to Options > general tab > start switch / "Show a blank page" and the charges of all good. What I used was 'Show my home page' which is the default page of Firefox with the Logo of Fox and history, Favorites and other options at the bottom.

• Two problems: 1: there is no Mozilla or Firefox folder in the start menu;. 2: when I said 4 FF to return by default, I had all the features of FF 3 instead. I reinstalled the browser, but that has not helped. Advice would be much appreciated.

  Two problems:

  1. when I said Firefox 4 to return to the default toolbar, he returned to v. 3. I reinstalled v. 4, but that did not help.

  2. I tried to open it in safe mode and discovered that there is no Mozilla or Firefox folder in my Start menu.

  I'm the home runnint Windows 7, 64-bit.

  1.
  
  The orange Firefox button appears when the menu bar is hidden. Turn off Bar Menu item in view > toolbars or from the context menu for toolbars.

  2.
  
  You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  
  Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
  
  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox to open it again.

• Firefox says need to update Adobe Flash, but Adobe Flash has no update for Mac OS 10.8.5. What should I do?

  I have Mac OS 10.8.5. Firefox said no need to update Flash. Looks like Flash was last updated is 23.0.0.207. I have 23.0.0.185. Adobe does not have a Flash update for Mac OS 10.8.5, only for the OS 10.9 forward. What should I do? I would like to continue to use Firefox with success. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

  There is a somewhat confusing thread on the Adobe on MacOS X 10.8.5 support forum:

  "While we have abandoned support for OS X 10.8 did not block us installation on this version." Flash Player will install again. " https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2222384

  Then... I think it makes sense to go to the page "other versions" and say you have a later version of Mac OS and try to install this way:

  https://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

  It work?

• All my addons have been deleted and lost. Even backup has been removed in the latest update of FF. Now addons will not appear and add on bar does not appear. How to fix?

  All the Addons are missing after a recent update of FF. Backup also failed. How the hell that happened? made me? Went back to recharge add on extensions that I needed to use. However, add it to the toolbar does not appear. Tried restoring add on extension of tool bar. Now I add it on the toolbar in the verified Tools menu that was not there before. However, add it to the toolbar doesn't show always upward. Custom selection is worthless because it does not show that the extension add ons. I can check the extensions downloaded in add it menu and they are activated. However, they are not work or appear as it should!

  It is a bigger problem than the simple click here or there.

  I would say definitely go for the clean reinstall of Firefox. Your problem is obviously much more complex then just a misconfigured setting or something. When you updated Firefox, something may be wrong. The instructions are in the post 5.
