Firefox hangs my computer everything.
Recently (only Started This year) Firefox was blocking my computer while forcing me to do a hard restart. I am beyond upset at the moment. Barely able to type my sentences and... for those of you who tell me to calm down. I lost hours of work in this, and not to mention it can royally screw up my computer. Is why Firefox now all of a sudden crashing my computer? After using it for 6 years and never had a problem, why now? What's the matter with you developers do a browser web I THOUGHT was the best. I can hardly control my rage, Firefox is the only web browser that functions properly when it does not crash my computer everything. I have a new installation of Firefox, addon, only I have AdBlock Plus. My computer is not some shit computer running Windows XP. I'm a graphic designer and need a good computer to run the programs I need, that's all what you need to know about my computer record. I have NO viruses, NO malware. So what's up, Firefox? Finished my rants. If anyone can fix in fact I'd be surprised.

Could you try disabling the use of Firefox graphics acceleration hardware? Sometimes a driver update will expose an incompatibility that causes serious problems.
You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced
In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.
If you restart Firefox, is the problem solved (or at least enhanced)?
Also, disable the safe_mode of Flash Player.
See this article from Adobe support under the heading of 'Last resort': Adobe Forums: how to fix protected Flash Player for Firefox mode?

Cookies from Firefox make my computer freezes &; must be reseeded
Firefox no longer works on my machine (Windows 8.1), he opened in tabs I used last, but there is no picture displayed and the computer froze, making it necessary to restart by pressing the button. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't make any difference, so I uninstalled and just started using Chrome (no problem). When optimizing my computer using CC Cleaner, he stopped trying to erase the "Firefox Cookies", also freeze my computer everything and makes it necessary to restart by pressing the off button. I tried to reboot in safe mode, but the same things happen. Please tell us how to locate and delete cookies from Firefox. Thank you
It might be simpler to delete all cookies from Firefox completely by removing the data file which is the holder. Firefox will make a new.
Wouldn't it be better if you actually need save one of these cookies, but it sounds as if you want to clean them all.
If you have Firefox:
Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
- (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window showing the various folders and files.
Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:
- "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
- (menu bar) File > Exit
Break while Firefox finishing his cleaning can remove cookies.sqlite
If you do not have Firefox:
Copy the following text and paste it into the search box in Windows, or the Run dialog box (available on the start page of Windows 8.1 lower with all the small icons) or in a window of Windows Explorer address bar and press ENTER:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
You can have a folder named semi randomly here, or you might have several records. In the case of multiple, repeat the operation if necessary.
Click on the folder and delete the cookies.sqlite

Or just delete my settings and data in the Firefox folder that contains my profile only user on this computer, leaving the browser installed, but does not display my settings?
I want to assure you that all my settings and data will be always saved in my account of Mozilla Firefox, so that I can install the browser on a different computer and be able to connect to my account to see all my bookmarks, etc..
Nevermind, I figured it. Thank you.
For users having the same problem, I just uninstalled Mozilla Firefox from this computer went to the start menu and searched %AppData%, clicked on the "Roaming" and deleted the Mozilla folder. If it won't let you do this, make sure all the things Mozilla are closed and uninstalled. You can always sign in your Mozilla account on another computer or if you reinstall the browser on the same computer.

It will not open in past just zilch Mode safe! Nothing I've tried has worked. I've deleted and reinstalled Firefox, it but the same happens immediately.

I uninstalled Firefox on my computer, then I reinstalled and tried to run, but this message appeared, "failed to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible"and Firefox does not open.
I tried press windows key + R on my computer and open %appdata%\Mozilla\ - and rename the folder labeled "Firefox", but he said that "the action cannot be complete because the folder or the file that is open in another program" I didn't open it and try to restart the pc, but still no help
A likely cause is a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
- Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\. - Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.
You can use one of them to make the Creation/use of a new default profile for Firefox:
- Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
- Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
- Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
- Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\

After a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on a new hard disk, I downloaded and installed Firefox. My computer is lock within seconds from Firefox. I had to reboot the computer to turn on.

Firefox blocks the computer (/ questions/963963)
Hello!
I have a problem with Firefox H/W acceleration on my PC. When enabled, firefox hangs my system in the least expected moment (usually when I move my mouse just and stationary/point a link). I don't quite know what to do, because I love Firefox and there addons Firefox without H/W acceleration is just slow as molasses in January (especially on the sites AJAX and HTML5, it lags even during scrolling site).
Well... turn off the H/W acceleration seems to be the solution, but the work isn't as comfortable.
I have not noticed crashes during IE11 H/W acceleration enabled, and I couldn't check it out in Chrome just because I have not installed.My specs:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
CPU: Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 460
RAM: 16 GB DDR3Try the pref gfx.content.azure.enabled set to false or if this does not help disable Direct2D by setting the pref gfx.direct2d.disabled true on the subject: config page and leave hardware acceleration enabled otherwise.
This way you still have the advantage of hardware acceleration, but can not suffer rendering problems.

(1) you really have to make it easier to contact support. Get rid of password requirements!
(2) I would copy safely Firefox from one computer to the other. I don't want to download from the internet. Really, we love and use firefox. I had to remove firefox because it came with the virus of Babylon.If you have been Babylon when you installed Firefox you may have installed it from an authoritative source (the only official place and secure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comEast). Please, never download Firefox from anywhere else.
So, for your computers, be sure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comand you download the version official, convenient and safe.
If you get Babylon on your computer, you can remove it easily without having to remove Firefox by reading How to remove the toolbar of Babylon, home page and search engine (Please note that Babylon is not affiliated with Firefox and we actively seek to solve these problems).
