Firefox uses memory quickly within minutes of the opening, then crashes

I did the thing of disabling modules, doesn't seem to work. I have a similar set up on my laptop and it works perfectly, as I tried to reinstall firefox.

And a step easier than to create a new profile for Firefox is to first try Firefox Reset. It's easy to save your data and solves a lot of problems with a single click. I'd give it a try before anything else

To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
  2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

  • Firefox uses my specified windows Win7 and the style of the toolbar

    I am running Win7, but have the style of window, the 'Classic' value, i.e. no aero or whatever it is. Just a simple blue title bar, any other area header in gray, as the default theme in Win-98/Win-NT/Win-2000. Suddenly after a few Firefox-automatic update to 29.0.1 the toolbar at the top of the page "file edit etc" is in a strange bluish color and the same with the tabs.

    I expect Firefox to use EXACTLY the general Windows theme that I've specified in Win7, not to invent other colors. This is the main idea with specification of a theme, for all applications on the same topic. How can I control Firefox to apply the theme to Windows?

    Hi eplgh,
    Please check the title bar customization in the Menu with three horizontal lines. This is alternate tabs to have their own color once again.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why Mozilla Firefox uses Google as their search on the web if Google stores everything we look for?

    Why Mozilla Firefox use Google as their search engine if Google stores everything you are looking for and tracking what you do online? I have nothing against Firefox, I wonder why.

    This partnership is as old as Firefox itself, but each user can use any search engine they cars not to use - no reason, you should use Google simply because it is the default in Firefox.

    The search engines in the search bar can be removed.

    The search engine used in the Awesome Bar can be changed through subject: config.

    The search engine on the subject: home page can be changed, although not as easily as with the Awesome Bar.

    As to 'why', who knows? When Google offered to help Mozilla with financial support through their search engine is the search engine by default for Firefox, Mozilla had to say no to something that any other search engine is also at this time?

    Firefox is currently only available as a 32-bit application, if you need 32-bit versions of plugins.

    This machine is in a House as a network printer. We have a Mac with OS X and a windows with Win 7 64 bit home premium machine. The printer has worked for a year or two - no problem. Recently, we have moved from a cable modem and a Linksys N router to modem-router Verizon 4 G. Not sure if the calendar is in correlation with the modem/router switch. The problem is that if unused for a while (minutes at least) the printer hangs on a regular basis. Start button / stop does not work. touchscreen is inadmissible. cannot communicate with computers. If I reboot by pulling and then reinstalling the power cord, we'll be back to works fine. no problem with the guilty doctor HP print and scan software. Latest firmware is installed.

  • Computer crashes a few minutes after the opening of session

    My computer is when I first put it together, and I fixed it.  Somehow.  Now, he has started doing again 4 months later after accidentally uninstalling Asus Smartdoctor and my GPU software.  Now, I can't reinstall even this kind of things.

    16 GB of ram
    1 TB HD
    NVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti
    Six cores AMD
    630 watts power
    I don't think it's a hardware problem, because it operate for 4 months without a hiccup.  I think the last time was happening, it was my computer trying to overclock my GPU when I didn't want it.

    In fact, I solved the problem myself.  After 12 hours of programs and hardware troubleshooting one by one, I discovered it was the software that uses my Rosewill Wireless Adapter that is causing the problem.  I removed the card and software and am waiting on a different model to be delivered today.

    Thanks for your time, however.
  • I backed up my iPhone 3GS on iTunes. Back up seemed to go OK. iTunes then prompted me to update the iOS that I did. The phone then crashed. I did a factory restore. The backup that I did was not there. Can I recover the loss upward in anyway?

    I backed up my iPhone 3GS on iTunes. Back up seemed to go OK. ITunes then prompted me to update the iOS that I did. The update failed. My phone broke. The only option available was to restore to factory settings I've done. The back up I had made was not available for restore. It contains precious family photos and videos. Is anyway to recover the lost or any part of it from my PC Backup? Any help would be appreciated. Best wishes Giles

    If you go to iTunes and watch your backups, you don't see one that was made today? Did you see an indication of the backup was not successful? What version of iOS is the device that you have been asked to update? It was not an iOS for the iPhone 3GS update in a while. Regarding the photos and videos, you had never taken the time to import them on the computer?

  • Why the Firefox on Android is so great? It uses 20-60 MB and fills the volume? (App: 24MB.) Data: 30 MB +)

    Summary:

    Firefox using too much space on my Android phone, and this causes problems on my phone for example errors "Low on space". Android applications are unable to obtain updates to security due to the use of the high area of Firefox, which is a security problem.

    Why Firefox uses as much space and how to prevent or solve this problem?

    Details:

    I am running Firefox on Android 2.3.4 18.0. I then Firefox my 8 GB SD card. This problem also occurs well in Firefox 19 & 20 of Firefox.

    Firefox uses a huge amount of space. This is the largest app on my phone by a long shot. It seems that Firefox will grow without limits, until what it triggers a "low on space" warning on the Android device. When this "low on space" warning is reached, Firefox becomes unstable and I'm unable to install other Android applications. Often applications cannot be updated due to high usage space of Firefox and cannot receive updates of security which is a security problem.

    Please see the following screenshot that shows that Firefox uses about 30 MB worth of space and is approximately two times larger than the next largest app, Google Maps.

    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7di3oh1p98bh68v/AoxNuqMKd4/2013.01.20-16.17.40.JPEG

    If I go into ' settings: Applications: storage use: Firefox ", Android tells me that Firefox uses the following amount of space:

       Storage:
       Total: 29.60Mb
       Application: 1.85MB
       Data: 27.76MB
    
       Cache: 0.00B
    

    When Firefox is freshly installed, the "Total:" use is closer to 3MB. But in the coming days, this number increases to 30 MB.

    Why Firefox uses as much space and how to prevent or solve this problem?

    Thanks for pointing the "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" option I understand the implications of privacy to store the cache outside the profile directory, but I don't have much choice. Firefox as an App has increased slightly with the latest version (8 MB to a value of policies) and my phone was so full that the system was not the application updates to security for other applications. I have that is need to get this resolved the problems of disk space or I will stop using Firefox.

    I did it for free space:

    1. Create a new folder on my SD card ("/ mnt/sdcard/something /")
    2. Under ' subject: config' set browser.cache.disk.parent_directory to match the new directory created previously.
    3. Restart Firefox (I had to kill the Firefox application)
    4. Went to a few sites such as Facebook and Pinterest cache-heavy
    5. Checked the cache didn't work under ' subject: cache'
    6. Remove old files from the cache in my foo.profile/Cache Directory
    7. Went to "subject: config' and came back some of my manual settings that it took months to save disk space."

    Now Firefox uses 10 MB less space on the memory of my system, then he has done it before. I can also make the larger cache (much larger) which will speed up the display of Web pages.

    I couldn't create a symbolic link from my old Cache Directory to the new directory of Cache.

    More info about "browser.cache.disk.parent_directory" can be found at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory

  • XPS 13 (9343) crashes minutes after the start of

    A week ago, my Dell XPS 13 running Windows 8.1 suddenly stopped working about 1-3 minutes after the start, then rebooted - just to keep crashing and restarting after a few minutes. Unable to understand what caused the problem, I did a clean install of Windows 10; that is, fitness and installing W10 bootable USB drive.

    After installing a few Dell drivers (wifi, video, sound), the problem returns. Same question; After connection, Windows seems to start as usual, then crashes after 1 to 3 minutes.

    The system is a Dell XPS 13 (9343), i7-5500, 512 GB SSD, QHD touchscreen.

    TIA for any help.

    The memory on this model is welded in - it cannot be deleted.

    If you haven't run a complete diagnosis of the hardware, F12 repeatedly at startup will help you do.  You can also watch to see if you have crash dump files (WhoCrashed is a good utility for their sight-reading).
