You can check if you can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the shift/Options key.

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.

    The question may be because of your corrupt cookie (cookies.sqlite) file

    Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete the other files of cookie present as cookies.sqlite - journal in the Firefox profile folder where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.

    You can also check whether DOM Storage is enabled.

  • What should I do if Firefox crashes a few seconds after trying to load any material animation, be it ads on the side of Cheezburger websites, videos from YouTube or Hulu?

    I just bought a new HP Pavilion 23 inch all-in-one desktop, one without a modem on the side because everything is held upward. I'm usually on the technical plan and can understand things more easily. This, however, ahurir me because I think and know exactly how something to do, and I can't get a response at all. In any case I downloaded Flash once or twice more to try to solve this problem, but it has not disappeared. What it does is, each time I have want to watch [or don't want to look, in some side-of-site-video-ads] tab Firefox with the animation will be very sensitive, and any click on any Web site, such as the page next to the Cheezburger Web site or just the fact that load a video on YouTube or Hulu will cause Adobe Flash Player to plant within a few milliseconds. It lets you hear the first 5 seconds or so of the video before it stops [seconds after no response from Adobe, I might add] because Adobe does not and then crashing. In most cases where the video makes it crash, most of the time that the video image does not load before it crashes, or, even if an image is trying to load, it's just a green color dark forest instead of the image of the video on YouTube. If I'm looking for the non animated images and small GIFs, such as the humor Cheezburger websites or funnies to Touteleurope.fr, it does not crash on me. The majority of the videos I have watching is Anime related. I don't want to use Google Chrome, because I trust Firefox to catch other ads of arise, which is nice, but I might have to if it is not resolved.

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • New App crashed a few seconds after the opening

    Out of nowhere the application of new collisions a farm just after opening.  I see that the verification of updates for a second and it crashes.  It looks closed, but the first screen is there in the background, but if I click on it it just hangs.  I closed the app running in the background, but it did not help. I have ios 9.3.2 - any help is appreciated.  I've seen others on the web with this problem but no resolution.

    I noticed this a few days ago. It worked just itself, so I'll try a little later. Historically, it crashes on the stage of 'Check updates', I think it is probably a server Apple problem.

    You are welcome.

    It was a fluke that I know where you are up with that in the previous question, I answered.

    MSE is the reason; It disables the Defender on the goal.

    Here are all the facts about it.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/protect/Forum/MSE-protect_start/Windows-Defender-and-Microsoft-Security-Essentials/5309cb8d-02e1-40E8-974f-0dcedb9ab9fd

    I suggested msconfig and Autoruns, as defender is how Microsoft points you, change Vista startup programs.

    One day, you can stop a program starting at start-up That's why I've included these two links for you as no longer, you can use Defender to do.

    What about updates that you think are missing, it would depend on what you have reinstalled as to what you need. You have not found a message that it is an installation failed for them; you jump a list-type PA Bear for you.

    I would say that those particular updates you think you are missing, you may repost in the Windows Update Forum and go to the Attn: PA bear.

    Relax and breathe.

    FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

    You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

    Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

  • 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/
