JavaScripts run or crash Firefox.

Web site buttons that launch the javascripts are ignored. After that, FF can hang or crash or continue. JavaScript is enabled in the Options. I deleted prefs.js and reinstalled FF nothing helps. Everything works OK in IE7.

This has happened

Each time Firefox opened

is apparently a random event, can not specify any specific time.

Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of your modules is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).
See the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems and troubleshooting questions with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems

If this does not work in safe mode and then disable all your extensions and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" window the startup of Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to disable all extensions.
You will need to close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Also check the settings of ZoneAlarm and force field to ensure that they are not causing your problems.

  • 41 of Firefox crashes, FIrefox was crashing at startup from the 40.0.3 updated

    Crash ID: bp-fceb36ed-dad2-4eab-9836-687df2150928

    Hello
    After update to Firefox 40.0.3 several weeks back, Firefox would crash at startup. I uninstalled Firefox, reinstalled FIrefox (now with version 41), this is updated to Windows (Vista 64-bit), shockwave and Flash Player updated, uninstalled Firefox and deleted the Mozilla folder in AppData Roaming directory. Update some addins, FreeMake in particular. Disabled antivirus (Norton 360). I'm unable to start Firefox in safe mode (when I hold SHIFT and you try to start Firefox comes immediately to the crash report). Versions prior to 40.0.3 worked without any problems.

    I look forward to hear from you, thanks! David

    Sorry to hear about the accident and that you have the ID of the report.

    The signature seems a disproportionate impact on the users of Vista. There is a bug in the accident report, but it is for the test of 64-bit versions of Firefox and the final versions are all 32-bit versions.

    I see a reference to FLVSrvLib.dll in the report (at the top of the list in the mini Modules tab), which is a DLL associated with Freecorder program Applian Technologies. In other threads, users have experienced startup crashes if they Freecorder and Norton.

    If you have indeed the Freecorder program and it is not essential, try to uninstall it then restart Windows to ensure that none of its components are running.

    Firefox will start normally after that?

  • I installed jZip, it crashed Firefox and does not start again; How can I get Firefox to work once again, preferably without uninstalling?

    I installed jZip and it crashed Firefox, I tried to restart Firefox, but it wouldn't. I uninstalled jZip, Firefox didn't work; I restarted the computer and it still does not work. I can't use even run Windows to pull up the profiles. Is there something I can do to get Firefox to work again without reinstalling? I really like to use the session restore but its so erased its uninstalled.

    Yes to aid,

    Start > Search > firefox.exe /ProfileManager {ENTER}

    I got to the profiles.

    I'm fed up and uninstalled Firefox, when he asked if I wanted to erase all data associated with Firefox I did not and when I reinstalled it straight last session here, I assume that this sort of program file has been damaged and has stopped working. Put it back, fixed everything that was wrong.

  • YouTube freezes or crashes firefox but works fine in Internet Explorer

    Every time shoot youtube in Firefox it immediately freezes or crashes with the whole browser. the only thing I can do is close Firefox via the Task Manager. This happens every time. It used to work fine. I have disable even speed up the video. Nothing seems to work. The only time where this kind of work is when I uninstall and reinstall firefox or flash player. Then the first time I have pull up to youtube, it works fine but when I close the browser, then re-open it and go on youtube, I have exact the same problem as before.

    Firefox will pull up to youtube without problem when I uninstall the Flash Player (of course can not see the videos then), but after the installation of youtube freezes.

    Also Internet Explorer out of the youtube videos great, like Firefox, used to do. Don't know what the problem is or what has happened, but youtube immediately freezes or crashes Firefox when Flash Player is installed in firefox

    Hey guys I think we have a solution for this one. More often the case, the glitch is not with FF but with some plugin or incompatible piece of SW.

    Troubleshooting: Uninstall FF, uninstall flashplayer, uninstall all toolbars in the browser add ons etc. (if necessary, use Adobe Flash uninstaller (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html#main_Download_the_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller)

    Reinstall the latest FF and latest Flash Player version.

    DO NOT add, activate, fix anything else at all. Just naked FF and only most recent flash player.

    If you had Zone Alarm toolbar add the earlier and have uninstalled and reinstalled do not, FF is likely to pullup videos youtube without problem.

    Zone alarm toolbar is incompatible with FF when installing Flash Player and pulling upward on a youtube page.

    It is likely that other toolbars can also be incompatible so just install the naked browser and then the Flashplayer. If it works you can begin to reinstall addons etc one by one.

  • YouTube crashes Firefox instantly - and I mean instantly, hardware failure

    Under Firefox 3.6.3 openSUSE Linux 11.0. Have re-installed twice, including completely deleting the .mozilla profile. No effect. By clicking on the Google youtube address will IMMEDIATELY crash Firefox completely. I have blocked all cookies from Youtube due to a problem with the message "an error has occurred" in the opera and also blocked in Firefox. I also tried "Private browsing" without effect - even accidents. I am very upset by this situation. Also, when I access the Gmail interface full (instead of the interface embedded in iGoogle), Firefox ALSO crashes instantly. Here are the two main Web pages, I have NEED of Firefox to work! This is completely unacceptable and I see Googling that MANY people have this problem. There should be an IMMEDIATE DIFFICULTY.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    is upgrade 3.6.3

    In fact, I solved the problem by installing the 3.6.4 beta which, with the Adobe Flash 10.1 r32 pre-release of Flash, works to stop accidents. YouTube plays do not apparently necessary issue is blocking cookies from YouTube, for some weird reason - apparently there is a known issue with YouTube frequently refusing to play videos because some wierdness of cookie.

    Only problem I have now is Firefox 3.6.4 open TweetDeck links from the cache rather than go directly to the page, but that's another question.

  • Firefox hangs - won't RUN NO - Crash reporter immediately displays.

    Firefox crashes constantly on the run. Safe mode also crashes. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Here's the ID bp-41e3df68-781d-4d11-a1f4-9cfa42151031 crash. I am running Windows 7 service pack 1 64-bit. It started earlier this week. I disabled AV and tried to launch FF again, without success. I checked the the event log Windows for errors, there is not. I only ran Sysinternals process monitor and connected load FF (filter for processes including 'fire', I join this newspaper.) Sysinternals pointed out a number of errors which may or may not be related to the issue - journal CSV is available if you want that

    Hi Mikeysrealm, maybe it's a recent issue for firefox users on devices dell caused by an update of the workspace of protected dell software that got preinstalled on their machines this week. Meanwhile, dell has apparently provided an update which should fix this crash of firefox startup. You can try out and relaunch the program workspace protected Dell (although its icon in the windows taskbar) - this should trigger another update, and report back if it worked? Thank you!

  • It appears two times after the opening of Firefox ' [JavaScript error: 'dir is zero' {file: "file:///C:/Users/... and a new window opens each time."}] Opening of the modules in the Tools menu crashes Firefox.

    Whenever I open Firefox, or when a website automatically opens a new window (NOT when I open a new tab or window) error message is displayed twice: ' [JavaScript error: "dir is zero" {file: 'file:///C:/Users/Steve/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/k8nfi7qa.default/extensions/%7B0538E3E3-7E9B-4d49-8831-A227C80A7AD3%7D/components/nsForecastfox.js' line: 323}] "when calling method: [ffIDiskService::get]"
    Then, after closing the window of mistake twice, an AnyColor start/welcome screen appears in a second, open tab, which I then close to resume with the first tab (active). If I try to open the modules in the menu Tools, Firefox crashes and a script error message. It then becomes "unresponsive" and I have to force - close Firefox and reopen.

    This looks like a problem with an add-on, especially the Forecastfox extension. To test this try to disable the add-on in safe mode, for details on how to see the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems.

  • Great Javascript movies have not run smoothly since Firefox Version 17.

    I asked this question in April, but has won just one useless answer. Nothing has changed since then, while the newer versions of Firefox have been released.

    Please click on Javascript (250.00 MB) on the http://aia.lmsal.com/aia_cadence/aia_0193_rdiff_orig_20120623_0630/AIA_0193_RDIFF_ORIG_20120623_0630.htmlpage. It works without problem in Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer, but using latest Firefox version 15, partially empty frames appear, making it difficult to see the film.

    I first thought the problem was combined with Mac OS (mine is 10.6.8), but the same problem of empty frames is noted in 22 of Firefox on Windows 7.

    Therefore, I must conclude that Firefox has started to screw up on Javascript since version 17 (or 16, which could not be released).

    Thus, developers, please check what changes have been made in version 17 (or 16) on how to manage Javascript movies.

    You can create a bug report to see if there is a possible solution since it is apparently a regression.

  • Why 'Download & browser history' compensation crash Firefox and NOT clear my history?

    I want my Locator bar autocomplete erased. I use my computer for personnel, business and do not want my story showing on screen sharing meetings when you type in the browser.

    Firefox on Mac (Yosemite) 40.0.

    I go to:

    -History
    -Clear recent history
    -Browsing & download history
    -Click the 'clear now '.

    Firefox blocks (beachball), wait a few minutes, still react not, must be "Force Quit" through OS X

    Reopen Firefox, Locator bar always auto-termine. History still there.

    Starts in Mode safe, disabled all add-ons. Always hangs and does not clear the history.

    Disable AutoComplete in the location bar is not a solution. This is a bad solution.

    If there is a folder or .js I could remove from the file system, it would be at least something, but I found nothing on these forums who instructed on how to do it. The only solutions are to disable add-ons, start in safe mode, click the button "Clear recent history" even making crash the browser. To try to solve this problem, I had to wipe all my open tabs, re - configure my workspace, all it costs me time and money.

    I use Firefox because I'm a software developer and he has the best tools for development, but he is trying more and more to be a browser based on the consumer, as Chrome or Safari, and I hate those intensely. I don't want that. I want something that is a development tool.

  • Crashes Firefox attempts to access the windows user profiles (maybe)

    After several relocations and other attempts based on comments found in the various positions in the solutions, I'm still stuck here. Firefox installs and works ok with high permissions (run as administrator), but crashes frequently then run normally. In normal mode it still crashes when opening the 'options' dialog box on: page preferences and when you download a file. It sometimes crashes when browsing. No high mode installation happens to 90 percent and crashes, elevated installation works very well. An explanation would be that firefox doesn't have access to C:\users\ < profile >------... at the level he needs, but I was not able to find out why. IE seems to work very well, and I reset the default security settings in IE. The signing of the accident say nothing useful about the reason. I adjusted all the firewall and down the ladder. Everything worked until I got other problems requiring aggressive edits and now all but firefox works. Basic navigation in firefox is ok, and work the plugins like flash and acrobat. So I was stuck on this for about a week, limping and try things. I don't know if it's firefox specific or something systemic, but it would be good to know what is the problem, so I have an idea how to solve this problem. Any ideas would be really appreciated. Thank you.

    So my next move was to create a new user account. The new user has been able to use Firefox normally. Several other problems existed with the original, but not as bad as Firefox user account. In any case, with user created a new account and the old one deleted, it seems once again things are finally normal. My guess is that some elements in the account data has been deleted, by something or someone, and Firefox to access, but did not check the possibility he wasn't there.

    Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    To turn on safe mode

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
    • Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

  • JavaScript error when starting Firefox 5

    I just updated Firefox to 4.0.1 to 5. Now when I run Firefox, you receive the following error message:

    JavaScript application

    When I click the OK button, Firefox support. It seems normal and seems to behave normally. I have Java Version 6 Update 26 installed (Windows XP), which is the latest version.

    Seems to be a Firefox problem, because I had not before with the same version of Java installed. Is there a Firefox setting that should be changed, or is it perhaps a bug of Firefox?

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.
