• 36.0.1 under Windows 7 Firefox crashes on the first click, can't kill processes

  After the 36.0.1 on a Windows 7 computer, Firefox crashes after the first click on a link or when you try to open a new tab. I can't kill the process from the Task Manager. Need to reboot to get rid of the process.

  My attempts to solve the problem so far:
  Uninstalled Firefox & my anti-virus program, removed Mozilla dirs Program Files and AppData and cleaned the registry. Then reinstalled Firefox after the restart, still hangs on the first click on a link. Even impossible to kill the process, help to only to restart.

  I tried on another Windows user; does not help. Still the same symptoms.

  PS: Related to this thread: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1051108

  Thank you for your support. Given the quick succession of versions of Firefox, I just waited out 37. My problem is over now.

• Firefox crashing after update - error mswsock.dll?

  Since I updated to Firefox 29, several accidents have occurred. No matter what I do or what I am on the page, it happens more than 10 times in 5 minutes. The number of accidents is crazy. http://i.imgur.com/RQVjZ0m.PNG

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall fees. I tried to disable all addons and extensions. I've updated my drivers on my computer and all extensions for firefox. I've updated all my anti-virus and anti-malware programs. I tried to create a new profile for firefox. I turned off hardware acceleration. Nothing works.

  Firefox crashes even in SafeMode! I am at a loss at this time, and I tried to find a way to solve this problem for days.

  Watch one of my crash reports, I found that the same file, 'mswsock.dll' is everyone.

  I have tried scanning that file with all anti-virus software, and nothing flags it. A quick google search showed that this file is causing multiple people to have the same crash I am having.
  

  I talked about https://community.mcafee.com/thread/36486 and it helped me.

  I'm so tired, please someone help me.

  guigs2/dribblet,

  So I pourrait have understood what is happening. On the bug report, it indicates that the deactivation of media.windows - media - foundation.enabled would relieve this crash report. Curious about this, I checked to see if a pref existed. He did not. Of course, I was running nothing else than to the pre-commercial versions of Firefox (nightly, Aurora) and I couldn't find the darn pref.
  
  Guess what? 29.0.1 has it.

  Disable media.windows - media - foundation.enabled siteabout:config

• Firefox crash whenever I go on Youtube

  Hello. Here's the problem:

  Whenever I go on Youtube, Firefox hang and I do the thing (CTRL + ALT + CANC.) to close the browser. I know that the problem is releated to Flash from Adobe because when I disable it, Youtube works, but is there another solution? (I can look with adobe flash, video to youtube on other sites, such as facebook). I have the latest version of Adobe Flash/Shockwave/Firefox. The problem also affects Aurora. (If I open a youtube page and quickly open a new window, I can play the video, but if I go back to the youtube window, the problem appears again).
  PS: I can't find any article talking about it in the Mozilla page'support.

  Sorry for my bad English. Mario.

  The link is a page of information. You can try different settings of Firefox crash protection features. Please also try this: open the Control Panel > Flash Player, click on delete all and erase the data. This erase flash stored data and settings for sites such as allow, block etc.

• Now, Firefox crashes only all the time

  Firefox has slowed to a crawl... taken advice on the support page to delete and rename the file "places.sqlite" in Manager files in Firefox. Now Firefox only crashes all the time. guess my decision to go back to the Explorer was made for me... can not solve the new versions of FIrefox crashes, slowness, errors... now only breaks down and the "places.sqlite. old"file I saved is gone now, so cannot yet go back to it...

  Firefox does not work at all... ?

  Sorry to hear about the accident. If you get the Mozilla Crash Reporter form, your Firefox could have registered some data that would help to find the cause of the problem. You can submit these data to Mozilla and share with the volunteers of the forum to see if it points to the solution. Please check the support article "Firefox blocks - ask for help" to get the procedure to get these crash report IDs since the topic: block the page and then after the most recent here.

  Note: If Firefox is not stable enough to use the subject: page crashes, the article also describes how to check for submitted crash IDs disk report.

  Also, and/or at the same time, could test you mode without failure of Firefox? Which temporarily disables extensions, hardware acceleration, and a few more advanced features of Firefox that could make it more prone to crashing on some systems.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any less crashy?

• Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes

  Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes.
  I unintalled (on my MAC) and reinstalled twice. Makes no difference. Any suggestions?

  Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any improvement?

  While you are in Mode without failure, you could copy a list of your extensions and paste them into an answer? The best place for this is the support information page - either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  Scroll down to the Extensions section, and then select from there until the end of the following table with the mouse and copy. Then paste into a response. It may seem a bit messy but don't worry, we're used to it.

  In addition, if you check your homepage settings, he changed? This article explains where to find that page preferences: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

• Firefox crashes at the start even in safe mode

  Firefox crashes and makes internet Explorer and also chromium at startup. Chrome works however after reintallation, but may break after a reboot.
  It was produced after an update of the anti-virus (avast and avg) both demanded a restart of the computer.
  I turned off the antivirus and reinstalled the browser (latest version), but it still crashes.

  I think I solved the problem!

  It seems to be the new version of "protection avg: zen ', it is to play with all web browsers, is not search for viruses, closes the network connection and not to repair...
  So I removed it and everything seems to work normally...

  Should have known that avg was problem since all the headaches began after its update.

  Thanks for all the help!
