Restart Firefox 23 causing system?

Started about 2 weeks ago. Windows 8 System. Normal use is boot, go to the office, review e-mails and normally select one or more links in them to open FF. As I read a page most of the time the system WILL restart. Sometimes it will happen once I have either try to change the tabs or close FF. A few times I had the lock system, and twice the screen has been damaged many multicolored lines. These two require a manual power market.

Interestingly, once that happens, the system is STRONG the rest of the day and it happens again until the next day.

My wife (different system) computer locks essentially once a day when you use 23 FF. Happens again until the next day, but it happens not every day?

Very confused.

Ran the Dell diagnostics on both computers, no errors. I replaced the network drivers and video. I have updated the MS updates yesterday yet. Malicious software controls ran and Norton ISS 2013 protects this computer.

If my wife did not have a problem of FF I would be suspecting problems h/w, but on both systems?

IRV S.

Well, it was a matter of "heat"...

Could NOT determine the real cause however. A lot of possible culprits. The CPU fans (and the heatsink / fan), or for cases of fans. Maybe even a loose cable (power suspect). Unfortunately, it is usually apparent when FireFox has been used.

Basically, I decided to open the case (office, never moved) and look at the connectors. Saw a LOT of dust on the power supply fan taken, the fresh air fan and the exhaust on the case, the CPU fan and dried dust share of the heat sink that I could see. Installed video card made it impossible to see the fan. I used compressed air to clean what I could see.

Left the case open, turned on the computer and it does not delete and restart... Good...

Got a program read the fan speed and the time. Video card read 80 c and 48 C CPU. The two I thought were hot compared to a similar system my wife has (different CPU, only a few degrees cooler and the different map video, much cooler).

After 2 days of works very well with the case for open and knowing the time, I decided to remove the CPU and fan cover. The radiator was completely blocked by dried dust. Brushed it clean. Remove the video card if I could clean its ductwork and fan. Put that back, engine time up and verified. CPU is 5 - 7 c cooler and corresponds to my wife's computer. No change on the video card temp?

Program, AIDA64, will focus also on the speed of temp and fan system or components and graphic. Do that and the video showed the temp go up and down between 79 and 85 with the fan speed changes to make these changes. I have seen others with these high on an ATI HD 4780 times, so I accepted it as work.

Left the case open for a few days and seen when using FF, but it does not change any time of fan speeds?

OK, the system closed upwards, and since then DROPS No.... SOLVED... do not know the specific problem/fix thought otherwise only to say it was "associated with heat.

Thanks for the help good tent.

    Hello Silvia,.
    Sorry, you have problems.

    The system to store this information seems to be a bit fragile.

    When trying this please ensure you favorite whatever it is open and close the unnecessary tabs and don't let any ongoing work, initially you can lose more than just pins tabs. Once things go wrong, that several sessionstore files can be created, clear duplicate follow these instructions:

    1. See this for instructions on the profile search. Use the troubleshooting information, while Firefox is open profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile
    2. Make sure that everything is backed up or bookmark and close Firefox
    3. Remove all duplicate sessionstore.js files found in the profile. Those with a number or.bak
      As mentioned in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Multiple_sessionstore.js_files
    4. Restart Firefox, you may have lost some information i.e. pins or other tabs
    5. In the future when shutting down Firefox always use the menu option, which is from the Firefox button on a Windows machine. Do not kill the process, or close the window of final Firefox using the Windows icon at the top right.
  • The last tab, further to the right, does not load when you restart FireFox.

    Whenever I restart firefox, the last tab that I had opened does not load. The issue of restarting can be any: add new installed firefox, new update, restart the browser manually, or restart my computer for firefox automatically closes. It's always the same problem. The last tab appears, as my page, new tab, which is empty. I have 3 tabs open and the first 2 will load fine, but not the last. This means that if I restart for an add-on or something, I need to return to my story to go back the last tab, which is annoying. And it may not have been my most recent tab. I can open this last tab, go back to the tab previous surfing the web on this subject, my story of the building and then restart firefox for some reason any. In these cases, I need to open the history window and dig for the last tab of the memory.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode 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).

    It is critical, a key issue that I have been using Zotero of Firefox plugin to write my thesis which is about 50% complete and now I can't use Firefox or the Zotero plugin and have about 800 references I don't want to have to re - enter! It also prevents me to continue the work on the thesis that I can't insert references, and I present this March thing!

    If Zotero is a plugin, why can not use you it with another browser? Different browsers may use the same plugins, especially with Mac OS.

    You can try to Uninstall and reinstall Flash. If the problem persists you can also temporarily disable Flash in (Alt + T) Tools > Addons > Plugins and try the HTML5 videos wherever possible. Most of the videos without ads embedded have equivalents of HTML5. You can also try opening the problematic sites in IE Tab + or IE Tab in Firefox.

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:

    • an ActiveX version for IE only
    • a plug-in version for most of the other browsers including Firefox
    • On a Windows system, you must always update both individually.

    You don't seem to have the Plugin for Firefox installed version. If you did, in the Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash (version)".

    Install or update Adobe Flash

    1. With Firefox, click the direct download link below and SAVE the download on your desktop, so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

  • The add-on guard bar reappear whenever I restart Firefox

    Hello

    I have problems with the add-on bar. After using Chrome for so long, have something on the bottom of the screen too much space, it is disturbing to me. I always cut the bar module because I put all my Add on icons next to the address bar in Chrome, but whenever I have to close and restart Firefox, the bar of the add-on always reappears. Is there a way I can keep it from coming back? I use Firefox 5. It's a minor annoyance because 2 clicks will get rid of it, but I'd rather not have to do anyway.

    Thank you.

    This is normally caused by an extension of the problem. For example, the extension of McAfee Site Advisor is known to make the bar of the add-on to continually resurface.

    You can use the procedure in the following link to determine which add-on is causing your problem - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • Firefox is not install/uninstall/turn off/on all addon, although there is a constant message to restart firefox?

    I receive the message to restart firefox under Tools Addons. With all the extensions appear below they will be uninstalled when firefox will be restarted. Although they never get as well.

    I tried to install flashgot at the same time, that it will not settle, it magically disappears when I restart Firefox.

    Xmarks don't get activated.
    Free Download Addon Manager will not turn off.

    I double checked that if firefox was closing properly, it closes correctly.
    I tried safe mode, all the options checked. Deleted my profile for love to bring health back to Firefox. I even downloaded Firefox 4, but none of this has worked.

    A likely cause of this is one of the files that stores details of modules installed has become corrupted. You can delete these files and Firefox will recreate.

    First, go to your profile folder using the method indicated in article profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data . Close Firefox and delete extensions.cache, extensions.ini and extensions.rdf, compatibility.ini and if there are extensions.sqlite. Now restart Firefox and see if it allows you to add or remove extensions.

  • Continue to get the window indicating to restart Firefox to update.

    After my husband connects and Firefox starts, it continues to open window to restart Firefox to update. When I click on Firefox, it also indicates to restart Firefox to update. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from Mozilla.org 3 times now and this problem continues. Refresh also does not eliminate the problem. Click on Firefox in the Applications folder as version 49.0.2. Operating system is OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

    When I connect Firefox under my user, I have no problems.

    FYI - I'm on my iMac 10.11.6 today * MY * FFox updated to 50.0.1 and resolve the problem itself for me. My wife was always the 49.0.2 problem.

    I left FF on his account & renamed a subdirectory under his account from: ~/Library/Caches/Mozilla/updates/Applications/Firefox/

      TO:
    

    ~/Library/caches/Mozilla/updates/applications/was-FF

    and restarted FF for her. The problem seems to have disappeared.

    NOTE: FF autorebuilt dir ~/Library/Caches/Mozilla/updates/Applications/Firefox /, so it seems that this may have cleaned everything.

    NOTE 2: I had also deleted all files 'Firefox 49.0.2.dmg' both of our directories before hand, without any noticeable difference. If it helped or not, I don't know, but it should probably be the first step. :)

  • How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

    I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

    Thank you. -David

    I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

    With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    -and then restart Firefox.

    If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

  • Quit and restart firefox

    How
    1. exit firefox for android?
    2. restart firefox for android?

    Firefox respects Android user interface statement of Google to get rid of a Quit or Exit button. However, you can get it in one of two ways:

    (1) set Firefox to clear at least one category of personal data on shutdown. The steps that are in this article: clear your history browsing and other data on Firefox for Android ('Deletion of data on output' section down)

    (2) install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/android/addon/quitnow/
