When Firefox crashes and restart is necessary, Firefox always try to open the same tabs that caused the failure before.

I use tabbed browsing all the time. When I open a tab of a Web site that poses a problem, freezing Firefox (but not the computer), I find that I can delete the Firefox problem only by restarting the computer. I am so appalled to find that Firefox then tries to recreate the same set of tabs that caused the problem in the first place, causing Firefox freeze again. Usually I can get it out by closing Firefox and very long wait for Firefox to close completely so that it can be restarted again.

This problem occurs in version 4.0 as well as in the latest version of 3 that I had. I remember that in some versions previous Firefox asks if you want to recreate your tabs or open in a new browser window. I always took the second option. This choice is no longer makes its appearance.

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about: config to get page the on: sessionrestore page immediately with the first reboot after a failure has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

Which allows to deselect the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.

See:

To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

You can use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a pref.

  • Satellite A500 - crashes and restarts when I play games

    Help, please

    For these last months, I had a problem with my laptop crashing and restarting in 10-20 minutes from a game.

    Please help, give me ideas or tell me how to find out what the problem is, I have read a few other discussions to talk about questions of heat but no real answer on how to solve the problem.

    Help, please
    Thank you
    D

    Hi Dale.Johnston,

    Overheating would be a typical pattern of this behavior. I mean, that's if the laptop has a higher internal temperature and it will immediately fit to protect the equipment. Then it the normal behavior of s from overheating.

    Overheating may have different reasons. In most cases it's dust that blocks the fan. This would mean that you have to clean the cooling system of your laptop using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.

    Generally, it should help. If this isn't the case, I would check the display driver. What display driver and operating system you are using?
    If you install the display driver Toshiba not they can also cause overheating if it recommendable s using Toshiba pretested drivers only. ;)

    I can't open the image, but I can say something in general about the tilde.

    The tilde "~" is an unreserved character and that's why it can be replaced by its form encoded percentage '% 7' inside a URI without changing the meaning. See

    According to article 2.3 of RFC3986 we should prefer the encrypted form so this behavior seems to be somewhat outdated.

  • My computer crashes and restarts with windows xp but it does not occur with any other OS

    When I use windows XP, 2000, ME, 98 in my computer (Dell latitude D600) it crashes and restarts all of a sudden. But when I installed winodws vista, 7 or ubuntu it will never happen. I thought that the problem could be drivers, so I ran my computer only with windows XP, without installing any driver, but it happens again. I already send my computer to dell and they changed everything in the computer, but I still get the error. What can I do to identify and solve the problem?

  • iPad Air keeps crashing and restarting

    Why my iPad Air keep crashing and restarting in Safari? I also think other applications. iOS 9.3.2 must be the culprit because it never happened so often. Any solution?

    Go to settings - Safari - clear the history and data from the Web site.

    If that doesn't work, reset your device. This will not erase your data stored on the phone.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

    It is clear the details of the second error problem is the DivXMFSource.dll:

    Fault Module name: DivXMFSource.dll

    Fault Module Version: 1.0.0.72

    Timestamp of Module error: 4cffcf66

    The DivXMFSource.dll is a component of DivX software.

    Uninstall of DivX software should fix the error.

    You are able to do safe mode?

    If not go to the DivX program folder and right-click the DivXMFSource.dll and rename the extension .dll to .old, IE rename DivXMFSource.dll in DivXMFSource.old.

    Restart the computer in Normal Mode and uninstall DivX.

    Here is the location of the DivXMFSource.dll to rename:

  • RoboHelp HTML v5 Crash when I try to open the topic

    I did a minor change on a small subject in an existing project. RoboHelp crashed before I could save. I have finished the task and reloaded the project in human resources and received this msg:

    The reference to the file "C:\help projects\UW\IDI UW\Chap 15\file:\C man.css" to the folder "'C:\help projects\UW\IDI UW\Chap 15\syndrome.htm' contains illegal characters and do not appear in the project manager.

    HR crashed again. I loaded the file referenced in Internet Explorer, find the funky path displayed on the error msg, modied it and saved the file. When I tried to open the project in HR and open the topic, I got the error again, but HR crashed. Completed the task w/Windows Task Manager, responsible for HR and opens the project. Then I deleted the subject offending and reimported it from a MS Word file. No error MSG, but HR has crashed again.

    I was able to change something else, save and regenerate. However, now HR block any topic trying to change. The last time I worked on this project was 11/07, and everything went well then.

    It's late Sunday night. I'm puzzled. Big question for a Monday morning. Any ideas?

    I decided to try the oldest trick in the book and restart the computer. That solved the problem! Duh!

    However, I need to modify the indexes on the project and HR crashes when I try to open the index Designer. I have not tried to restart. I'll open another topic on this one. I found many problems with HR crashes, and maybe that will help someone else, when we have a resolution.

  • I downloaded the 32-bit, Windows 7, Internet, and now when I try to open the file you just downloaded with an MS-DOS screen opens then closes instantly. What should I do?

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Hi Chris.Plucker,
     
    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum
     
    I would like to ask you a few questions to better understand:
     
    (a) you try to open the file from Internet Explorer?
     
    (b) if so, have you tried with other browsers?
     
    (c) from which site did you download Windows 7?
     
    (d) what is the name of the file you want to download?

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

    Follow the steps below to put your computer in a clean boot state:

    Note If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.

    2. click on the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the Startup items load check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)

    4. on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then all disable.

    Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

    5. click on OK, then restarting.

    Check the link to learn more about the clean boot below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2 in the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click on OK.

    3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

    Waiting to hear from you

    Thanks and greetings
