Firefox randomly brings up Crash Report after exit of browser. FireFox 37 onwards, Windows 8.1, Norton Internet Security. No specific web page, seems to go in phases

If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:

  • bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

You can find the Report ID of recent crash reports on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page (about:support).

  • Click the "All Crash Reports" button on this page to open the about:crashes page and see all crash reports.

If necessary then you can open about: pages via the location/address bar.

You can use Norton Live update to check for updates of your Norton software. Keep updating until no more updates are found.

Try to disable Norton extensions/toolbars in Firefox.

Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

Cor-el, Thanks, require Norton Toolbar but have been using File/Exit which does virtually alleviate the problem with only the very rare crash on exit. Problem not consistent, seems some days may be a problem, then may go weeks error free.
