Chrome is working fine. Everything else is fine. Firefox had no issues until it auto updated last night. I can't submit a crash report because every time it asks me I say yes and then it tells me 'problem submitting report'

Chosen solution

That looks like a problem with the NVIDIA Network Access Manager.

  • bp-db6d3841-b1a5-49b3-b0bf-4bdac2151222

There is a Firefox 43.0.2 release scheduled to block this NVIDIA driver that you can try to install via this website:

Otherwise you can check in the the Windows Control Panel if you can find "NVIDIA Network Access Manager" or "NVIDIA ForceWare Network Manager" and uninstall this software.

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?

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

  • 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.

Alternatively you can open about:crashes via the location/address bar.

It doesn't let me send crash reports. I try and it says there was a problem sending it. I can't keep Firefox open long enough to click anything or type anything into the address bar before it closes and the crash reporter pops up. It only stopped working after the update.

more options

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.

If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.

  • Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.

Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"

Your personal data like bookmarks is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

If you keep having problems then create a new profile.



Did you try Windows Safe Mode?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that helps.

Uninstalling it fresh and reinstalling, I open it and it gives me the crash reporter immediately. I'll try safe mode but nothing else has worked. Would really like to figure this out.
