The culprit is Itunes 10.5.02 update . I just uninstalled it and firefox stopped crashing!

For me uninstalling Quicktime software (specifically 7.7) stopped my firefox crashes. I have Quicktime 7.69 version installed with no problems

I have this problem as well. It's becoming so persistent that I've begun using a Opera and IE in tandem. There are times when I leave the computer and come back to find firefox has crashed.

I turned off "Use hardware acceleration when available", because I thought it might help, but still no luck. I've also made sure each addon is up to date, but again this didn't remedy the problem.

Any help it getting this resolved would be appreciated. I'd rather not have to use two separate browsers to do what I did with Firefox.

I've included a screenshot of my submitted crash reports, in addition to a list of my 11 most recent submitted reports. On most occasions I don't submit a crash report, especially if multiple crashes occurred in the same day.

Anyone having crashes
By all means read this thread and any tips and advice it contains. Please however bear in mind that this is a very old thread initially started when Firefox 3.6 was in use, but the current Release is version 10.0.2 No one is actively offering any help or advice in this thread.

  • please start your own new thread

Sorry you are having so many problems with Firefox.

  • Is it only Firefox that crashes?
  • Have you tried in Firefox's safe mode ?
    • and with all plugins disabled
    • it would also then be worth trying starting in Windows own Safe mode in addition to the above.
  • Have you tried to rule out the possibility of malware by scanning with multiple up-to-date tools.

P.S. it is probably a good idea for you to start a new thread also

I found that post and tried the suggestion.

I changed "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled" to false, as it seems my issue mostly occurred when I was trying to access gmail. So far so good, but I'll continue to monitor things and see how well they hold up.

@John99 Thanks for responding so quickly.

Glad you fixed the problem, lets hope it stays fixed.

Changing that pref may result in crashes that only previously stopped say FlashPlayer working now bringing down the entire browser. There is conjecture in the thread you linked to that security software not recognising plugincontainer.exe operation could be the cause of the crashes, it may be worth investigating that as it could result in a better solution if the security software can be re-configured.

For an explanation of the changes you have made scroll through the article:

You have quite a list of crashes, I looked at some of those reports and the crash signature is not always the same, you may yet find that some crashes still occur.

Hey man. this has been killing me on every single one of my firefox browsers on three different computers. i have the speeddial 0.9.6.4 and gmail watcher 1.48 on all of my browsers.

I note at least one of those crashes is related to Internet Content Filter, but this is an old thread and not; in my opinion; the place to discuss your problem.

May I ask you please to start a new thread. Include a couple of CrashIDs from each of the three computers. Follow the advice in firefox crashes. You must also try firefox in safe mode and with all plugins disabled. If Firefox crashes in such a status again please provide Crash IDs


edit
icf.dll is probably a McAfee file
so it is apparently another problem related to McAfee use.

Fingers crossed I think I may have fixed it??

I was getting flash crashes constantly.

I removed NVidia Firewall and updated Firefox to V11 Seems to be cured for now :)

This is an old thread, inevitably some of the information is now out of date.
