For that last few months my computer has been locking up intermittently during the night. I have traced the problem to Firefox ver 26. Sometimes the cursor will slow down and then freeze while using Firefox. The computer is then completely locked up and needed a hard reset. I installed the latest beta version 27. Now Firefox is crashing to the BSOD. I need to get this fixed quickly. There are deal killer issues with all the other browsers however they all work and do not freeze.

วิธีแก้ปัญหาที่เลือก

Blue screen crashes are fairly rare and usually involve an incompatibility with your graphics card driver software. Start Firefox in its Safe Mode and disable hardware acceleration.

Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox

In the small dialog that appears, click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)

Open orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced

On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"


While you're in settings review mode, disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

Did you check the event log for details about these BSOD crashes to see if you can identify the cause?

What video card and driver version do you have? as some Gefore drivers have been known to cause problems like freezing and even bsod while applications like Firefox or games was running.

I have tried jscher2000's suggestions to uncheck hardware video acceleration and disable unneeded adons. So far it's working but I really haven't given Firefox a thorough test. It will bee a few days before I know if that fixed the problem. It appears to be promising. Doug

It Looks like the problem was with the video hardware as you said. I haven't had another crash for 10 days since I disabled video hardware acceleration.

I also disabled the NVidia 3D Vision Plugins. I don't use them so why not.

Thanks for the help! Doug
