Firefox crashes several times a day. I have not found a pattern yet. It crashes randomly, I suppose.

Firefox crashes. I think Facebook is always running. I've tried in safe mode and with all plug-ins disabled but it keeps crashing randomly. Some days no crashes at all. Some days three crashes in one minute.

Could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.). Then perform these steps:

  • Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
  • In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
  • Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:

Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

I had already disabled the 'Use hardware acceleration when available' checkbox. Since my computer is brand new all my drivers are supposed to be up to date.

Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or use the Help menu item and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode" To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again. If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Firefox is now running in Safe Mode. Since I cannot predict when a crash will occur, I can never be sure the crashes don't happen in Safe Mode. When can I stop using Firefox in Safe Mode?

Firefox keeps on crashing. This is the crash-ID of the last crash: bp-22a93c95-2d8c-464e-8186-15c172121228

There is a possibility that the latest Firefox update wasn't successful.

Download a fresh new Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop from : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

Uninstall your current Firefox version.

Don't remove your personal data when you uninstall the current version.

Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that new downloaded firefox copy.

It is also important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but be sure that you don't select to remove your personal data when you uninstall Firefox.

thank you

Hi aprilr73

There is a problem on Windows 8 with Firefox 19 and AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphic display cards.

This issue is currently being investigated in bug 830531.

  • Bug 830531 - [Win8] crash in XPC_WN_Helper_NewResolve mainly with AMD Radeon HD 6290/6310/6320/7290/7310/7340

If you have one of those display cards then best is to stay with or downgrade to Firefox 18.0.2 for now or try the Firefox 20 beta version that doesn't seem to be affected.
