So if you face a crashing issue in any web browser, first try to disable your security software protection. (Many times security software cause crashing issues in web browsers. I also tried to temporary disable my security software program (antivirus and firewall) protection, it also didn’t fix the crashing issue. I tried various solutions to fix this annoying issue such as restarting Firefox in safe mode with all add-ons disabled but it didn’t help.
It was just crashing continuously on startup. So Firefox was not opening/launching at all. Again Crash Reporter launched and the same process continued happening again and again.Īfter a few tries, Mozilla provided a dialog box to restart Firefox in Safe Mode. It again opened Firefox which immediately crashed on startup. Obviously, I clicked on “Restart Firefox” button. The Mozilla Crash Reporter provided 2 buttons: Restart Firefox and Quit Firefox. Then the traditional Mozilla Crash Reporter window opened with “We’re Sorry” message and options to send crash report to Mozilla servers. As soon as I tried to launch Firefox, it opened for a second and immediately closed. Suddenly Firefox started crashing at startup. "I don't know why that check was removed." Information about the bug Mulzelaar mentioned is password-protected and not available to the general public.įirefox 3.5.5 also fixes a stability bug in the Mac version, and another crash problem in the Windows and Mac editions.Yesterday I faced a very strange problem with Mozilla Firefox web browser in one of my computer systems. "This bug was actually caused by bug 514776 which removed the check for null mImageFrame," said another Firefox programmer, Jeff Mulzelaar, on Bugzilla.
The GIF decoder is the component that parses. Only the Windows edition of Firefox 3.5.4 was crashing, others reported on Bugzilla. "We're seeing lots of crashes in the GIF decoder," noted Mozilla developer Joe Drew in the message that kicked off the discussion on Bugzilla, the company's bug and change tracking system.
The main bug quashed Thursday was one that was causing a high number of crashes in the Windows version of Firefox 3.5.4, the update that Mozilla launched Oct. Unlike almost all interim updates that Mozilla issues about once every six weeks, version 3.5.5 did not patch any security vulnerabilities. Just a week after it last updated Firefox, Mozilla has rushed out a new version of its browser to fix a crash bug that programmers inadvertently introduced.įirefox 3.5.5, which Mozilla posted for download late Thursday, fixes a small number of what the company called "stability issues" in the release notes that accompanied the update.
