Firefox Crashing

Well I have come to my last resort. Posting on NBR forums

I recently (an hour ago) installed pic lens and several other extensions and restarted firefox bang.... Error.

Piclens is causing the crash, I have tried reinstall twice with registry cleaning aswell. No dice.

Sorry for bluntness but Internet Explorer lags ALOT when typing >.< and is slower then poop

 

Use opera then.

 

Recently tried to convert back to opera and could not take the heavy memory leaks/crashes.

Any real fixes?

EDIT ; >.< trying to finish up overhaul of my notebook guide... need ff to finish grrrr

 

What version of FF are you using?

 

tried uninstall & reinstall it again with this

cheers ...

 

Hi.

I had a lot of problems with firefox 2.0 crashing sometime a dozen time a day.

Take my advice and download firefox 3.0 beta, I have never had a crash since.

I may not be compatible with you plugins or skins, but i can do without them.

Regards

John.

 

I use FF2, FF3 crashed on me too much but FF2 wont even start up after installing coolirs piclens

 

Firefox crashes are usually the result of a bad add-on (or add-ons, plural). If you cannot get the add-ons to uninstall properly I suggest you uninstall Firefox, delete the profile folders, reboot, and reinstall Firefox clean.

 

Just tried it and still crashing

 

Two things:

1. Are you sure it's PicLens? Try disabling all other add-ons, and only keeping PicLens, and see if this helps.

2. Did you check the official FAQ and Known Issues? here's the link:
http://www.piclens.com/site/support/bugs.php

A quote from the above:

(a) Conflict with Firefox add-on called CustomizeGoogle
PicLens may not work properly on Google Images if the CustomzieGoogle add-on is also enabled on your Firefox browser.

(b) Conflict with Firefox plug-in called RealPlayer Browser Record
PicLens will work only if the RealPlayer plug-in is disabled.

There may be more where those came from.

Hope this helps.

 

Any error input on it? Or just closes itself?

 

(a) Conflict with Firefox add-on called CustomizeGoogle
PicLens may not work properly on Google Images if the CustomzieGoogle add-on is also enabled on your Firefox browser.

Exactly it! but how would I go about disabling one or the other. Firefox crashes regardless if its 2 or 3 (just tried 3 beta 5 and same resault). Crashes right on startup

thanks ICE

 

Hmmm.... Well, try navigating to your Firefox profile folder, here's how to do it:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile

There should be a folder there called 'extensions'. I don't have Windows at hand just this moment, but on my Linux box it's there.

Browse through this extensions folder (there will be folders with strange names there, one per extension) and try to locate the CustomizeGoogle folder. I'd run a search in this folder and tried to find CustomizeGoogle text/string inside files, or something.

Just remove this folder and the extension should be gone.

known issue with CustomzieGoogle (under Opera as well)

cheers ...

 

The folder is empty >.<

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

This is what FF3 beta 5 says.

 

can you find anything in the error logs ?

i had a couple of crashes and the error log showed it was an add-on, dictionary unable to load.

 

If you actually read through the thread minus the first post the cause of the crashes has been determined just no solution has been figured out yet

 

After a crazy 103 re installations of firefox I was able to get it to install firefox-safemode where I was able to start without extensions and remove the extensions conflicting

Cheers for the help admin you may close up the thread

 

Good to hear you managed to fix this. I totally forgot you could start FF in safe mode with extensions and themes disabled.

 

Start up Firefox in safe mode with no addons, then remove piclens.

 

Ya i noticed that it was missing in the start bar folder so i sat there uninstall install till it came up >.<
