Software :: Firefox Crashes When Try To Enable Javascript In Firebug
Apr 10, 2010
after installing Firebug add-on using Firefox automatic add-on installation, I try to run a JavaScript debugger. At first, the "Script" tab was grayed out, so I try enable it by click its pull down menu and select "enable"; however this action causes Firefox to crash. Did I install Firebug incorrectly that causing the crashes?
Firefox crashes randomly. Frequency: few minutes to hours. It is not website-specific. Happens on both flash and non-flash sites. Seems to happen more often when I'm doing something complicated, like editing a photo album on facebook,or using a javascript-heavy page. Safe mode does not help.It used to work perfectly. I don't remember when the crashes began, possibly a month or two ago... So I don't know if they are caused by an update or by something I installed.
Most solutions I found were for problems with the Firebug extension (which I don' have) or for problems with fullscreen flash (which is not the case).Firefox 3.6.8, fully updated Lucid 64bit When started from terminal, it sometimes outputs an exception at startup, then nothing, then "Killed" before crashing. As below:
I installed elinks from a slackware (slack 12.2) package, and no javascript anything is working. is that something i can only enable before install, or is there something in the setup menu i can do to turn it on?
I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from 8.04. It installed Firefox 3.6.6, and now I and many others have no sound in any internet online javascript games nor in anything else that uses javascript for sound on the internet. I also have one site with a small javascript video issue (fails to fully load a gif image that is loaded by javascript).
The upgrade gave me the openjdk for java. I had no sound as described with firefox 3.6.6 and js. I uninstalled that and installed the sun-java6. This did not help. The problem is not java at all. It the fault solely of that version of Firefox. I also messed up someone else's Hardy 8.04 by allowing their computer to also upgrade to this version of Firefox. This was the only thing upgraded- the only change.
Does anyone know how to revert to Firefox 3.5 or even 3.1? I need all the steps. I have to do this in both Ubuntu 10.04 and in Ubuntu 8.04. It is unacceptable to wait for Mozilla to put out a browser update that really works. It may never happen.
I also need to know how to prevent the 3.5 from being upgraded through update manager after I get a working version back.
I found a work around for the Firefox problem in 10.04. that was to install the Google Chrome Browser which does work with javascript sound. That browser is also very fast. I cannot do this for the other computer having Ubuntu 8.04. It is not in synaptic package manager like it is in 10.04. I still want it in the computer that has 8.04 if Firefox can't be fixed.
I'm loading an XML file stored in a tiny web server (based on lwip). This web server is not very cooperative and is not marking the http content-type as "text/xml". As result, Firefox is not recognizing the file as xml (IE does) so I can't use DOM methods for parsing the xml file. overrideMimeType("text/xml") should help me avoid this problem but, even having overrided the mymetype, the content-type received is still "text/plain". This is a portion of my JavaScript code:
Code: var xmlObj; // loadXMLdata is called from the html file function loadXMLdata() { var dataFile = window.location.href.substring(0, window.location.href.lastIndexOf("/") + 1) + "config/myfile.xml"; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xmlObj = new XMLHttpRequest();
// This should override the mimetype... if (xmlObj.overrideMimeType) xmlObj.overrideMimeType("text/xml"); xmlObj.onreadystatechange = fillXMLdata; xmlObj.open("GET", dataFile, true); xmlObj.send(""); } else { alert("Your browser can not handle this script"); return; } } // fillXMLdata is called from loadXMLdata once the xml object is ready function fillXMLdata() { if (xmlObj.readyState == 4) { // Here Content-Type shows again "text/plain" alert(xmlObj.getAllResponseHeaders()); var xmlDoc = xmlObj.responseXML.documentElement; // And here section is null var section = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("section")[0]; } } The xml is quite simple:
When a JavaScript calls the alert() method, Firefox send out a BEEP in my headphones. Does any one know how to stop that sound? I am running the newest Fedora Linux with Firefox 3.6.16 using Kde as desktop environment.
I have tried every conceivable install combo i have found on this and other forums, so far my lady still can't play her favorite on-line puzzle game JAVASCRIPT WILL NOT WORK!
I recently upgraded (via Ubuntuzilla) to firefox 3.5.7 and now, every single time I close Firefox, the program seems to crash without quitting completely.
First, I receive an error saying that the program will not close and asks me if I want to Force Quite or Wait for it to close on its own. This has been happening ever since I upgraded to Karmic and if I just wait it usually quits fully after a couple seconds.
Now what happens is this: the window still closes, but if I try to reopen Firefox then I get this error stating that Firefox is already open and therefore cannot be opened again. The only way to get back into Firefox is to restart the entire computer. (Incidentally, this is the same problem that occurs whenever I try to Force Quit Firefox)
This now happens every single time I "close" Firefox.
Does anyone know the source of this error? Or a workaround?
I have installed dwm as window manager and whenever I start firefox it crashes after a few seconds. When I use the gnome window manager everything works fine.Anyone has a hint for me what I can do?

I need a textbrowser with Javascript Support. I have compiled the elinks stable 0.11x and the unstable 0.12x version mit JavaScript Support (js moz dev). Both browsers can be started and showed websites normaly. But no javascript, even simple tests like [URL] failed. I started elink with ./elink and typed then the url.
I was trying to change table data in a mysql database. Phpmyadmin appeared to work ok but somewhere along the line something got screwed up. When I try to start Phpmyadmin now it quits in the middle of loading. Firebug underlines something that says 'mooRainbow undefined'. I've tried to apt-purge Phpmyadmin including dropping the php database and then re-installing it. It does the same thing even when I went from version 3. something to version 4. something. This leads me to believe there is something wrong somewhere else. I don't have a clue where to even start looking!
When I try to enable any options in the Debian software, Software Sources immediately crashes. I'd like to enable official supported software downloadable from the internet.
I just installed firefox and flash-plugin.The version of firefox is 3.0.10, package is firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos.The version of flash-plugin is 10.0.22.87, package is flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-1.el5.rf.But firefox crashes when there is flash in web page, unless disable flash plugin in firefox.
Sometimes, when browsing the internet with FireFox, the entire system freezes. The only thing I can do is moving the mouse pointer,I can't use the Run command or anything else.It usually happens after a stand-by.
I was lucky enough yesterday to get some help finally getting flashplayer installed but now almost any page I try to load is crashing and I don't know why?
Can I install 3.6.6 on Fedora 13? I want it because Firefox 3.6.4's Flash crashes too much, and I would just love to run the latest version. How do I get it ?
I am running Ubuntu 10.04, up to date, 32 bits. I tried to open a huge (10.000 x 1.200 pixels approx) Wikipedia image, and everything crashed. Nor Firefox, Gnome or anything else responded from there. Not even ctrl+alt+del, ctrl+alt+backspace, alt+F2, etc. Only the mouse moves, but rather slowly.
This is the image:

I could NOT replicate the problem with Chromium. However, I am not sure if the issue is only firefox since it locks up everything in ubuntu.
The problem trapped me for about one month. After upgrading Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04, my firefox regularly crashes. Today I started firefox from the console, and I got the following error code...
I don't know if this problem arose from dbus. Can anyone here help me resolve the problem?
Recently my Firefox 5.0 started to crash randomly. This morning, it crashed twice within three minutes. I believe that it crashes mostly during loading something (such as a new tab), but it can also just crash when nothing is being done to it. I can be reading one page of text and it crashes. When it crashes, there is a "Submit a report" thing. When I click Restart Firefox, it doesn't. What I can think of is the use of Flash-aid and the addition of a 4GB bar of RAM. I re-executed Flash-aid because 1080p full-screen was choppy (still is). I don't think it is a Flash problem since with Gnash, Firefox also crashes. The RAM bar is a Lexar 4GB DDR3 SODIMM 1066-1333MHz. All other programs run correctly. I have re-installed Firefox, Firefox-branding and such in Synaptic. Still crashes.
I have the latest Fedora 12 and just installed firefox from the software package manager but every time i close it either by the x or tool bar it crashes and gives a message process /usr/lib/firfox3.5/firefox was killed by signall 11 (sigsegv) i have the report if you require it
I've installed SuSE 64 11.3 (with updates) as a new installation 4 times because of video driver problems. On the 3rd installation Firefox crashes. I had no difficulties with 11.2 with the same hardware. I followed CAF's suggestion to another user to add it to the repo list and run a zypper install. No difference. I've added no new hardware. I then re-installed SuSE and made no changes to any setting or driver, but again, no Firefox continues to crash.
HARDWARE:
Video card: ATI HD 5870 running I believe at 1920x1200 1366 CPU 2.8 GHz MB: Asus P6X58D Premium Ram: 6 gb
Upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3 without any issues. However the newer version of Firefox keeps crashing and bringing down 11.3! It's a complete system crash with absolutely no warning, although it looks like 11.3 is trying to send the TERM signal before the pc shuts down.I have other browsers for my work, and both Opera and SeaMonkey work perfectly.Konquerer also works perfectly.
Anyway, I installed Ubuntu normally. Whenever I try to run Firefox for the first time, it loads for a bit, then it crashes. Every time. I tried reinstalling it, and the isntallation was fine. I managed to connect properly. But it won't run.
I just updated to Firefox 3.5.8. I experience constant crashes with some websites. Does anyone here have the same problem ? How can I go back to the previous version? System: Karmic Koala on a MacBook 2.1
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and, when using Hulu, if I try and enter Fullscreen Mode, Firefox crashes to the desktop. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix for it? Any idea what could be causing it? I'm using fglrx for my integrated ATI card, by the way, but the standard open-source drivers made video choppy, and I had the same problem with Hulu.
