Every time I try to play a movie on Netflix, Firefox crashes. It crashed again without Netflix, but I believe it was also an audio/video site..

Some of your crash reports weren’t sent to the Mozilla Servers.

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it and select Submit.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.

aboutcrashesFx29

The crash report flagged these programs;

libsystem_kernel.dylib =  ? Word for Mac

libsystem_pthread.dylib =  ? Word for Mac


For some time now, a lot of Mac’s with Microsoft programs have been crashing. Check with Microsoft / Mac support sites.

A crash is when Firefox closes or quits unexpectedly and the Mozilla Crash Reporter appears. If Firefox keeps crashing when you open it, this article will show you how to get it working again.

Other problems with crashing:

If Firefox starts without crashing but then crashes later on, see the Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes article for solutions. If Firefox won't start at all, but the Mozilla Crash Reporter appears, see the Firefox won't start - find solutions article for other possible fixes. Table of Contents See if you can start in Firefox Safe Mode Try a clean install Uninstall software known to cause crashes Get help fixing the problem See if you can start in Firefox Safe Mode

As a first step you should see if Firefox starts in Firefox Safe Mode. This special startup mode temporarily turns off hardware acceleration among other settings and disables installed extensions that may prevent Firefox from starting. If you can start in Firefox Safe Mode, see the article Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems for solutions.
