Firefox was the default browser and I have been using it without any problems. Since the last update of Yosemite it is slow, does not respond quickly to google docs and crashes. I already re-installed it e times.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?

The recent crash reports have an @ EMPTY signature and are from Firefox 36.

Did Firefox crash after updating to 37.0.2?

Try to disable IPv6 (check for other possible causes as well).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
