google maps and Mozilla support crashes firefox
I originally had an issue of Google Maps crashing my Firefox 40.0.3 every time I load the page. I tried following the troubleshooting here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
and it works in Safe Mode, but: 1. I'm on default theme already 2. I turned off hardware accelerator 3. I disabled all my extensions
and it STILL crashes. So based on this article, I can't figure out what else I can disable that would cause the crash.
Not sure if this information helps, but when I tried to load the mozilla support page titled "Ask your question to our community of users", it crashes firefox every time unless I'm in Safe Mode (which I am right now to post this).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Firefox uses too much memory (RAM) - How to fix This article describes how to make Firefox use less memory to make it run faster and prevent crashes.

Yeah, my memory usage on the laptop has always been high (above 80%), though this problem only started recently (probably after version 36 or so?). It works perfectly in safe mode, so is that due to the memory?
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "3-bar" menu button > Exit (Power button) (Windows: File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: File > Quit)
Thanks for the reply, but I followed the "safe mode" instructions to the letter and as I posted in the original post:
1. I'm on default theme already 2. I turned off hardware accelerator 3. I disabled all my extensions
Yet it still crashes. the only time it doesn't crash is if I'm in Safe Mode. Is there anything else I can switch off?
An updated. I freed up my memory down to 50% (Windows Update was hogging the memory) and Google Maps still crashed with 1) hardware accel turned off, 2) default themes, and 3) all extensions disabled.

Much better.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac:<Command>)<Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.
Hi, thank you for the tip. I only have 2 Extensions and both are disabled: 1. AVG SafeGuard Toolbar 2. Logitech SetPoint
Firefox still crashes when I try to open Google Maps with both of these disabled, but it doesn't crash if I go into safe mode.
Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.
Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
After, restart Firefox. Are there any problems?
Yes, Hardware Acceleration is turned off and Google Maps still crashes Firefox. =(
Please post the new crash reports.
Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
