Getting the most accurate help with your Firefox crash
After a crash, the technical details of the crash are recorded and can be sent to Mozilla for processing. Processed reports are given a crash "signature" which is often indicative of what caused the crash.
- In the Firefox Location bar, go to about:crashes. A page listing crash reports that you've submitted will appear.
- If you cannot start Firefox, see Firefox crashes when you open it.
- Click on the latest crash under Report ID.
- You will be taken to a page on crash-stats.mozilla.com, saying that "Your report is being processed". When it is finished processing your report, the crash signature will appear under the ID. (e.g. nsCrasher::Crash())
- In the top right corner of the page, click on to search for Support articles that match the crash signature.

If none of the above applies to you
The following causes of crashes apply to many crash situations:
Not using the latest version of Firefox
Firefox updates are regularly released and a number of the fixes are crash related. Make sure you are using the latest version. See Updating Firefox for details.
If the latest version of Firefox 3.0 still crashes, try upgrading to Firefox 3.5.
Problematic or out of date extensions or themes
Extensions and themes can often cause crashes and other errors. This is especially true if you recently installed or updated an extension. Follow the steps in the Troubleshooting extensions and themes article to determine whether an extension or theme is causing your problem. The support articles for various specific symptoms of Firefox crashes include lists of extensions that may cause certain crashes.
Problematic or out of date plugins
Plugins are programs that let Firefox display video and sound and do other things. If you find that certain, specific pages cause Firefox to crash every time you visit them, they may need a common plugin. Follow the steps at the Troubleshooting plugins article to determine whether a plugin is causing your problem.
Malware: viruses or spyware
A number of different viruses and spyware are known to crash Firefox. Ensure that your system is kept clean of spyware and viruses. For more information, see 我的 Firefox 有問題,是中毒了嗎?.
