Re: Firefox 30 crashing system - P.H. - 08-09-2014
FF 31 I meant, if that's the latest.
Re: Firefox 30 crashing system - rokytnji - 08-09-2014
So I guess run firefox from terminal and it will show why it crashes.
Re: Firefox 30 crashing system - P.H. - 08-16-2014
Thought I would check back in guys...
I successfully instaled LL 2.0 and it is working super.
One thing I did was remove FF 29 and install Chromium from the get-go, even before updates install. Then after properly installing updates, drivers, restrictd extras etc, is when I installed FF 31. I took advice from the FF troubleshoot guide, deleted a preferences folder and started as RESET Firefox. It has been working fine with no crashes whatsoever.
There is a definite performance upgrade when using LL 2.0, I'm very pleased I must say.

Hello friends. After a delay, here's the apparent cause of FF/LL crashing...wait for it...the Ubuntu customization installed as an extension. No matter which version of FF and LL, if I don't start in FF Safe Mode to disable the Ubuntu Firefox Modifications extension, it's crash city. I just fixed my FF 34/LL2.2 this way.

I always remove xul-ext ( ubuntu extension for firefox ) on fresh installs .
Re: [SOLVED] Firefox 30 is crashing system - dudeMANguy - 01-19-2015
How do you disable that extension?
Re: [SOLVED] Firefox 30 is crashing system - altman - 01-19-2015
Ah I remove it from Synaptic .
Just type in Xul-ext-ubufox in the Search box there . Or xul , you ll see it while browsing it mate .

@Altman
Good info, thanks. I have been curious what file relates to that Firefox extension.
Hi dudeMANguy,
I *think* the specific file Altman is speaking about is
Code:
xul-ext-ubufoxAs an alternative (and the way I'm currently removing this extension) is to go into Firefox extensions and just disable it, though I don't know if this method *completely* disables it.
