Just purchased a brand new computer, Windows 8, latest version of Firefox, crashes everytime I try to "View Source". Has done this since I got the computer. Anyone know of any fixes? I use view source all day everyday.

Hello,

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
  2. After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
  3. Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    • Windows:
      • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
      • C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    • Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    • Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    1. Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    2. Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found here.

WARNING:Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

Please report back to say if this helped you!

Thank you.

Try to "Clear the Cache":

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

Hi,

I completely uninstalled and re-installed and the issue is still there :\

Hi,

It doesn't actually crash and generate a crash report. It freezes the browser and goes into "program not responding" spin mode and stays there permanently basically :\. If I walked away for 15 minutes, it would still be stuck there, so basically it just forces me to close the browser and restart it.

My new computer has 8 gb of ram and a 1 tb harddrive, so a simple 'view source' should by no means overload it.

Oh a few more notes...

- I'm a web developer so I clear cache regularly - multiple times a day.

- The computer is just over a week old and the issue has been present since the day I installed Firefox. So it started when I had a clean install, no add-ons, etc.
