The recovery date I was using contained the famous Firefox ESR update! Unfortunately it was also the last known date my PC worked normally.

The plug icon wasn't even displayed on the taskbar!- and causing a lot of poor performance and trouble even to MBAM and Hitman.Pro.Īfter three months of useless recoveries (which seemed to work at first), I finally got to know where shadow copies folder is located. (mine got an auto update to v.52ESR)īut but aware: it caused quite a mess on my system: CPU usage skyrocketed so bad even when idle (with one of svchost.exe processes involved), freezing all power management options- couldn't send it into standby mode and hibernation. Moved from XP to Web Browsing/Email - Hamluis. I have also taken the time to explain what happened when the crash occurred in the field supplied by the reporter.īTW, I am having the same problem with Mozilla Thunderbird on these same computers!Įdited by hamluis, 14 April 2019 - 06:40 PM.

I have tried to retry and always get the same crash so normally just closed out the popup crash reporter window. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.

Is there some other cleanup or method that I need to use to update or install FF so that it will run on my XP machines?įirefox had a problem and crashed. The install appeared to complete successfully but I still cannot invoke FF on the computer. I uninstalled the current version of FF then saved the install file to the computer and ran it. I downloaded the ESR version 52.3.0 from Mozilla's website to a thumb drive (today I downloaded ESR version 52.4.0 but have not tried it yet). I actually think (but now cannot verify since I can't invoke FF anymore) that I was running the ESR version before it stopped. I have read Mozilla's forums that state I can only run their ESR version on XP machines now. I have at least 2 Windows XP SP3 computers that were running Firefox just fine until last month (I assume that is when Mozilla stopped supporting XP).
