My laptop started getting a message saying that I need to close Firefox because it was out of memory. Firefox will crash and then re open back to my pages I had open before. I am running Windows 8 on a new laptop with very little installed on it. I have 6G of RAM and http://prntscr.com/13ug02 I called tech support about it thinking it was my computer and they said it was a Firefox problem. I also use Chrome on this laptop and it works fine with no problems but I like Firefox so much better. I know I have no virus' on my laptop and very little has been done on this laptop since I purchased it except Facebook. This is the message that keeps popping up http://prntscr.com/13ugw3 I went back to a previous backup and installed it and my laptop worked for a few days and then started the same thing again. Please help... not sure if it will help or not but I posted my crash reports.

Hello,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.
