Does Rapport cause Firefox to crash?

Starting with v.37.0.2 and now with v.38.0, Firefox for Mac (Mavericks) crashes for no reason. I can solve the problem by stopping Trusteer Rapport. The Mozilla Crash Reporter never gets sent because of an error. Is this a known issue. Thank you.

The crashing thread includes RapportTanzan380.dylib, so this id definitely an issue with Trusteer. If updating Trusteer to the latest version doesn't help then you will have to disable Trusteer for now and contact their site for support. See my above post for details.

I did not want Trusteer to run a remote access session with me so they could investigate the issue happening in real-time but I have kept a record and since June 6 (with Trusteer Rapport on) I have had no problem with Firefox v.38.0.

Yes, serious crashes with Firefox 37.0.2, but IBM Trusteer issued an update around May 6th to fix the problem. Can you tell whether you have received the update by now? If not, please see this post: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1061312#answer-726698

More recently, users reported there is a conflict between the NoScript extension and Rapport in Firefox 38. Accordingly, you would not see a problem in Firefox's Safe Mode where extensions are disabled. Could you try that test to see whether there is also a conflict with one of your extensions? (More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.)

If Firefox is not running: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.

If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

and OK the restart.

Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).

Any less crashy?

I disabled the add-ons as per your instructions. Within 3 hours Firefox closed by itself and I received the same Mozilla Crash Reporter error message. The message says: “Your crash report will be submitted before you quit or restart.” but I always get this message after I quit or restart:" There was a problem submitting your report.”

Try to update or uninstall and reinstall Trusteer Rapport and if that doesn't help then disable/stop the program for now.

I don't know how to extract the crash data in those circumstances. Does the last section of the article "Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly)" help at all?

Download the current full installer for Rapport. After, uninstall that program. Restart the computer. Then try Firefox.

Do Not install Rapport at this time.

Thanks again. I have been in touch with Trusteer since early May and they would now like to run a remote access session with me so they can investigate the issue happening in real-time.
