Forum Response - OOM|small crashes in Firefox

Firefox Firefox Created: 53% of users voted this helpful

Hi <username>,

We are sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing with the signature OOM small. What this means is that you have experienced one of our top crashes that Mozilla is working very hard to fix. It happens when memory is called and it uses too much.

This will usually happen on a webpage with animation, if there is a Java Null pointer in the code of the page or when there are issues with audio on the page.

If you are also experiencing the PushToClips signature, this is fixed in version 34. I would recommend using this version (available on Beta) to avoid this crash. 

Again we apologize for the inconvenience and recommend a new version of Firefox while we work on this.
