Firefox crashes constantly, and so does my iMac (yosemite). Hard reset is the only option. How to prevend this?

I'm now using my old pc so i can not use the automaticall add _ addon and the educated guesses about my current browser and operating system are therefor also not correct.

Try resetting Firefox and then refresh your computer

Do you have the the "Facebook Photo Uploader" (fbplugin) installed on your Mac?

You can check these location if you can find this plugin file:

  • /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
  • ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

Thank you, but i don't have this plug in. My crashes did occur again a several times after the reset of Firefox. I think it's something with my mac and not with Firefox. So no I hope Apple customer care can help me out! I already did a diognostical scan on my Apple and nothing came out. So we will see!
