Hello!

I have daily freezes on my ASUS TUF FA706IU.316 which can only be solved via forced rebooting.

In Event Viewer, it looks like Firefox is the app crashing just before the freeze.

Here is what I read:

Faulting application name: firefox.exe, version: 95.0.2.8022, time stamp: 0x61be560a Faulting module name: mozglue.dll, version: 95.0.2.8022, time stamp: 0x61be55f9 Exception code: 0x80000003 Fault offset: 0x000000000002a3ab Faulting process id: 0x4f0 Faulting application start time: 0x01d8046e3f4b06a9 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\mozglue.dll Report Id: f40313e5-2f0b-46e8-baca-1126a1c6dd4d Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

Thanks a lot for any support, the notebook is unusable!!

Let’s do a full clean re-install;

Note: Firefox comes in three or more folders on all computers. They are;

Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And two folders in the profile of each user on the computer for each Firefox profile for that user.

If you remove the Firefox folder, the user profiles would not be affected.

Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}

Firefox ESR; Extended Support Release {web link}

Beta, Developer, Nightly versions https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/

Install Older Version Of Firefox {web link} Be sure to read everything here.


Save the file. Then Close Firefox.

Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Note: Check Both Folders

Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac

Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.

Do Not remove any profile folders.

After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.
