We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent Report IDs that start with bp- and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.

Note: If a recent Report ID does not start with bp- click on it to submit the report.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

Thank you for your help!

More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.

That is a crash report that involve memory cleanup (garbage collection).

  • bp-1e8b438e-d0e8-4af8-abaf-57d312151125

The cause of such crashes are usually not easy to diagnose, so you will have to check some common crash causes.


Try to start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift (Mac: Options) key.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:

In your crash report, on the Modules list, there is a reference to "RocketDock.dll" without any other information. That sometimes indicates that this module was in the process of launching and something went wrong during that operation.

If you see a pattern of this in your other crash reports, perhaps there is a compatibility issue with RocketDock (if you have such a program), or some other software which uses that DLL.

thank you - due to the range of error signatures, i would speculate that your hardware might be involved in the issue. can you test the integrity of your RAM with a tool like www.memtest.org ?

more options

Could you also test in Firefox's Safe Mode? In Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.

If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift 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).

It may take several hours to judge whether there is an improvement.
