Firefox crashes

I downloaded google earth in this computer lately. What i've noticed different from the way i used it on the other pc was that after returning from street view once, i couldn't exit from "vista a nivel del suelo", later on, after resetting my pc and continue in google earth, when i wished to navigate right or left the earth rotated clock or counter-clockwise. That wouldn't have been a problem if after that, every time i clicked on mozilla firefox, a new page opened whenever i moved the mouse, another click, a new page opened, even if i clicked on firefox icons of the status bar. After resetting once more another error which i found was that the characters were written CAPS and the capslock led wasn´t ON, and vice versa. I wish I could send somebody this report because I think it's a great problem and nobody would notice it because firefox or GEarth never sends a crash report log When i wanted to close Firefox this box appeared "Plugin Container for Firefox dejo de funcionar" Firma con problemas:

I understand that the plugin container crashed when loading a plugin. In this case it sounds like it was Google Earth. The crash info indicates the last module in Firefox used was the mozalloc.dll.

Try these troubleshooting steps:

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

  1. Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
  2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
  3. Click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
  4. Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.

    The image "fpSettings1.PNG" does not exist.
  5. Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
  6. Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
  7. Restart Firefox.

This Flash Player Help - Display Settings page has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
