Since I updated to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac running the final version of Mavericks I am having a few crashes and each time the Crash Reporter window is displayed partly in the Greek Language

I have downloaded the latest Firefox from their download page - strangely it is numbered as 34.0.5 and installed it over version 34. If it crashes I'll post again to let people know whether or not it solves the "greek" anomaly.

Try to reinstall Firefox.

Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

The problem is not the occasional crash it is the fact that the window reporting the crash is in Greek and not in English!

I am in the UK and I have the correct english version installed. Nothing else displays in Greek.

I am only posting the last 2 reports as those are the only ones that have any relevance.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

You can check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

it's not solved. Even the folks at Firefox are puzzled :D if the experts don't even know the solution, what chances do we normal folks have ... ??? Will wait for an Einstein to come along and give us a solution :)

HI orbyss, For bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1115892 it looks like it may be expecting in a .1 release of the current version. That bug should keep you posted on the fix for when/what.
