        The latest Firefox-version (25.01) doesn´t work, it crashes.
        Same problem with 24.0…
        The latest version working normally is 23.10.

        Has anyone else had problems with FF 24 & 25 ?

              Really ?
              That´s interesting, i will have to investigate it tomorrow.
              Thanks.

              Tempfiles and cache should not be a problem, as this is a fresh install.
              I run Firefox from ramdisk on all O/S-es, so i just made a copy of the ramdisk from WS2008-R2,
              and started it on WS2012-R2.
              And it was running perfectly fine on WS2008-R2 a few minutes earlier.
              Firefox 23.01 works, but not 24 & 25.
              And i have even reinstalled 24 & 25 several times.
              Weird….

                If it’s a fresh install, yeah it is weird. Mine is not a fresh install, it is my main computer for over a year and I only upgraded from 2012 to 2012 R2 and everything works like a charm. I have an AMD Phenom II quad core processor, 8GB of ram and 500GB HDD.

                  Today Firefox 23.01 chrashed…
                  I installed 25.01 to my harddisk, with the same results as when installed on ramdisk, it crashed.

                  Starting FF in safemode works, but even with all add-ons & extensions disabled, it still crashes when started in “normal-mode”.
                  Weird…

                  Any ideas ?

                    I wonder if a Firefox add-on can cause trouble even when it´s disabled ?

                      I was wondering if you need to have the system updated first and use CCleaner first to clean the registry and any junk files. Then try to install again.

                        Windows Update ?
                        The O/S is updated.

                        I just finished testing on WS2012-R2.
                        I created a whole new “fresh” ramdisk, deleted the whole profile-folder, and installed FF.
                        Even a completely fresh Firefox 25.01 installation crashes.
                        Then i disabled Comodo Internet Security, repeated everything, but now i installed FF onto my harddisk, and it still crashes.
                        Nothing extra installed, no add-ons, just a fresh install….
                        This is really weird.

                        Here is the crash-ínfo from Firefox,
                        the first section is from yesterday with my usual profile, copied from WS2008-R2,
                        the second section, below ######, is from today, with a “clean” profile.

                        I´m about to start calling the O/S WS2012-B2.
                        B2 as in BETA-2…………

                          Do you have this in a virtual environment or in a physical computer? because I do not have any issues with my system. Could be the ramdisk?

                            No virtual.
                            It´s “real”.
                            Well, at first i suspected the ramdisk, but as i said yesterday: FF crashes even when installed on the harddisk.

                              Problem solved.
                              mswsock.dll is Winsock.
                              I tried resetting Winsock, but that didn´t help.
                              Then i found some posts on firefox´s forum about disabling hardware acceleration, and upgrading graphic drivers.

                              I originally installed the latest OEM-driver (ASUS) and that doesn´t work with Firefox never than 23.01.
                              So i installed a never (generic) Intel-driver, and now Firefow works normally again,
                              with all add-ons active.
                              I´m actually using the copy i made of the ramdisk from WS2008-R2.

                                Oh wow, it was actually the graphics driver 😯 glad to know that you solved it.

                                  The latest OEM-driver works perfectly on WS2008-R2, so of course i thought i could use it also on WS2012-R2.
                                  Yes, it´s good that i solved it, so i can test WS2012-R2….

                                  But from what i´ve seen so far, it´s the same stupidity as in the preview.
                                  Yes, there is a “startbutton”, but no real menu, same logout routine, same “out of space on disk-bug”…..
                                  Although it´s fast.
