Firefox crashes and takes me to login screen

Hi guys,


My latop is a MacBook Pro mid 2010. I have OS X El Capitan installed.

Recently my MacBook crashes when I use Firefox and takes me to the login screen. When I login again, Firefox gives me the option to relaunch my tabs I had open in Firefox. Why does it do this? How can I check to see if any hardware if faulty?


I'd really appreciate any help I can get 🙂

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

I have this problem, too (or rather, I assume it's the same problem). Since upgrading to El Capitan, I've had 3 kernel panics while using Firefox (latest version, 41.0.2). Normally, I never have kernel panics. Here's my latest crash report:

Thank you for your suggestion. That may indeed be the problem - I realize that the second crash report that I posted implicates the video driver - but I also wonder about that, since Apple replaced my entire motherboard sometime last year because of that exact problem. It seems unlikely to me that they'd issue a repair extension program that would replace a faulty motherboard with another motherboard prone to the same issue, but then again, perhaps they did.


Also, while it's actually true that I used to have 3rd-party RAM, when Apple replaced my motherboard, they swapped it out for Apple RAM.


I've now had 4 Firefox related kernel panics with El Capitan, and 3 of those have been due to the issue in my first crash report:

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff802e38e50f): "vm_page_check_pageable_safe: trying to add page" "from compressor object (0xffffff802eac35c0) to pageable queue"@/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-3247.10.11/osfmk/vm/vm_res ident.c:7074

Lightening does strike in the same place as before and your GPU is still misbehaving. Bring it in for a VST test and you may need a new logic board.


The RAM that you have installed now does NOT meet the Apple specifications for your model/year MBP. I am very surprised that you said that Apple installed that RAM. I would think that they would go with original Apple specifications. I am not overly concerned about that since OWC techs have determined that 2011 MBPs will accept faster RAM so it does not follow that it is problematic. If on the replacement of the logic board, you still have kernel panics, then that is an area to be looked at.


Another potential problem could be:

Save that if there are problems after the logic board issue.


Ciao.
