However when I clicked on it to log back in - the animating safe appeared - and never disappeared (well - not within about 30 or 40 seconds, which was the longest my patience would last).

Last pass's extension goes yellow to display a warning (not unusual either - annoying, because it doesn't really achieve anything, but not unusual). Problem is - my session timed out (nothing unusual). For example when you first sign in at the start of a new session. In the latest version of the LastPass extension for firefox (as of today or yesterday I think) at various times a little animation of a safe gets displayed, with the wheel on the front twirling around. Hope this solution helps to solve your repeated Firefox’ freezes and crashes.Tl:dr - when a yellow warning is displayed in the Firefox LastPass extension, the new animated safe thing doesn't go away, so you can't dismiss the warning. It can also be caused by one of your Firefox extensions. xpi file from to fix the Firefox freezes. This is the forum thread where I got the information and separate LastPass.

xpi file here if you want to install it straight to your Firefox, or if your version is still crashing and freezing the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Well, it can, but try removing the LastPass extension (by refreshing Firefox or forcing it to go to SafeMode with 0 extensions/add-ons present) and see if the freezes stop.Īfter some Googling around (can’t remember where I got this solution, I think it’s on the LastPass’ forum), I found the fix by installing LastPass extension from LastPass’ official website a LastPass’ forum thread, and NOT on Firefox Add-Ons page. No, it’s not caused by the page you are on, as much as you suspect it to be. If you are using LastPass (you should) and getting frustrated with Firefox freezes and crashes, it is most probably caused by the LastPass extension.
