Last time the Fire Fox updates I noticed a weird change with the browser's behavior. the browser keeps crashing just anywhere I go! I keep losing my tabs and got kicked out of the browser losing the webpages where I was! Please fix this problem and for now at the moment I would be ok if I could go back to the last old version before that happen? I appreciate your help guys!

Since the latest Firefox latest update yesterday (02/24/2026), each time I try to open a new tab in Firefox it crashes. I get a "gah, your tab has crashed" message but when I hit the "restore" link nothing happens. How do I fix this at my end? Thank you.

I'm reading https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozillacrashreporter#w_when-firefox-crashes

Firefox crashes but I have never seen the crash reporter on my 6.18.10-200.fc43.x86_64 Fedora 43 system with budgie-desktop 10.9.3

Is the crash reporter discontinued?

I'm trying to use Booking.com to pay online for a holiday and Firefox keeps crashing as soon as I press confirm payment. Have tried several times using 2 different cards. What can I do?

Over the past 2 or 3 weeks, I've noticed that firefox tabs are crashing more often out of nowhere.

Here's one of the links for the most recent tab crash. Other crashes pretty much were all the same. I can't read or understand this, so I was hoping someone who can is able to tell me what is wrong.

I fear that it might be hardware related, as I've had tabs also crash on Edge and on a new install of Firefox Developer Edition (which I downloaded simply to test if things crashed there as well.) I've also noticed programs like Discord & Elgato Wave Link sometimes randomly crashing as well - but I'm unsure how to pull logs for those, Firefox was the easiest.

My laptop's hardware specs are as follows:

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 - 16IRX9 Processor: Intel Core i9-14900HX (2.2GHz) Installed RAM: 32 GB GPU: GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU Windows 11

If you need more information, please let me know.

Here are some previous crashes that I've reported as well:

NB - For the past half a year I have to sometimes right click to interact with them, anyway

Effectively, I will interact with the extension at the most basic, normal level on something that has interactive elements like a dropdown menu, or basic options.

I will click / right click on the icon and the highlight will appear, then that's it ... the browser then crashes and does not recover. :(

What's worse is that I have to Force Quit and when I restart there is no crash report to send to Moz.

I am just wondering if other Linux users have experienced similar issues.

The attached image is taken at the moment before the 'Force Quit' dialogue opens up in Debian 12 Gnome (Wayland) ...

I have Hardware Acceleration on.

I am about to start testing with it off, but I work from the browser, and do not want performance compromises. So that is (at best) a work-around, and certainly is not a fix.

I'm on version 147.0.2 (64-bit) which would appear to be from the Mozilla Firefox Debian Package mozilla-deb - 1.0 install/repo/whatever ... and the PC specs are: Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz Memory: 32705MB (11893MB used) Resolution: 7680x2358 pixels OpenGL Renderer: Quadro RTX 3000/PCIe/SSE2

These are my media. prefs ... but ... I doubt that it is relevant: media.ffmpeg.allow-openh264 true media.ffmpeg.customized-buffer-allocation true media.ffmpeg.disable-software-fallback false media.ffmpeg.enabled true media.ffmpeg.encoder.cpu-used 7 media.ffmpeg.encoder.enabled true media.ffmpeg.encoder.quantizer-max 35 media.ffmpeg.encoder.quantizer-min 10 media.ffmpeg.vaapi.force-surface-zero-copy 2

Firefox has been crashing regularly for a full day now. I have one profile with multiple extensions, and a fresh profile that is meant to test firefox without any. With this new, "clean-slate" profile with none of my extensions installed, I still get repeated crashes. It is getting in the way of my ability to work- it happens even in Troubleshoot mode, even though I could not confirm any hardware issues prior to this.

Will I need to delete the extenstion-filled profile entirely before going forward? Is there an update I need to install, or anything else I should do myself? Should I provide a list of my extensions?

Attached is the Report ID of my latest crash- hopefully it will help.

Thank you!

Firefox is shutting down all my active tabs automatically WITHOUT asking me. This is regularly happening and wastes a lot of time. Is it due to installing Updates ? I DON"T want ANY updates and I am fully happy with my current version. If this doesn't go away, I will have to delete this browser and move elsewhere.

since yesterday whenever I try to open Firefox, it just crashes immediately. I get the option to choose a profile but after I choose I see the window open very briefly and it closes immediately after and gives me the crash report thing. I don't want to reinstall as my data is on there and I'm not sure if it's linked to an account or no.

Hi The tabs have crashed notice keeps coming up on every change of page !!! I have the latest version installed with all my passwords saved, I am not a PC wizard so please explain how to solve this simply its driving me crazy !

Thank you Michael

mozilla keeps crashing almost on every website (says the tab has crashed). I checked, mozila is up to date, all extensions removed, no viruses or spyware, and it is crashing in troubleshoot mode as well.

Also few times a day says "your device ran in to a problem and needs to restart). Please advise what to do? Here is a submitted crash reports:
