FF crashes after typing 'f' in any area. How to avoid?

more options

Every day after starting FF 38.0.1 the program crashes after typing the letter 'f' (in a forum post, in the search bar, wherever). I have to restart the browser 5-10 times and then magically it works like a charm. How can this be and how to I avoid it?

Few things before we start :

  • Is crash happens only when f key pressed ?
  • Had you go through Safe mode option ? what happens there ? if not then follow the steps mentioned there .

I think the crash happens due to flash (which might be not presented in your browser ) ? You can download it from Get Adobe .
