Image search on Google constantly cause tab crash!
Hello everybody,
since the last two updates Firefox started tab-crashing everytime I enter search terms on Google and then I click on "Images" Previous versions of Firefox had no problems at all.
I'm running Linux-Ubuntu 16.04
For example:
1. I "insert nut M6" in the google search-bar 2. Google shows me mixed image and text contents 3. I click on the "Images" button of Google 4. A collection of images appears for a fraction of a second, but immediately after.... 5. ....boom! Tab crashed message (see attached screenshot)
Any clue? Giulio - Munich/Germany
Name Firefox Version 114.0.2 Build ID 20230619081400 Distribution ID canonical User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0 OS Linux 4.4.0-210-generic #242-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:57:56 UTC 2021 OS Theme Greybird / Adwaita Application Binary /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
Chosen solution
Problem solved with the last update of Firefox (i.e. from 114.0.2 -> 115.0). I have received the new version of Firefox today by the automatic update mechanism of Ubuntu 16.
Now switching to the "Image" results of a Google search does not causes any "tab crash" anymore. Everything seems to work fine now.

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
I don't have that issue on my distro version. see screenshot Do you have the same issue under a different user account?
