Hi,

Sorry for the long wait. Hopefully you're still around. There was a bug filed for this signature

  • js::detail::HashTable\<js::Shape* const, js::HashSet<js::Shape*, js::ShapeHasher, js::SystemAllocPolicy>::SetOps, js::SystemAllocPolicy>::lookup(js::StackShape const&, unsigned int, unsigned in </li>
  • The bug report is here.

Two users reported that they had HTTPS Everywhere installed and when they removed it, the crashes stopped. I see that you have HTTPS Everywhere enabled as well. Can you try to disable that to see if Firefox works after that?

Hello,

can you please try restarting Firefox in safe mode, on Windows you can do it by simply pressing and olding SHIFT key and double clicking Firefox icon on the desktop.

Try disabling Hardware Acceleration.

  2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
  3. Click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
  4. Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.

    The image "fpSettings1.PNG" does not exist.
  5. Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
  6. Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
