This has happened randomly on several different computers, both windows and ubuntu linux. It just now happened on my Win 11 computer. Was viewing the CNN news site and FF suddenly closed, without a "FF crashed..." message.When I clicked the icon to reopen it, it came up with the home page group of tabs instead of reopening the windows and tabs that were opened when it crashed. Worse, none of the previous months of history shows up and recently closed tabs and windows are both greyed out.

Is there a way of recovering the history of what I was working on at the time of the crash and what the hell is causing this? I am close to dumping FF and going with something else as this is highly annoying.

Hello, I've been watching MSNOW at 4pm eastern and after about half an hour it crashes. I get a message to send a report and restore the tab. I restore the tab which works for maybe ten minutes and crashes again. I am using Windows 11 on a new computer. I'd appreciate some assistance. Thanks. Bruce Caress

Moderator note: This question has been edited to precise Firefox and OS version, based on the crash reports.

Firefox keeps crashing after only 2cminutes of use on Amdroid-here's the message:

I am running Windows 11 Pro 25H2. After updating Thunderbird recently to the latest version, it is crashing immediately upon starting Thunderbird, not even bringing up the initial screen.

The message is

"Thunderbird has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."

In addition, it brings up the Mozilla Crash Reporter, which states

"We are sorry

Thunderbird had a problem and crashed. We will try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts."

I do not want to lose all my old POP3 messages, etc.

Please help, Nina
