Firefox Community Forum

I just today upgraded to Windows 11 using the save apps and files option. Now I notice several times that Firefox occasionally crashes to a white, then black screen which requires me to log back into my windows account. Is this a known issue?

When I login to amazon, it asks my user name (normal), then asks my password (normal), then when it sends a code to my phone, it freezes the entire browser and I have to force quit Firefox. Been happening a week, I've cleared history, run several programs (Malwarebytes and CCleaner-with normal results) and restarted my computer (Macbook Air running Sequoia 15.6.1). Any fix for this?

I wasn't sure what to select for the type of question so you can move it if you think another type would be better. I would have selected crashes but that isn't an option.

It happened again a few minutes ago while watching Star Trek First Contact. The Phoenix was about to go to warp and Firefox CTD with no crash reporter and when I looked in about:crashes there was no crash report. This exact situation happened twice while watching the movie Signal unknown or whatever the title is.

I have been having issues with Firefox since the new update. It will work for 5-10 minutes and then cashes and freezes my Macbook. I then have to restart my entire system. I have always loved using Firefox but lately its more of a pain and have been thinking of changing,

I keep getting sporadic crashes, and sometimes a tab crash (particularly on maps.google.com). I have the latest updates to all my software. What can I do to help prevent these crashes?

hi when I play on facebook june's journey the game starts to crash in several different ways, windows 10 is supposed to start on october but I have been having lots of problems on mine since they send the end agreement notice, I am a 76 grandparent and I am not interested in new changes I am ok with my computer as it is, I've paid for windows 10 when it came out, and i will not pay again for a new one. Appreciate all the help I can get from you and many thanks in advance for your help

is anyone else having issues with this POS browser shutting down unexpectedly FREQUENTLY for NO reason. I thought the first dozen or so times it was updates, but only once or twice there was mention of new feature. I am SO over it and think Chrome with it's risks IS the smarter move

I have Windows 11 and just installed the latest Firefox update (145). But every time I try to open a site, the page crashes. I seem to be able to work in troubleshooting mode, but otherwise I'm dead in the water.

Is there any way to roll back to version 144?

Help!

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?

Every time I attempt to log into X.com the Firefox browser stops working entirely. Dead. Nothing. Won't open or function. Need to restart my computer to access and use Firefox. This does not happen when I use Chrome.
