Firefox Community Forum

I have used Firefox for the last 10+ years. Last week Firefox automatically updated itself. Thereafter, all tabs crash. I can not open a blank, new tab. It crashes too.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same thing happens. All tabs crash.

It will be unfortunate if I can't fix this issue and have to give up Firefox and switch to a different browser. But right now, I'm not seeing any alternative.

Anytime I post or comment on Facebook and use FB emojis, FireFox crashes. (they also take forever to load and show up in posts, comments, etc) I've done the clear cache, etc, as in past suggestions, but doesn't help. I have no issues with using FB emojis in Chrome.

It opened every time I typed.

I asked ChatGPT and turned off both "Search page when you start typing" in settings and made some config files to block it.

It still shows up when I press ' or / outside a text input.

There are video playback issues on both desktop Firefox and Android Firefox, but there is no category for both. However, I considered not being able to play the videos at all a more serious issue.

https://files.catbox.moe/aypxqq.mp4 This is a sample video.

The HEVC video plays on android, but with lag as if there were no hardware acceleration while it plays fine on Chromium-based browsers. This same issue was present on desktop Firefox, but then hevc support disappeared in one of the updates altogether.

https://ott.dolby.com/codec_test/index.html

This page shows that HEVC isn't supported, despite nobody on the web reporting this bug. And neither is HDR supported for some reason. Despite Firefox Android having the same report from that site apart from the user agent, it's seemingly able to decode that video on CPU, whereas on Windows it shows a Mimetype error. Disabling hardware acceleration doesn't make Firefox play it on the CPU. Is there a fix for these?

I got tired of the popups hounding me to upgrade firefox to 135.0.1, so yesterday I finally did it. Now today all I get from firefox is this error; Gah. Your tab just crashed. We can help! Choose Restore This Tab or Restore All Crashed Tabs to reload the page/pages. I opened closed it, rebooted, different urls. Firefox doesnt work at all. I had to use chrome to ask this question.

An error msg that starts with (GAH)!! is this for real?

After upgrading FF to 135.0.1 it always fails giving me this error: Gah. Your tab just crashed. We can help! Choose Restore This Tab or Restore All Crashed Tabs to reload the page/pages.

I opened closed it, rebooted, different urls. Firefox doesnt work at all. I had to use Chrome to ask this question.

Hi there,

I'm running Firefox (136.0.1) on my mac laptop (MacOs 15.1) Just recently it has started silently failing. I move away from the window and after a short period (hour or so) I can see it is no longer running. When I start it again it offers to recover the session for me.

I've tried checking about:crashes but it just says no crash reports have been submitted. There are no details of unsubmitted reports.

Thanks, John

I am getting crashes with the latest Win7 ESR release (115.21.0esr).

Looking at the crash report indicates EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ. Crash Address is 0xfffffffffffffffb

I was running ESR fine on my old Win7 system, but then I think I recently updated to this release and started seeing these constant crashes.

The crashes usually happen when I try to load a new page or click on a link that loads a new page, but sometimes it also crashes when I close a tab. Certain URLs almost always seem to causes the browser to crash (for instance https://www.gog.com/redeem, although I did get it to work once), but other sites seem to work fine and never crash.

I started a new profile with no add-ons, etc. and still same crashes (see below report ID for this crash).

I haven't seen any other problems on my system other than Firefox crashing, so don't thing it is a problem other than something internal to this version of Firefox, but I could be wrong about that...

Report ID: bp-8ae3019e-f76d-40d2-b62f-da84f0250314

Thanks for any help you can provide!
