I've got constant crashes jn last update Firefox 148.0.2 (Desktop). Often it happens when Google Meets launched in browser and i started switch between tabs or another applications. In Widows logs i found this error: Имя сбойного приложения: firefox.exe, версия: 0.0.0.0, метка времени: 0x00000000 Имя сбойного модуля: unknown, версия: 0.0.0.0, метка времени: 0x00000000 Код исключения: 0xc00000fd Смещение ошибки: 0x00007ffce9d07286 Идентификатор сбойного процесса: 0x0x3F64 Время запуска сбойного приложения: 0x0x1DCB6A7BAE6121F Путь сбойного приложения: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Путь сбойного модуля: unknown Идентификатор отчета: 1a851f87-1b94-4270-8d86-a6850200a62b Полное имя сбойного пакета: Код приложения, связанного со сбойным пакетом:

Hello,

I would like to report a potential bug in Mozilla Firefox related to recent updates.

After downloading a PDF file and opening it directly in the browser, the tab crashes. Following this crash, it becomes impossible to open any files (regardless of file type) within the browser — every attempt results in another tab crash. The crash report cannot be reviewed, as the tab fails immediately and can only be closed.

As a temporary workaround, changing the default PDF handler to an external application prevents the issue. However, this is not a viable solution for us, since some of our internal systems require PDFs to open directly in the browser after download.

We have verified that this issue does NOT occur in version 148.0.2 — everything works correctly there. However, after updating to version 149.0, the problem reappears consistently. Firefox also automatically updates after synchronization, making it difficult to remain on a stable version.

According to the release notes, there were changes in PDF handling in recent updates, so this may be related to a technical regression.

Could you please investigate this issue or advise on a proper fix or workaround?

Best regards, Daniel Mazur VanityStyle IT Specialist

My firefox has been closing while I am away from my computers. I have a few computer running linux (Ubuntu 24.04) and one in mac osx (Big Sur). Usually, I can start firefox and it will remember my tabs which is annoying but still manageable. However, once in a while, (which happened yesterday), all the firefox closed on all the computers and it forgot my tabs when I start firefox again.

I have already set app.update.auto to false on all of the firefox instance prior to this incident to avoid firefox update would close out firefox itself. So if anyone has any idea of what to check to see why firefox keep closing and/or why once in a while it will not remember my tabs, I would really appreciate it.

I had an issue where my browser disappeared. Here are specifics for my installation.

Name Firefox Version 142.0.1 Build ID 20250827004350 Distribution ID raspberrypios User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0 OS Linux 6.12.62+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.62-1+rpt1~bookworm (2026-01-19)

I relaunched and then restored previous session. After that, I searched open tabs, but when I selected a tab that was reported to be opened,  it was not restored. I went to troubleshooting mode and it worked fine suggesting some issue with an extension.  What, if any logs could I capture to help debug? thanks

Just got my repaired laptop back. Windows Home 23H2 build 22631.6199. Installed Firefox, synched my account. Firefox or a firefox tab have crashed 19 times in the last 3 days since the fresh install.

Youre pissing your userbase off.

Sincerely,

Disappointed.

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

The dialogue box says "The application is exiting and cannot service this request"

Nonetheless Firefox seem to be functioning as I would expect apart from the irritating appearance of the dialogue box that I have described.

I attached a scan of the dialogue box - how do I prevent it appearing and/or is it signifying anything important,

Windows 11 Home Version 25H2

my firefox keep crashing when i join google meet and i need to do multitask so i open another firefox windows(private or not) it always crash few second after, i have tried the trouble shoot mode its still crashing, even the new windows from SSO request do trigger my firefox to crash. when the browser crash it does offer me to restore my session

Okay. So I downloaded Firefox on my chromebook from flathub, but it keeps crashing. I open a new tab: it crashes. I close a tab: it crashes. I don't open or close anything: it crashes. I don't touch anything: it crashes.

I've says that either my theme or one of my add-ons is causing the crashes but I removed my theme and it still crashes and I can't remove any add-on because it crashes if I try to open a new tab.

Now, did/does anyone else have this problem or am I just stupid and missing a very obvious thing.

why does my fire fox keep crashing the screen goes black i get tab just crashed already updated and cleaned my ram and did everything i could think of and still crashing am still crashing on troubleshooting mode

why im cant set www.http//firefox for home page.??why we have to re store evetime when we washing a movie,,,then they automatic to ture off ?are they have any shearch with out of the google ?

Hello, I’ve been increasingly frustrated over the past few weeks with your browser, which I prefer over all the others, because it keeps crashing constantly. I’ve tried several small fixes suggested by IT professionals, such as clearing the cache, running an antivirus scan, and deleting my browsing history, but the issue persists with no improvement. At this point, my last option seems to be uninstalling and reinstalling the application, but I’m concerned about losing my bookmarks. Could you please advise me on how to resolve this issue? M.

Hello everyone,

yesterday I got quite a scare. While Firefox was open, a new tab briefly appeared showing the page about:processes, and immediately afterwards the browser closed itself on its own.

At the same time, Chrome was open in the background. When I clicked on Chrome, a prompt appeared asking whether I wanted to allow changes to be made to the system (the typical UAC prompt). However, I’m not entirely sure if this was actually triggered by Chrome or possibly by another application.

I clicked “No” on the UAC prompt and immediately unplugged my keyboard. I recently started using an ASUS ROG Falcata, which is connected via USB.

After that, I ran a virus scan with Windows Defender — it didn’t find anything. I also ran AdwCleaner, which also came up clean.

At first, I suspected the ASUS ROG Falcata (I’ve only been using it for a few days), since it’s almost like a small computer itself and can execute macros, patterns, etc. I was worried about a possible firmware bug or something worse. At the moment, I’m honestly hesitant to plug it back in and am using an old Dell keyboard instead.

Importantly, I wasn’t pressing any keys at the time of the incident.

Now I’m quite unsure what could have caused this.

Is there any way to trace this in Firefox (e.g., via logs)?

And is there any (event) log where I could check what triggered the UAC prompt?

One more thing I noticed: I shut down the PC afterward and turned it back on later that evening. Everything booted normally and is still running fine today. However, Firefox updated itself yesterday from version 148.2 to 149. Maybe that was somehow related (though there’s no indication in the Firefox update history that anything failed or similar).
