Firefox crashes all the time. Sometimes it makes me manually shut it down with a one-click dialogue box. Other times, it's a two click dialogue box where I click "close firefox" and then have to click again to close the box. This doesn't seem to change performance, but it's a bother. Is there a way for me to fix this?

Here is the current situation.

Firefox is consistently crashing in Windows 11, either a tab crash or the application itself. I'm not sure how to resolve it at this point. It was sufficiently bad that at first I assumed this was a problem with my Windows 11 installation, and did a complete reinstall of the OS followed by a fresh install of Firefox.

That did not resolve the problem. Firefox is still crashing.

I completely replaced the SSD assuming there was some kind of read/write problem between it and Firefox, did a clean install of Win11 and Firefox, and instead of porting my profile ported only my bookmarks and passwords into a new profile.

It's still happening. I don't know what to do at this point.

Every couple of days, I have a day when Firefox tabs keep crashing. Today, for instance! Here's my latest collection of crash reports:

Help me, Obi-Wan

I did a "dnf update" on my system yesterday which upgraded firefox from 137 to 138, however I don't think that is the issue because I downgraded back to 137 and removed the ~/.mozilla directory to create a new profile and I have the same issue. So this might be an issue with Fedora. When I started with a new profile after removing ~/.mozilla using either v137 or v138 when I get to the create a master password in settings firefox freezes and I have to kill it. Before downgrading and creating a new profile I first noticed the issue when I went to a site with a saved login and when I clicked on the password box to bring up the saved password firefox froze. Just accessing the password menu will cause it to freeze. Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

Since downloading the New upgrade today I cannot access anything! TAb crashes everytime. Wish I could go back as have used firefox for years and will now have to find alternative. Have had use the dreaded chrome to post this!

For whatever reason every time 'Firefox' browser goes down my email shuts down also. This did not happen prior to trashcan Win!!(recently installed). It's a pain in the ass having to reactivate 'Firefox' then contact my email server to reactivate my email service. Any assist is appreciated. TangoYankee in advance.

Every time I attempt to open any tab on my laptop computer I get the following message.

Gah. Your tab just crashed. We can help! Choose Restore this Tab to reload the page.

(Two buttons)

Close Tab Restore This Tab

Unable to restore tab. It is impossible to use the Firefox with this upgrade. Looks like I need to find another browser.

Hello,

We ran in-place upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on a number of machines. Afterwards, web sites like citibank.com or linkedin.com crash as soon as the page is loaded.

We've uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox, deleted all data, nothing worked.

Anyone else experience this problem? Is there a fix?

Thank you!

For the last two days, I have been ubable to access settings (X,). When I click the settings cog in th toolbar, thr toolbar grays out. I have also tried to access settings using the Hamburger Menu, clicking on settings, with the same result. I have clicked on Firefox in the menu tab, same result.

I have closed and restarted Firefox, with the same result.

Additionally, I can only close Firefox by force quitting. I don't know if the two are connected.

TIA. Keith

Thank you Michael

I'm not sure when this 136.0.1 update happened but starting today, firefox has been crashing all day. The symptom when I see it is I can't get to a website I then go over to the the help desk (open in firefox), which auto refreshes every couple minutes, is spinning (not updating). If I open a new instance the UI never completely loads. When I close things, then try to open, it says firefox already running and if to quit, yes, and just no UI completely loads. In the end, it will only start working again if I reboot. Several reports were sent to microsoft (the automatic notifying microsoft of issue).

I tried disabling all plugins and same thing still happens.

I do know the helpdesk website had a new certificate installed yesterday. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. It's not like firefox doesn't work when first bringing it up, it works for a while then all of a sudden doesn't? and then starts crashing.

Is anyone else having an issue with the latest version on Win10 x64 using the x64 version of FireFox?

I'm using chrome right now since it just crashed again in "not responding" state. I'd rather stay with FireFox.

i am not happy right now, lately mozilla is crashing and requesting restart on sensitive documents and not restoring previous sessions, i spend lots of time and energy filling documents for it to just mysteriously vanish my hard work, so not happy right now.
