My firefox randomly crashes every 2 minutes after updating to the newest version (157.0.1（64 bit）). Here are the four crash reports I got today. bp-7b30056f-c2e1-455d-b352-e3b400261009 bp-5088479d-93ac-4482-91e7-6c7a10261009 bp-f0e865a5-764e-4de3-a3af-440f40261009 bp-2b41e32b-24b5-404d-9966-26abc0261009

Firefox (currently 157) continually crashes on my Windows 10 machine. Task Manager shows Firefox downloading sub apps (currently, 11) until memory is full. Then Firefox crashes. Task Manager shows 11 sub apps open right now using 537Mb of memory. I opened in troubleshoot mode. If I open in normal mode, more than 1Gb will be used with 14 or 15 sub apps downloaded. Only two tabs are shown as being opened. This started with one of the earlier updates and newer updates didn't fix the problem. Even emptying the cache didn't help. Do you recommend totally deleting Firefox and starting over from scratch?

FireFox Browser Crashing from Multiple Windows with Dual Monitors causing memory crashes in gnome.

google chrome used to have a brower extension called "The Great Suspender" to stop these crashes. If firefox can't figure this out I am not going to continue using firefox and go back to chrome.

Does FF have a maximum number of windows / tabs that can be open at one time? I use 12 workspaces each with multiple windows / tabs in them, roughly guessing ~100 windows and ~8-50 tabs per window

FF randomly hangs / crashes 1-3 times a day for me and has been for some time (over multiple revisions of FF; currently 157.0.1) requiring restarting FF

System: Large workstation, 128G memory, i9-7920x (12c / 24T) Linux, OpenSuSE Leap 15.6 FF source from FF repos, not OpenSuSE

Any settings I need to change to prevent the crashes?

And it is rather annoying that the report does not tell me which addon is misbehaving either. I do know it runs just fine without any addons enabled so hence, the problem lies with a buggy addon and I'm left in the dark about which one.

My Apple desktop crashes frequently in different applications (while in gmail, on Facebook, etc.) and it sends a report to Apple every time. It never does it if I use Safari. If I can reload Firefox to fix it please let me know how to do that. Thanks.

Firefox tabs keep crashing for no apparent reason after this Nova update (its not website specific). here's a list of my top five Submitted Crash Reports (there are dozens more but ill keep this brief): Report ID Date Submitted

i don't believe its memory issues because my PC has 61.6 GB of 474 GB free, and i never got these crashes before the update, with the same amount of data. dunno what else to add here, let me know if i need to provide something more

I have been having random crashes Firefox Snap on Kubuntu 24.04 (and now 26.04). Sometimes Firefox will run stably for over an hour, sometimes it will crash in less then a minute from (re-)launch. I have tried the usual troubleshooting steps of 'run in troubleshoot mode', 'refresh', disable plugins, but the crashing seems to happen even when running in troubleshoot mode. I also have not been able to figure out any kind of event or user-action that triggers the crash; it might happen while browsing, it might happen while I am not even at my computer. At first I thought 'the Devs will handle this', but it has been some 6 months so I think my case is not very common/pressing to the community. I'd like to take a more proactive approach in solving the problem. I am still a novice at software fixing, so I might have skipped or missed a very basic step in the '10 things to try to fix Firefox'.

I downgraded to Firefox 140ESR yesterday to get rid of the silly circles and gradients. The update was so visually distracting I found the browser to be unusable. However, now almost any website I visit gives me a Gah your tab just crashed. Is there a way to fix this while staying on 140ESR? Please refrain from answering if your solution is to upgrade. Thanks.

Yesterday morning my Firefox was updated to version 157 and ever since it reopened it has crashed too many times to count. Sometimes it will run for 20-30 minutes, but then it will crash repeatedly in just a few moments or a few minutes after reporting the crash and restarting. I already tried reinstalling the current version with no success in solving the problem. I could not even keep it from crashing while trying to type this question, so I am now using MS Edge as my browser until I can find a fix for Firefox.

Running Windows 10 (have extended security updates). Starting at version 153.0 Firefox hangs (spinning cursor) until Windows realizes it is not responding and lets me stop the program. Seems to be independent of the website (even happened on a Mozilla page). Have tried a couple of 153.xx updates and also 154 but behaves the same. On a Dell Inspiron 7570:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz 1.99 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.84 GB usable) Storage 932 GB HDD ST1000LX015-1U7172 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 940MX (4 GB), Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (128 MB) Device ID 8036C0FE-3179-4D8D-8C72-672ED25B0ABA Product ID 00325-96206-88905-AAOEM System Type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch points

Been happening for almost 2 months now and getting more frequent. What happens is FF opens normally , but reacts sluggishly. Many instances of "not responding". When I close the program , it takes several minutes to close. In Task Manager , it shows disk usage at 100% , CPU at as high as 50% , and memory at 4 gigs prior to crashing. This is on a Windows 11 Pro system with the latest updates and the latest FF.

Below are the 5 latest crash reports:

There is nothing obviously happening with my browser. It doesn't crash when I am using it. But I keep getting, several times/day, the dialog box shown in added images below.
