Just updated to FF73 in linux and the browser crashes immediately on startup
Only in Linux, fortunately. I'm using FFox 73.0 in Windows 7 to write this. I'm running Slacko puppy ver 6.3.0. Until now, FFox has run in it flawlessly. No access to safe mode in this OS. Holding down the <Shift> key starts Geany editor. I've run the FF script in console and have a screenshot.jpg file available for upload. Only a few lines, then the Ffox crash reporter appears. Not too useful. I'll try restoring FFox from a backup and see if I missed something.
Chosen solution
Confirming the success of FF 74.0 running in Slacko puppy linux. Many thanks to all of you in the community who helped with this bug. I'm back.

Sorry for the tardiness. Health issues that needed resolving as well. Found a bunch of reports dating back a ways. Not sure what the old ones were about now, but likely missing libraries or power failures. The first two listed below are the recent update failure
