Firefox will crash and have the "not responding " tag at the end of the program bar. This happened several times while the following tabs were open... Gmail inbox ESPN.go.com drudgereport.com 2016 accu weather for hurricane Joaquin http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT11/refresh/AL1115W5_NL+gif/205452W5_NL_sm.gif foxnews.com Facebook wall street Journal amazon

Is this simply too many tabs or services running simultaniosly or is there something else going on? I do not get a fire fox crash report, but i was able to create a program dump from windows task manager. Let me know if it is needed.

hi jkbfox, there is currently an increase of such reports and the soruce seem to be sites that have embedded content for the flash plugin. firefox developers are looking into that issue and investigating a fix. would you be willing to see if the problem is fixed with this test build and report back with your results soon?: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/41.0.1-candidates/build2/win32/ (click on your language, then download and install the "Firefox Setup 41.0.1.exe")
