I have used Firefox for years with no real problems. I am running Windows 10. Now, within the last month or so, Firefox has started just crashing. It shuts down for no apparent reason, 2-3 TIMES A DAY. I could be just reading and the browser will just shut down. Firefox is no longer a reliable browser to use. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue. If it can't be fixed, I will just have to stop using the browser. I can't have it just randomly shut down, OFTEN!!

Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ? Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings

If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file. How to determine the appropriate page file size for 64-bit versions of Windows {web link}
