Firefox Community Forum

Firefox repeatedly crashes on my, multiple times a day. I'dc really like to NOT have to change my default browser to Chrome.

What happens is that Firefox freezes, and I get a white bar at the top telling me so. I get a popup box asking if I want to close Firefox or wait for it to respond. Waiting doesn't work, so I always have to close Firefox. When I reopen it, fortunately all m,y open tabs are retained, but it crashes again within minutes or seconds as soon as I click on anything.

There only thing that seems to work is a reboot of my PC. But the respite is short before Firefox crashes again.

I've disabled most plugins, but that hasn't helped. Is there a way to create an event log within Firefox that I can share with someone at Mozilla to help e debug the issue? It's got to be something local rather than Firefox itself; I can't imagine this is happening to most users.

Since a few days, Firefox started crashing each time I receive a notification.

For example, with this notifications test website: https://www.bennish.net/web-notifications.html

Each time I click on the "Show" button to display a notification, Firefox becomes completely unresponsive: the content of the window is completely frozen and I can't click on anything. I must close it and restart it to make it work again. When I restart it, a dialog displays:

> Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window.

In both applications, the notification is never shown: the freeze occurs before.

I tried the following changes but they did not stop the issue from occuring:

- Deactivating hardware acceleration - Troubleshooting mode - Deactivating firefox notifications in Windows - Deactivating `alerts.useSystemBackend` and `alerts.useSystemBackend.windows.notificationserver.enabled` in `about:config`

At the same time, I noticed that Thunderbird (v144.0.1, 64bits) started having the same issue. It haappens each time I receive a new message in the background and a notification should appear. Maybe this is related?

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.

Firefox is crashing for me pretty consistently. It was happening with a significant amount of time in between each one but has escalated to the point where it is happening once every few minutes now. I have checked for updates and ran Firefox in troubleshoot mode. There are no updates available for me, and it still crashed in troubleshoot mode. My most recent crash report is bp-462fb540-28d6-4d0c-8007-6428d0251028. I am running Pop!os and recently did a firmware update, so I am wondering if that is where the problem is originating from since I had no issues with Firefox prior to that update.

Hello. I had been experiencing a lot of freezes, hang ups, and disconnectivity with crash messages asking me to either restart Firefox, or quit firefox ! I finally just recently downloaded again from your website and in order to function it defaulted to Safe Mode. How do I correct this ? Note: The website is currently operational but not at 100% ! When in Settings nothing can be done and it advises that it's because it's in Safe Mode ! How do I correct this ?

Every day when I try to open a new tab in Firefox, whether by link or directly, I get the error message "Gah, Your tab just crashed." I have used Firefox as my primary browser for 10 years. If I reboot the computer this solves the problem, but I am not going to do this every day. All the other browsers work. This just started five days ago and I made no changes to Firefox. Help!

I wanted to report that Firefox froze or crashed. I could not close it and had to Endtask it. I am running the latest version supposedly on Windows 11. Why did this occur?

Mozilla Firefox began to crash all the time; crashes happen almost every ten minutes, and it happens with every site. It still lasts about for several weeks. I tried to reinstall Firefox; I updated my drivers for my computer; I cleared cash and history in the settings; I tried to delete some files from Firefox's folder. All these things did not help. The crashes may happen with any site, and it can happen any time. I have no problem with memory shortage. My system consists of Ryzen 7 5800x, Radeon RX 7800 XT and G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 2x16Gb.

Hello, since about 2 months, my Firefox stops working: message "not working", now it becomes very frequent, almost each day. What is happening and how I can solve the problem? Thanks for help in advance. Theo Köppen@gmail.com

OK, I have never had this happen with Firefox before but it will just freeze, then do nothing then Explorer will crash, every time. I have no idea why its doing this, my drivers are all up to date, Windows is up to date and theres no viruses on my PC. Its annoying.

Why is this browser crashing after a couple of downloads using the extensions for youtube downloader?i have youtube premium but when i download tunes so i can mix them after roughly 15 mins i have to force quit Firefox ?

Firefox began crashing a few days ago and has crashed during each log in and use today. Most recently trying to download and print documents. I have disabled all extensions, have text file of the Third=Party modules and Submitted Crash Reports.

This morning, Firefox updated automatically to Firefox 144. However, this update completely broke Firefox; every tab crashed, and I couldn't even use Firefox to get to this help site.

Changing my OS is not an option for me; those decisions are made far, far away. I was allowed to use Firefox instead of Chrome. Sadly, I have to switch over to Chrome today in order to work.  :(

I have added a couple of screenshots.

I am moving over to Chrome to do some work.

Thanks for any help, B
