I use Linux Mint and I have been experiencing numerous system crashes involving Firefox which requires a cold boot. What is the problem? How can I debug this? Are you getting crash reports?’
This happens several times a week. It has happened continuously tonight since installing the latest update via the Software Manager.
The program causes a total freeze of the OS. All other running programs and all input sources. I have no choice but to shut down via the power button on the tower.
Mint generates crash reports but I have no way to determine if they are being sent to Mozilla.
Firefox for Linux does not provide a troubleshooting system like it does on Windows. Neither does Mint.
I studied Computer Science in the 80s when Firefox was known as Navigator. I learned C and the Unix OS, but since then I became a psychologist, and don't remember too much of the Com Sci stuff I learned and I don't think Mint allows user modifications anyway.
What can be done to fix this? I don't have the Benjamins to buy a new Windows to replace the Linux, nor do I want to.
