Repeated Desktop Crash / Lost Windows

Vitharr

For two separate days this week, Firefox 'updates' or something similar crashed my desktop and laptop. (Both are about 2 years old and have Ubuntu 24.04 with the latest updates.) The first crash on my desktop began with it simply stopping. It didn't respond at all. When I finally rebooted it, and opened Firefox, it was obvious that Firefox had caused the crash, because the first thing that came up was the 'Bring your friends back to Firefox' window. 'Crash' here means that I couldn't even do a warm reboot, instead I had to completely unplug my desktop, wait 30 seconds, then reboot. (The reboot took forever, however I finally managed to do it.) Also, after the latest Firefox 'update' on my laptop, every Firefox window and tab on my laptop was lost, so rest assured I'm not going to be asking anyone to use Firefox, as the recent 'Bring your friends back to Firefox' tab requests.

Note that this is a recurring problem. This is just the first time I've gotten angry enough to post about it.

FIX THIS!

Meanwhile, I'm going to search for 'reliable' browsers for Ubuntu. Firefox doesn't seem to qualify any more. (Even the bold and italic buttons in this message box don't work correctly.)

Firefox used to be a decent browser. I even contributed to it and to Thunderbird.

I also write and share software occasionally, so I understand about problems with deployed versions. I always check mine before I upload them to be certain they work as they should. I suggest that to Firefox.

I doubt that this is something that actually has an 'answer' since it seems to be a Firefox installation problem. The update process needs to be made reliable, not crash Ubuntu installations, and needs to not destroy existing windows and tabs.

I sincerely hope Firefox can do this.
