When I try to make a new post in Facebook on Firefox 53, it frequently crashes

When I try to make a new post in Facebook on Firefox 53, it frequently crashes - as soon as I place the cursor in the blank for a new post, the area in which to make a new post disappears. I end up using Google Chrome (which I dislike) to make a new post.

For about 1.5 to 2 months, this has been happening. I even did a reinstall of Windows 10 on my Asus notebook (not for this reason) and then installed Firefox fresh - that was about 1 month ago. The problem occurred right away after they were both reinstalled.

I have Windows 10 Home Edition Version 1703 64-bit operating system, x-64-based processor

I see Firefox version is listed as 53.0.3 (32-bit)

I wonder if Firefox version is supposed to be "64-bit"? I notice that even though I have a 64-bit computer, frequently the software installed is the "32-bit" version.

"32-bit" is the standard install.

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Only one shows up on the screen when I do that.

54aa6940-c2b3-4f33-b61c-006d24abef53

that was supposedly at 4:48 AM (it is not 5:31 PM).

The problems I posted about has occurred since then, today, and no "crash report" appears about that on my screen.

I guess technically the problem is not a "crash", but a malfunction. That woul explain why it did not show up in the about:crashes report.

Some of your crash reports weren’t sent to the Mozilla Servers.

The one I listed in my reply was one not submitted. The ones that were submitted (if more were) I cannot make visible by clicking on anything, as far as I know.

I just clicked on the one report I included above, and now I hit the back arrow. Here is a copy and paste, then file saved to MS Paint.
