Hi, something happened, and same computer working good for a long time, now is crashing as crazy. i sent a bunch of reports few minutes ago, one of them is bp-2d239006-2355-4fb0-b78e-76cce0230622. i can see my win 10 is not configured to work with Mozilla software (both Thunderbird and Firefox i am using crashes and no other programs i am using does this). i don't know exactly why, you know better from all those reports, i would like to get rid of them, be back a happy user, for sure. shouldn't all crashes be handled by the programs? let say it is a memory problem, an OS problem, anything and everything - when a program crashes, it didn't handle the situation. I'm not more a programmer, but if i give to someone a program which crashes, and after i tell him it is your environment, what kind of programmer i am? what knows the user? why is not possible to verify you will have the memory you want to use before using it? if there is no space find out, and handle it. you choose to crash. -- i replaced the hdd, (but i copy the same data on the new one) i replaced the memory, i replaced the motherboard, i replaced everything, but not the software. it is not a hardware problem here. only a bad management, os - program, ... program! thanks for your help.

What OS are you using as I'm not aware that Windows 10 works on a 32-bit device and the crash report shows x86 or are you using 32-bit Firefox on 64-bit Windows for some reason ?

There is not much (virtual) memory available for Firefox to work with, so it isn't a big surprise that you suffer from OOM crashes.

the windows 10 is x86. there is no virtual memory - configured to not have virtual memory - (system use only one ssd hdd, it is not good to have virtual memory enabled) why the program doesn't see there is no virtual memory and would try to ask for something which doesn't exists?
