I hate Google Chrome, but if tabs don't crash every 30 seconds like the NEW and IMPROVED Firefox, maybe I can get some work done!

Chosen solution

Was good of you to get to the point.

go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check (put a tick in the box) the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.

Monitor in Task Manager. Should stay below 2 gigs. If excessive then do below and monitor and change if need to...Test and go up again , go back down, it will eventually get a zone you and it can live with.

Go to the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.

Note : Hardware Acceleration is for Video Card, Monitor to see if remain off or to turn back on.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

This forum is for FF issue not Chrome issue that is handled by their own Forum that you can use FF to get to to ask your question. I installed Chrome along with FF and have no issues using either one to log onto FF forum.

My actual issue is with Fx! Every minute or so I get a total crash! Stupid message says,"Gah! Your Tab Just Crashed." I cannot use my Amazon Seller App without crashing Firefox. I have stayed with Firefox for years. I think the Genius that designed the New and Improved Quantum version Has improved it to death. For now I must use Chrome in order to make a living! I apologize for sarcasm which seems to be incomprehensible on this forum.
