No crash report, no warning; just GONE! Second laptop that this happens with (Dell Precision 7510) Other browsers (IE, Chrome) work fine. MIGHT be worse in morning hours. Last anywhere from seconds to hours. May be in the middle of being used or may be idle. May or may not have ANY pages open. Might have started with Windows 10 upgrade about 2 mos ago. Tried re-boot, clean install, different laptop, cleared cache

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
