I have Firefox running on 3 machines, only one of them is synced to my Firefox account, so that means that I am not running the same addons on all of them.
I have Firefox running on Windows 10 and the two other are running on Windows 11.
From time to time, I notice that Firefox is running slow and its unable to open normal websites like facebook, instagram, youtube, or any other website that I normally browse, and when I check the Task Manager I can notice one unusual exe running named "crashhelper.exe" which is located in the Firefox installation directory and its signed by Mozilla. Once I kill this task Firefox continues working as nothing happened.
This is happening since the last update which was few weeks ago (if I remember correctly).
What is this app doing and why it is making Firefox stop opening websites?
