Mozilla Firefox began to crash all the time; crashes happen almost every ten minutes, and it happens with every site. It still lasts about for several weeks. I tried to reinstall Firefox; I updated my drivers for my computer; I cleared cash and history in the settings; I tried to delete some files from Firefox's folder. All these things did not help. The crashes may happen with any site, and it can happen any time. I have no problem with memory shortage. My system consists of Ryzen 7 5800x, Radeon RX 7800 XT and G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 2x16Gb.

I get the message: We're Sorry Firfox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows. To help us diagnose and fix this problem, you can send us a crash report. I sent the crash report multiple times.

I added a screenshot of my MacBook Air info.

This has happened randomly on several different computers, both windows and ubuntu linux. It just now happened on my Win 11 computer. Was viewing the CNN news site and FF suddenly closed, without a "FF crashed..." message.When I clicked the icon to reopen it, it came up with the home page group of tabs instead of reopening the windows and tabs that were opened when it crashed. Worse, none of the previous months of history shows up and recently closed tabs and windows are both greyed out.

Is there a way of recovering the history of what I was working on at the time of the crash and what the hell is causing this? I am close to dumping FF and going with something else as this is highly annoying.

• OS: Debian (trixie)
• Firefox version: 149.0b3

Firefox suddenly crashes without any displayed error. Attempt to troubleshoot it in "safe mode" doesn't help (it also suddenly crashes.

• When I had redirected following output: "Exiting due to channel error."
• after restart, I launched "about:crashes", but there were no entries

Firefox just updated to 152 this evening on my Windows 11 Pro system. It seems slow compared to prior versions. Also , every time you log out , it crashes and activates crashreporter which files the report. Any clues? Nothing changed on the system except for Firefox.

My Firefox Browser keeps crashing at random times. I was using Chrome previously and it was worse than the Firefox performance. I just installed 128 GB of brand new DDR5 RAM which I tested in windows with no error. I have no malware on my computer currently. I ran all of the usual checks that you suggested with regard to extensions and cache. Here is the most recent report ID that was generated by Firefox:

bp-7c5d5dcf-2fc9-40a3-9659-ff55f0250424

I did a "dnf update" on my system yesterday which upgraded firefox from 137 to 138, however I don't think that is the issue because I downgraded back to 137 and removed the ~/.mozilla directory to create a new profile and I have the same issue. So this might be an issue with Fedora. When I started with a new profile after removing ~/.mozilla using either v137 or v138 when I get to the create a master password in settings firefox freezes and I have to kill it. Before downgrading and creating a new profile I first noticed the issue when I went to a site with a saved login and when I clicked on the password box to bring up the saved password firefox froze. Just accessing the password menu will cause it to freeze. Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

I got this new Chromebook, and now I'm having issues using YouTube. When I select a video to watch, a message pops up at the top saying "To play video, you may need to install the required video codecs." I am able to watch the video I selected anyhow, with some minor issues with the picture and its frames I believe, however, when I try to watch a different video, it does not work. Sometimes it will play for a short bit, but will then stop, and start buffering. When I then refresh the page, the video will not play and will only buffer. I am not sure what to do, and if this is an issue with the browser, or the device itself, please help?

Hello, I've been watching MSNOW at 4pm eastern and after about half an hour it crashes. I get a message to send a report and restore the tab. I restore the tab which works for maybe ten minutes and crashes again. I am using Windows 11 on a new computer. I'd appreciate some assistance. Thanks. Bruce Caress

Moderator note: This question has been edited to precise Firefox and OS version, based on the crash reports.

About 3-4 months ago I started experiencing frequent tab crashes, to the point where if I have even 2 tabs open, one will be non-responsive until the crash page appears. Sometimes not even then, as I've just had YouTube up and it will crash with shocking regularity.

I used to be able to have 20+ tabs open plus a game with no issue at all. I've done nothing different with my computer, no new hardware, no new software besides installing and uninstalling games. My upload and download speeds remain the same. Only Firefox is being a stinker.

What's happening?

Firefox crashes randomly during video playback. I've submitted over 10 crash reports. Here's the two latest crash report (which includes my device's hardware information): https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/81eb1750-1dd0-490d-9eb1-d3c2c0250224 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/6682a7f2-836a-4365-938e-c9ab20250224

I'm on Fedora 41 + gnome, but this issue persisted even in Windows 11, which caused BSOD therefore I made the switch to linux (At least in linux it doesn't crash the whole system, only firefox). If you need any additional information let me know. I can run journalctl/dmesg if required.

I've already tried things like restarting in safe mode (troubleshoot mode), refreshing firefox etc. Didn't work.

Thanks in advance!

Я так понял, что в файерфокс больше одной вкладки открывать нельзя? Если было открыто более десяти вкладок в браузере, то рано, или поздно они обязательно слетят, без возможности восстановления? Очень удобно... Если честно, то вы- пидарасы... Перед открытием браузера, после обновления, вы выкладываете вкладку об обновлении версии... Вы обязаны выкладывать ссылку на восстановление ранее открытых вкладок. Суки! Восстановите мои, ранее открытые вкладки!!

Firefox is CONSTANTLY crashing now and I'm about ready to switch to another browser unless someone can give me a reason to stay.

Moderator note: This question has been edited to clarify OS version (based on crash reports).

Endless crashes, going on for months (4-5) and no sign of any fixes. As far as I'm concerned, Firefox is totally broken and I'll have to switch away. It's unusable. A crash every ten minutes.

Occurs since end February, so probably since 148.0-1 Always in the same place in libgio-2.0.so.0

I will try to roll back to 147.0.4-1

I've gone through the various troubleshooting options over the last month or so and Firefox is still crashing constantly for me, even in Troubleshooting mode. The tabs crash when I'm using a Google Doc, YouTube, Discord, doesn't matter the site; I've submitted about 20 crash reports this morning alone and failed to submit several more:

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Since a few weeks I have been encountering an issue where tabs in Firefox would frequently crash. I do have various add-ons installed, however I haven't installed any new ones around the time the issue has been occurring. I've been unable to track down which add-on or if any add-on might be causing this.

Trying to search for this issue all I could come up with is that it might be an issue of a faulty CPU. I have an i9-13900KF which has been known to be part of the Intel generation with serious flaws. However I already installed a BIOS update and applied Intel's recommended settings to undervolt the CPU to prevent any issues. This was well before the Firefox tab crashing issue happened. So I'm not sure if it can really be the issue of a faulty CPU, but I've also had issues of other programs randomly crashing recently (like Discord or Steam).

The tab crash can occur on any website, for example Youtube, Duckduckgo, Protonmail, etc. The crash reason always is either "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ" or just "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION". The crash also most of the time (but not always) occurs when loading the page itself or a video / live stream on it. But not when browsing an already loaded page (for example this forum post page I'm writing right now).

Here are some of the crash reports I've submitted:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/60309ae8-8cad-43ac-8b9b-172b10250815 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/fecef0ab-d874-4cb5-990b-e49650250815

Rather rare "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION": https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/114b26fa-4e10-442c-bbd5-406630250812

Could someone help me narrow down this issue? Can it really be a faulty CPU and I need to trade mine in?
