I face an issue with the browser crashing when in google meeting (meet.google.com). The problem persist in a new profile created with 'firefox.exe -P' and also in the troubleshooting mode. The crash is triggered when I am in the google meeting (with allowed microphone) and I manipulate with windows of the browser - across multiple monitors (switching tabs, moving tabs between windows, closing firefox windows, opening them, "dropping" the tabs onto another applications - chrome, spotify - which opens a new firefox window). Sometime the crash happened once I closed the google meeting tab. Unfortunately it happens "randomly" and I was not able to come with a specific series of steps to reproduce the crash. But it happens always when I am in the meeting and play with the windows for a while.

The crash: Firefox freezes for a few seconds (~3s) and then closes itself - all windows. %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\pending contains a new .dmp file, but it has 0 bytes and no .extra file is created, hence it cannot be submitted via about:crashes. The crash reporter is not opened when firefox crashes. The attached troubleshooting information are from the new clear profile where the crash happens as well.

I am running Fedora 42 KDE spin ("plasma"). The "Discover Software Center" app offers Thunderbird as both a regular and a flatpak install, and I somewhat arbitrarily chose flatpak.

I am dealing with several legacy email accounts that have 20 years of messages, so I need to control where the profile was created, so immediately after installing I ran with -P to create a profile and specified a path name of /lore/jeff/thunderbird. /lore is the mountpoint of /dev/sda2 and it is in my /etc/fstab. /lore/jeff previously existed because that's where I put my Dropbox folder.

Every time I shut down TB and restart it later it always fails because lock and .parentlock are never deleted. Until now, I just dealt with it by deleting the files in bash, but today I wanted to make sure that TB always starts offline and decided that user.js would be the absolute safest way to guarantee that, so I pulled up profiles.ini to get a list of all profile paths to make sure that I put a copy of user.js in each and every one whether it's in use or not. What I discovered is that the profile I created does NOT have a Path of /lore/jeff/thunderbird but instead /run/user/1000/doc/e1a4ab74/thunderbird and not only that but at the very bottom of the file are these three lines [InstallBD520B11F73A6B64] Default=/run/user/1000/doc/e1a4ab74/thunderbird Locked=1

The interesting thing is that when I put user.js into the /run/user... path and then looked at /lore/jeff/thunderbird to check on lock and .parentlock, I see that there is magically a copy of user.js there. I'm not exactly sure what is going on because when I do `ls -ldi` on the two files, their inode numbers are vastly different. I don't know enough about how flatpak operates internally, but my gut tells me it has something to do with it, and my question that I'm finally getting around to asking is if I edit the profiles.ini file to use /lore/jeff/thunderbird in an attempt to get TB to correctly clean up the lock files, is that going to cause a problem because of whatever flatpak is doing? And should I complain to flatpak about it?

Thanks for reading :-)

my firefox keep crashing when i join google meet and i need to do multitask so i open another firefox windows(private or not) it always crash few second after, i have tried the trouble shoot mode its still crashing, even the new windows from SSO request do trigger my firefox to crash. when the browser crash it does offer me to restore my session

Hi, The versions of Firefox since Feb 2026 have been extremely memory hungry on Windows 10, even though I have the option to restore tabs on demand set to TRUE in the config.

The memory hungriness has got so bad now that even on my 16GB machine, about once a week I find that my computer has suddenly run out of memory without warning and my entire screen goes black (not just within the Firefox window, the entire screen). When the computer gets into that state I am unable to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to get back to Task Manager, and the only way out is to hard-reset my computer.

This means that whenever I want to do anything else remotely memory hungry, such as running my research code, or a game, or a Zoom meeting, I have to kill Firefox first. But I sometimes even end up with black screen when trying to use Word or Excel alongside Firefox.

Essentially, Firefox is becoming unusable on my desktop, and its bookmark feature is borderline unusable on mobile now since the update a month ago made it impossible to change which folder I save my new mobile bookmarks in.

So if I have two more black screen clashes I think I will give up using Firefox entirely after being loyal to it for about 15 years. This is extremely disappointing.

I sometimes find that after I have filled in the email address and subject of the email and sometimes start writing the email, it goes back to the original page and I have to start again.
