I am running Firefox 151.0.4 on a Win 11 (25H2) AMD Ryzen 5, 32 GB ram. Every time I close Firefox, it generates a crash report. That takes several minutes during which I can't start a new Firefox window. The crash report says the report was submitted successfully but when I look in about:crashes the reports shows they need to be submitted.
I ran in troubleshoot mode and disabled all plugins and did not see any extensions listed. I restarted and it still crashes. Firefox seems to run fine. But the crashes when it closes are annoying and disruptive.
here are the first few lines of a recent crash report: Firefox 147.0.1 Crash Report [@ shutdownhang | mozilla::SpinEventLoopUntil | nsThreadPool::ShutdownWithTimeout ]

All the tabs, in both my profiles are constantly crashing. I cannot keep at a task for more than a few minutes without needing to restart the tab. Is this a setting problem? I've cleared the cache, and reset Firefox, to no avail. Thank you for any relevant advice and/or assistance.

I have asked several times, and received no responses that helped. I am continuously hammered with GAH! I've tried everything I've found both from Mozilla, and Google AI, but have had no solutions. What am I missing? If I have to uninstall, then reinstall Firefox, I'm going back to one of the better versions, like 98, or 99, or earlier, which I've got on old HDD's that still function. Thanks to anybody who can offer a real solution.

Hello everyone,
yesterday I got quite a scare. While Firefox was open, a new tab briefly appeared showing the page about:processes, and immediately afterwards the browser closed itself on its own.
At the same time, Chrome was open in the background. When I clicked on Chrome, a prompt appeared asking whether I wanted to allow changes to be made to the system (the typical UAC prompt). However, I’m not entirely sure if this was actually triggered by Chrome or possibly by another application.
I clicked “No” on the UAC prompt and immediately unplugged my keyboard. I recently started using an ASUS ROG Falcata, which is connected via USB.
After that, I ran a virus scan with Windows Defender — it didn’t find anything. I also ran AdwCleaner, which also came up clean.
At first, I suspected the ASUS ROG Falcata (I’ve only been using it for a few days), since it’s almost like a small computer itself and can execute macros, patterns, etc. I was worried about a possible firmware bug or something worse. At the moment, I’m honestly hesitant to plug it back in and am using an old Dell keyboard instead.
Importantly, I wasn’t pressing any keys at the time of the incident.
Now I’m quite unsure what could have caused this.
Is there any way to trace this in Firefox (e.g., via logs)?
And is there any (event) log where I could check what triggered the UAC prompt?
One more thing I noticed: I shut down the PC afterward and turned it back on later that evening. Everything booted normally and is still running fine today. However, Firefox updated itself yesterday from version 148.2 to 149. Maybe that was somehow related (though there’s no indication in the Firefox update history that anything failed or similar).

Hello, I’ve been increasingly frustrated over the past few weeks with your browser, which I prefer over all the others, because it keeps crashing constantly. I’ve tried several small fixes suggested by IT professionals, such as clearing the cache, running an antivirus scan, and deleting my browsing history, but the issue persists with no improvement. At this point, my last option seems to be uninstalling and reinstalling the application, but I’m concerned about losing my bookmarks. Could you please advise me on how to resolve this issue? M.

The dialogue box says "The application is exiting and cannot service this request"
Nonetheless Firefox seem to be functioning as I would expect apart from the irritating appearance of the dialogue box that I have described.
I attached a scan of the dialogue box - how do I prevent it appearing and/or is it signifying anything important,

Hello,
I would like to report a potential bug in Mozilla Firefox related to recent updates.
After downloading a PDF file and opening it directly in the browser, the tab crashes. Following this crash, it becomes impossible to open any files (regardless of file type) within the browser — every attempt results in another tab crash. The crash report cannot be reviewed, as the tab fails immediately and can only be closed.
As a temporary workaround, changing the default PDF handler to an external application prevents the issue. However, this is not a viable solution for us, since some of our internal systems require PDFs to open directly in the browser after download.
We have verified that this issue does NOT occur in version 148.0.2 — everything works correctly there. However, after updating to version 149.0, the problem reappears consistently. Firefox also automatically updates after synchronization, making it difficult to remain on a stable version.
According to the release notes, there were changes in PDF handling in recent updates, so this may be related to a technical regression.
Could you please investigate this issue or advise on a proper fix or workaround?
Best regards, Daniel Mazur VanityStyle IT Specialist
