Tabs always crash on clicking a specific button
I am an academic librarian. Ever since about version 88 of FF, I've had an ongoing problem with crashes. Here's how to see what I get: go to library.gs.edu Click on the tab near the top for "Library Catalog." In the search box, type Luke-Acts (I use that for testing as it was the area of my Ph.D.) Press enter You will see a bunch of books listed. Click on a title When that book shows up on the screen, click the button above the book, "Cite." This always causes my tab to crash. I did this today in troubleshooting mode and sent the report in but I don't know what it said. This has worked correctly for about six years, all the time I have worked for this organization. However, starting a few versions ago, this began happening. Possibly related, next to "Cite" is "Share." When I click on that, it does not work. I have already checked for plugins and such but can't find any ad blockers besides what is built into v. 89 and higher. I can't do my job with this situation. I've been a FF user for decades but I'm having to go to Chrome, which I really hate, in order to get work done for students. IPlease help me. don't need or use the newest features. Perhaps I sahould simply find an executable for, say, v. 80. Thanks.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.
