more options

Hello since i've upgraded to firefox91, i've got a tab crash each time i go to ebay.fr. The message is : "Gah. Your tab just crashed."

I've submitted the bug report : ee05d71c-a653-4c91-9094-42ea10210821 I've been able to produce the problem only with ebay.fr and ebay.com. The problem does also occur in troubleshooting mode. clearing the cache does not help.

System is linux fedora up to date

Suggestions and help are welcome to solve the problem...

I'm not able to replicate the issue on the distro version nor my separate copy of the same version that I run from a folder. see screenshot

What happens in safe mode? Firefox safe mode: Click the menu button, click Help and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled…. Firefox will start up with the Firefox Safe Mode dialog.

Try downloading a separate copy of Firefox and run it from the folder(do not sign into you Firefox account) to see what happens.

Hello,

thank you for helping

I've already tried safe mode (called troubleshooting mode in my menu). It soes not improve the problem.

As you suggested I downloaded a fresh firefox 91.0.1 from mozilla.org. Running this one instead of fedora 34 installed one improves the problem. As this install uses the same preference directory, I suppose we can say the issue is likely caused by a 3rd party library not being up to date in fedora...

So I think next step is to report the issue to fedora.

Best regards

That's good to hear. Well Done.

Which is why you should also run a copy from a folder and you could have compared the distro with the separate copy. Just an idea...

@ jonzn4SUSE

I agree with you, and I did follow your suggestion. May be my message was not clear enough : "As you suggested I downloaded a fresh firefox 91.0.1 from mozilla.org. Running this one instead of fedora 34 installed one improves the problem. As this install uses the same preference directory, I suppose we can say the issue is likely caused by a 3rd party library not being up to date in fedora..."

I was trying to explain it worked with a copy installed in a separate directory.

Once again I thank all the participants of the thread for having spent some time in helping with this problem.
