For whatever reason every time 'Firefox' browser goes down my email shuts down also. This did not happen prior to trashcan Win!!(recently installed). It's a pain in the ass having to reactivate 'Firefox' then contact my email server to reactivate my email service. Any assist is appreciated. TangoYankee in advance.

Since around version 96 it seemed some new core changes made to how ff operates. any one care to share what the "big changes" were around that version rollout tldr?

since ver 96 ff became secondary browser. Using to test/isolate issues w/chromium (sigh). Now since ver 132 profile manager opens browser for correct profile everything looks good then 20seconds later ff crashes eorror: Exiting due to channel error

Inspiringly i see this forum is being used still so thought i would see if anyone has ideas what changes btwn ver 96/101 and 132 which may cause this new issue, maybe i can backout the changes and get back to using ff as a secondary backup again ....

IDK about anyone else but i LOOOOONG for the ole days when ff was a daily driver option on linux

I'm in Troubleshoot mode, no extensions running, and tabs are crashing again. Here are crash report #s for today:

Is it coincidence that this is happening on my Windows 10 machine since MS support for Win10 officially stopped? Gosh, I just don't know! grar grar grar

Using 140.2.1esr (64-bit) on Win, laptop has plenty of disk space free. When writing a long-ish message, I want to stop and think, so I do Ctrl S to Save... Sometimes works fine. Sometimes Thunderbird hangs and does not save, so I lose everything I wrote, very frustrating. Problem happened off and on during many weeks. I cannot replicate the problem on demand. Shut down- restart did not help. Any help will be much appreciated thanks.

My computer glitched today. Before that I could bring up Firefox and all pages would restore.

Now Firefox comes up and shows one page like a new page. One tab and no other pages appear I had several open when the incident occurred.

Now I get the one page. From the Task Manager window I see the one page and "crashhelper" followed by several Firefox icons (all appearing to be using memory) but none of them are displaying any pages on my display.

I made a screen shot and enclosed below

My question is about lack of functionality (Topic) but it is not listed in the selections above!

I selected Accessibility because I cannot access any of the tasks shown below the "crashhelper" because none of these pages are displyed

I must have changed something because T'Bird no longer starts. I was trying to copy TB file from Win 10 to a Win 11 PC. That failed because some files could not be copied. But now TB is not starting up. I checked the Start folder and it is in there.

Suggestions please.

At the moment all websites accessed through Firefox are all crashing after a few minutes and often a lot less. It is happenig constantly. It started before I updated Firefox today, but has continued after the update. Anyone know what's happening? I'm still on Windows 10 - will that be an issue?
