Thought only Ubuntu's linux firefox 136.0 was 'unstable' on my Gateway E-475M laptop - crashes, restores session then freezes only to log me out, then completely locking up requiring holding down power button and rebooting...

NOW, even firefox 136.0 on WIN7 is crashing, then restores session only to go to the 'blue screen of death' requiring holding down the power button and rebooting...

EVIDENTLY, the problem is NOT with Ubuntu or WIN7, but either: firefox (linux or win version); or, the Gateway E-475M laptop (2.0GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM, 8Gb swapfile, Harddrive at 61% usage, linux/win on separate booting partitions, LAN + usb & pci wifi's, etc.) - both OS's USED to work fine, but as upgrades to firefox have come along, they have steadily gotten more and more unstable...

Sometime, I'm only making a bookmark, and it starts this circus act... does it on differing websites, etc. Firefox is the only thing loaded - using two windows on two different monitors.

...at a loss as to what to do - firefox is supposed to be THE lightest-weight browser out there, and was for awhile...

- - - - - the only extension used on both systems is NoScript - could THAT be causing the disturbance in the force?!?

Hello, - Computer Nec Versa One P/N NNAN1700202 (32-bit) - XUbuntu 18.04.2LTS (i386), no upgrade possible to 19 LTS

- Message asking for an update of Firefox (expired root certificate, extensions disconnection) - Proposed download completed (Firefox 135.0)

- Firefox/ Help/ "About Firefox": 113.0.2 (32 bits), no update proposal - Launch the . exe file from previous download In the "About Firefox" window, version 135.0 appears well during installation When the computer is restarted, this panel has returned to version 113

The computer works normally and perfectly meets my needs (emails and internet searches), so it is out of the question to change it (it would be scandalous from an environmental point of view)

What should I do? Thank you for giving me the precise instructions on how to proceed. Sincerely, FC
