Firefox 42 seems very unstable

Post by Debskinner »

Since upgrading (?) to FF42, I have been experiencing many crashes - far more than in previous versions, although, to be fair, I also upgraded to Win 10 at the same time.

With a new PC, I installed a virgin version of FF & then added my various addons - the one that is getting to do the most work is session manager! Every time it crashes I click the send report to Mozilla button.

I haven't tried running FF in safe mode, but I am running it on another couple of PCs (2 are XP Pro & 1 is Win 7 pro) & they have all been crashing too - possibly not as much, but they aren't used as much.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you confirmed that you have updated all of the installed extensions to the latest available version?
Try running in Safe Mode to rule out issues with the installed extensions.
