Firefox 50.0.2 update froze system

Post by tanstaafl »

I let Firefox automatically update from 50.0.1 to 50.0.2 under Windows 10 and it trashed the task bar and froze the system. The only thing that still worked was ctrl/alt/del where I logged out and then logged in. That worked around the problem, everything is fine again. Has anybody else run into this problem? I'm curious because I think this is the first time an update has frozen my system.

No problem with the Firefox 50.0.2 update on Win7.

Even did the update while the ESR 38 version was running, without 50.0.2 freezing.
