Already search but the only thing i find is password editors and not simply backup/restore of my saved passwords and nothing more.

"overall stability picture for 57.0b looking very good - browser process crash rate is still the lowest we ever recorded on any channel (& a third of those browser crashes are happening during shutdown)"

e10s for everyone and legacy addon abandonement paying off?

Naturally. If less people use the browser for far less you'll get less crashes.

Less People don't matter when it's a ratio. They're still browsing the internet, aren't they? Thanks for confirming that legacy addons are a reason for crashes.

More like finally fixing the causes, which were causing the crashes... :lildevil:
e10s helped here of course, as now what crash are just tabs, not full browser.

What's more, these legacy addons, which were causing these cashes were in most cases obsolete plugins, not legacy extensions written in XUL & XBL & XPCOM.

Tired of constant Firefox UI changes? XUL extensions are not working anymore? Try SeaMonkey, Waterfox Classic, Pale Moon.

avada confirmed nothing of the sort as you know damn well.

If you wish to continue to post in these forums, here's a top tip - don't try to get bloody clever with people here. ;)

Btw I forgot to mention, you are on full-time duty in Firefox Support in 3 weeks time. I mean it, I don't want you prancing about like a fairy here, with your 'bon mots', and then disappearing off the face of the earth when it matters. I need boots on the ground in there.
