Extension related more than likely, a bad Profile? could; be. were you on Nightly or stable Firefox ?

27,724 · January 3, 2016

Stable, I went back to the 32 bit. I was using the 64 Bit. I did not care for Chrome. Thanks.

6,202 · January 3, 2016

No crashes here with the 64-bit build. Try checking your extensions, try a new Firefox profile and try enabling/disabling hardware acceleration. Also make sure you're using the latest Flash and graphics drivers.

Also look in about:crashes for crash IDs, they'll point to what's causing the issue.

Since Firefox went to release 43.0.4 all is well. I have never seen so many release patches.

they have released a ..0.4 or a .1.1 many times before whether its an ESR or not

Firefox 3.6 had 28 point releases, since the move to rapid release there usually isn't enough time to make the new patches before a whole new version has been released.

It's unfortunate they had to re-enable SHA-1 signing for TLS certs in this release, turns out there's a lot of crappy middleware/antivirus/ad blockers that do MITM attacks on TLS connections, and a whole bunch of them issue faked SHA-1 signed certs to browsers. Disable SHA-1 and those certs start getting rejected, stopping the user from ever loading TLS sites, and instead of the user blaming the actual cause of their problem, they'll just blame Firefox (Which is probably why MS is holding out for another year to disable SHA-1)

I know but 3,6 was way before they started the Aurora and Beta programs. This latest release seems to be working just fine.

Mozilla to remove WebRT from Firefox

January 11, 2016

a Feature i never used, so good Riddance to it

January 13, 2016

Certainly looks like Mozilla's marketing dep pressured them into slimming it down so they can use the "Chrome is a memory hog"-mantra as a strategy! (jk)

It doesn't really look that abnormal to me --> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/

Personally, I always prefer fixes. I don't think Firefox has ever crashed on me since stopped installing Flash three months ago.

Like I said, since 43.0.4 was released It no longer crashes. The default look of Firefox looks just like Chrome.. It seems Mozilla cannot be original..now. They used to be........

Now if we could get MS to remove the apps from Win 10 everyone would be happy.

Will do sir!

i am now using Firefox 44.0 without any problems.

4,678 · January 23, 2016

Looks like Firefox 44 allows const and let just like IE, Edge, and Chrome. I can finally avoid var entirely in scripts.

Netflix working for anyone? I can't get it to work on a clean profile.

Do I need to install silverlight again?
