I've literally never had ff crash on me. are u running really old hardware?
2 years at best , still able to run new games on highest settings.
twice in past 2 weeks. Completely random.
If you were interested extensions are:
Libredirect
Improve youtube (for youtube & videos)
LiveTL
Auto Tab discard (added after finding firefox devouring memory for some reason to the point youtube was lagging)
BetterTTV
Panorama tab groups
600% Sound Volume
Currnetly 52 tabs open, which I did both on Chrome and Opera as well.
Again this is still not to the point that I feel like I can't deal with it. The crashes were completely random and not to the point of becoming a trend.
do u have those extensions in chrome as well? meybe its an extension
An extension shouldn't be able to crash the browser, though.
The crash details would be useful to know. The "windows reliability history" menu (how its called) of the control panel shows some of the useful things
Similar. In Opera I used
ublock (forgot to include in firefox list)
Libredirect
Improve youtube
LiveTL
And a different sound volume extension
Prior to that in Chrome, I used
ublock
improve youtube
livetl
and yet ANOTHER volume extension (for some reason volume extensions get flagged a lot)
I've got a five year old low end gaming laptop and I've never had issues. tbf I have 5 tabs usually open, 10 at most. s
I will say as an aside from our discussion, just to stress
I'm not trying to say Firefox is doing bad at performance (I know going through this explaining my setup it may sound that way)
What i'm trying to say is that in response to the original comment
To basically say "Nono, performance is important! Please don't stop"
And yes, privacy is also important, Firefox can have both, and I really want to encourage that. Not one or the other.
