Firefox does 'gah! your tab just crashed' on my amazon tabs at a rate of about 1 in every 4 times. Once it decides to do that on a particular tab, no amount of refresh or reopen, or restart-firefox fixes it.
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, and this has been happening consistently for the last 5+ years.
Every. single. goshdarn. effing. firefox. release.
(sorry just wanted to vent. I've tried every solution I could find on askubuntu, stackoverflow, what not. Nothing fixes it. I know I should be filing a bug report, and/or upgrading my OS, but I don't have the time, patience to deal with that. I need to finish school first.).

Might help updating to a modern version of Ubuntu with a modern kernel and modern (and less buggy) GPU drivers? Browsers are increasingly using GPU-acceleration these days. If your GPU drivers are buggy, that can probably cause a whole lot of “fun”.
- jmngomes 7y agoI've used Firefox since I cannot recall when, on Ubuntu 16 and 18, and Windows 7 and Windows 10. Although I've experienced very rare crashes, like I have with Chrome/Chromium, my experience is that Firefox is stable and does everything I need, including some basic web dev/debug.
