Firefox crashes completely at least once a week for me, and tabs crash at least once a day. I had a brand new tab crash the other day, just seconds after I had opened it and visited a text-only site (no JS, no images). I'm running Firefox 92 on up to date Debian on a machine with 64GB of memory; it's not running out of RAM.
I still use it because it's better than Chrome, and I wouldn't touch Brave with a 10 foot pole.
- trog 5y agoWhat add-ons do you have installed? I've never had a problem like this in Firefox, in the 10+ years it has been my primary browser (on Windows though). Have you done a memory test too? Something definitely sounds broken here.
- kaba0 5y agoThat doesn’t sound normal. Perhaps your profile is in some sort of inconsistent state after years of usage? Maybe give it a try with a new empty profile as well.
- Vindicis 5y agoI've ran into weird issues like that before. After so many updates, I'm guessing something gets broken somewhere, somehow. Back up your extension settings and bookmarks, and do a fresh install of it. Bit of a nuisance but usually fixes any weird behaviour in my experience.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoRecently switched to chrome as a many tab used, it’s less stable than Firefox for me.
- BikeHelmet 5y agoYou may want to try Opera. I found it more stable than Chrome, at least after spending an hour in the Settings and about:flags disabling all the extra features that I didn't need.

- gcp 5y agoPaste a few links from about:crashes here. If you click on them, you might find the associated bug (if it exists). Firefox should literally never crash. If it does, that's a serious bug (but especially on Windows, not necessarily in Firefox itself).
