Personal experiences are funny :) I've been using Firefox on Windows, Linux and Mac for as long as I can remember (first version was maybe Firefox 3 I think? The version that introduced being able to resume downloads I think), and it's the Mac version has always been the most unstable and worst performing one for me, while Linux one being the most stable and performant. I can't even remember the last time the Linux version crashed, while I had the Mac version crash last week. Windows one seems stable, but not as performant as the Linux version.

Says you! My FF on Linux crashes all the bloody time! It says it needs to RESTART in order to apply updates. Hmph! The audacity. But in all seriousness, I can't recall the last time FF crashed on me. My OS hard locks more often than FF crashes.

  The restart message is due to the interaction of Linux package updaters and Firefox's process spawning. You can avoid it by using Mozilla's tar.gz, the Snap or Flatpack builds.

    With snap you get a notification to close FF to update instead.
