Still crashing like crazy on my system. It started in 114 or 115. I've sent at least 50 crash reports, with detailed descriptions of what I had been doing in the first few. Not sure what else to do. After using Firefox exclusively since around 2006, I had to switch to another browser (which I am surprisingly happy with), because getting 10-20 crashes per day really interferes with the work. I've heard Linux support was down to like one guy who is doing half of the work in his free time out of goodness of his heart. Even if it's not true, sure feels like it.

No crashes to report on Fedora here and I am using firefox everyday on different computers. I would first try it out again with a new profile. Have you tried the flatpak instead of the distro version to iron out a packaging issue?

Absolutely rock solid for me. Have you tried running it with a freshly created profile?

Can you share some links to the crashes from about:crashes? You can use jrmuizel@mozilla.com if you want to share them privately.

  Thank you, an actually useful reply. I will drop you a note tomorrow — it's late here.

Firefox never crashes for me. I use it on Windows, Mac and Linux. I'm using Developer Edition on aurora update channel, so I'm already on 119.0b1.

Could be hardware related. Did you check your memory and/or overclocking settings?

Install rr (https://rr-project.org/ https://rr-project.org/) and capture a crash with it. Then you can replay the crash, find out that it's actually crashing in your closed-source graphics driver, which will motivate you to switch to an open source driver and fix your issue. Also, while you're at it, update your linux kernel and wayland. They've both had bugs that could manifest as random firefox crashes in the last several months.

Last week I had Firefox crashes every few minutes on kernel 6.5.x on Fedora on AMD apu. Had to jump to 6.6rc to make the machine stable again.
