Mine was crashing also - kept on saying "close Firefox" so I checked on Task Manager - it showed numerous open Firefox apps. I shut those down and restarted but same problem. Then I downloaded and installed the most recent version, #152. So far the problem seems resolved.

HOWEVER, I saw a notice that reads: And we’re not done: coming this fall, a more modern design built around you. Watch the preview, then visit the roadmap to see what we're building next.

What that usually means is that in the name of progress they will screw up my display, change my settings and crash the browser. One big problem they have had for the past dozen years or so is that they went to tabs at the top of the screen instead of previous location below your menu, search and bookmark bars. They consider that location "old school" and will not allow users to modify the display using the "about:support" controls. Instead, and for many past "updates," I have searched their support forums and copied code to place tabs where I want them. I suspect that I will need to do that again. BTW, the main reason I still use Firefox are their extensions. The one I use most and for posting on FR is their "bbCodeWebex" where I can use that app's coding for frequently used HTML tags especially for images and URL tags.

That does not sound good at all. I know I’m loathe to throw things away (ask my wife). But that bit of news might just do it.
