Hey everyone, it looks like Firefox is having some problems lately. I'm running three different systems—Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 preview—and the app crashes on all of them. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

No, it's not an addon. Do you know what other options are available?

It's also happening to me. The app usually stops working after I close Firefox, which is strange and shows an error message screen. Have you tried launching it in safe mode? Does it still crash there? If not, it could be a theme or plugin issue. Consider disabling hardware acceleration—it's helped in past Firefox versions.

I'll only use ad-block as far as I know, but I'll verify once I'm back home. Most crashes happen while scrolling down a page, not when closing or switching.

I experienced this problem where closing a tab results in empty space remaining, either briefly after closing or until another tab is selected. I also noticed other issues when opening links, which I suspect are linked to changes in the advanced settings.
