Good afternoon, Apologies if this topic has come up before but I've found that the Firefox 45.1.0 stability to be somewhat lacking. For example, I can't use it for Twitter because it crashes. It also crashes when I log into gmail. This happens every time I try these URL's. Any suggestions on improving the stability? Thanks! Jeff

I do run privacy badger on Twitter which blocks a lot of resources that want to track me, maybe some of those resources are what firefox is having trouble with? I also don't have flash installed, nore Java plugin (not even iced-tea)

Oops - I should have mentioned that I'm running C6 (I do need to upgrade at some point).

And I just had to downgrade firefox from 45, because I was *trying* to do my annual required privacy and security refresher, and it opened, it has, I think, flash audio, and firefox crashed, fired it up again, restored, and started and it crashed *again*, and a third time, and that was it: I downgraded, didn't have to (also couldn't) downgrade flash-plugin, but had no trouble at all completing the training. Note that I *could* play streaming media and youtube with 45, but... and, no, you've *got* to be joking to think I'm going to convince upper management to ban flash.... mark

I've tried, trust me ;-( > </rant>After years of FF changing things in not good ways (the current way the back button behaves was the last straw), I was finally able to switch to chrome on C-6 using the directions found @ http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/ (thanks to Richard Lloyd for figuring this out) It works so well I have not looked back. Is Chrome perfect, not at all BUT it is way more stable then FireFox has been for years now. Just my $.02 Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org Spamtrap address me123 at tdiehl.org
