Firefox crashing a lot

English Applications
1

I’m surprised that I’m not finding other posts about this already. After updating to Plasma 6.1, Fire fox has been crashing multiple times. Sometimes it’s the app, but other times it’s just one tab. The crashes come at all different times and during different activities. Sometimes just opening another app while Firefox is running will do it.

I thought maybe the 6.1.1 bug fix would fix it but no luck with that. Even disabling all of the extensions or opening Firefox in trouble-shooting mode hasn’t helped. However, trouble-shooting mode does cause jerky video playback during streaming videos.

Anyone have any ideas?

Here are the repos. The other file is 10 times the size allowed. How should I proceed?

https://paste.opensuse.org/

When copying data here put it between ``.

Run this too: sudo zypper refresh

Please delete this post.

I do this everyday.

Is this not returning an error?

11

Is what returning an error?

12

Is this not returning an error? sudo zypper refresh

Next time that Firefox crash run this: LANG=C; TMPFILE=$(mktemp /tmp/firefox-XXXX) && sudo journalctl -b --no-hostname | tee ${TMPFILE}; echo "Result: ${TMPFILE}"

13

No, never does. I will post that file if it contains anything after the next crash.

14

I have the current version of tumbleweed and there are no problems with firefox. However, I use the browser from the mozilla repository.

15

Please give me the address of this repo.

16

There’s no need to change the repository. The issue is not this.
By the way, do you have any extensions installed in Firefox?

17

Just to make sure…

Have you tried a completely new and clean (standard) profile?

  • about:profiles in Firefox
  • firefox -p from console

This approach should always be considered at an early stage when troubleshooting Mozilla Firefox or Thunderbird.

@pilotgi I have experienced this a lot too. The error log from Firefox mentions explicit sync failing. I run the latest 555 nvidia drivers from this week (“the hard way”). I have been unable to copy/paste from the Firefox error window.

I also had this problem in Firefox 127 until I disabled hardware acceleration:

Settings → Performance → Uncheck “Use recommended performance settings,” then uncheck “Use hardware acceleration when available”

I don’t think Firefox has crashed since then.

I started Firefox from a new profile and when it crashed I got this:
