Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

[Azdrew]

Since this version, Firefox crash randomly, but without an report error or something.. simply unexpected close like how you manually close the browser.. and when i open again, take over the websites i have been last time on. And this happened everytime once with v130.0.1.

Does anyone have met with this problem too?

[Ervael]

Hello,

Same for me, i've randoms crashs with this version and the same behavior, excepted i've the crash reports on my side. I've tried to clean the cache just in case but that has changed nothing as i thought.

[chancemedley]

I'm having the exact same problem in addition to pages taking forever to load or only loading halfway. My Chrome works fine in comparison, so it's not my Internet. When I've had crashes in the past, I've usually been able to deduce what the issue was (e.g. memory-heavy tab among a bunch of other tabs, broken extension, etc.). Now I have no idea because it's so random.

[Koffiato]

Same here. Since I got updated to 130.0.1, browser has memory leaks. It's also very slow to open and even slower to load webpages. This version shouldn't be "Stable" release...

[Ervael]

To give an update i've no longer the issue without have changed anything for 2 days. Maybe something server related?

[HalfDeathShadow]

I have the same problem. During 2 days I had 4 or 5 crashes. Also Youtube works terrible. Almost every time video stops after 30-60s. Also wideo quality is swithing into 140p.

Edit: I am using Win11, ublock and ghostery but it doen't seem to be problem.

[SPH23]

Same issue.  Ever since this upgrade to the current version, Firebox crashes 4 to 8 times per day.  Firefox has been stable for 2 or more years and now it crashes all the time, running videos is so slow You tube or others.  Lots of my windows won't open.  About ready to switch to another browser.

[RayneYoruka]

Same, I get lots of tab crashes specially with video or any tab really, crashing the whole browser at times. It's been pretty bad

[Ervael]

I've talked to fast i've had a crash again today but it's the first one since the 19th.

[Doubledip]

same problem and i watch alot of youtube

[RayneYoruka]

Same I watch a lot of youtube and twitch and it's almost impossible now, every time a tab crashes it also crashes discord, I've tried unloading tabs to keep it simple but no luck. I have this same issue in another machine, both runnning windows 10 up to date

[mattspawn1975]

I'm having the same problem on my wife's computer. Can rarely make it through a YouTube vid. It has been going on for 2 days now (starting 9/28/24) despite the last browser update being on 9/19/24. I cannot yet confirm if the problem persists while browsing only. I have disabled add-ons with no improvement. I have submitted multiple crash reports successfully on that computer.

[mattspawn1975]

....and now a system restart on my computer has instantiated the crashing on mine. Now my wife doesn't have to crash alone. 🙄 Hope you're getting this Mozilla...

[RayneYoruka]

it's extremely strange, this is what was happening to me which it led to me disabling the XMP on one of my computers to make sure it wasn't my memory ram but nope. it's just firefox. extremely strange really

[mattspawn1975]

I start thinking similarly at first. I usually reign myself in though because time has more-often-than not proven it to be an update issue. All these companies forcing rapid updates and making the community the beta testers has made this more true than ever these days.

[kalenrivers]

yep me too

[Atksuperlight]

I am getting random crashing of Firefox now. Wasn't like this before. I did just update the Bios for my motherboard X570 Chrosshair VIII Hero bios 4902 before I started experiencing this. Is it just a coincidence? I wonder. Is every one else with AMD cpus having firefox crashing or is intel users experiencing this too?

[Ervael]

I'm on Intel on my side and my motherboard is a MSI. My first guess actually is an issue with 130.0.1 because that has started with it, before it was fine.

[Atksuperlight]

I was experiencing Firefox taking up almost all of my RAM usage(32GB of RAM) if I leave it open watching a twitch stream. Doesn't seem to happen anymore so instead it crashes maybe? Just a theory.

[rmacfarl]

Also getting random crashes and also experiencing recurring issues with Facebook pages not loading correctly and needing to be reloaded, sometimes followed by a Firefox crash. Both issues only started happening in the past few days since Firefox was updated. I refreshed my Firefox install in the last hour but immediately experienced the same FB issue.

[rmacfarl]

Still happening on my laptop several times a day, using Facebook, Mastodon, YouTube etc. Browser is becoming unusable. Have the developers even acknowledged the issue?

[Aikanaro]

I've also started to experience random crashes. At the begining it was just tabs that/firefox crashing. Now I even experience random BSOD.

[Ilias]

same problem here, regarding this version..crashes frequently in websites, no good performance with Outlook email...it seems to be the worst version of Firefox....please update it and fix it ASAP...newer version necessary.

[TabbyCat]

Yes!For me it started about 28 hours ago. I've spent most of the day checking settings, router, Windows 11 updates, Mozilla notes and nothing has helped. I have one pinned tab and just 3 open tabs and everything is very slow, YouTube is buffering constantly and stops after about 18 seconds and takes minutes to get going again. It also has switched quality to auto at 144p instead of the usual 1080 HD. As far as I recall, I installed the latest v130.0.1 about 18 hours before the trouble started. I think the only remedy will be another update.

Really grim.

[Alvinerius]

I'm also experiencing random crashes since 3 days ago, specially when watching videos.

Firefox version 130.0.1 (64-bit) running on Windows 10.

[LisOtter]

Also been experiencing this over past 36hrs, constantly. Ran loads of scans, updates, cleanups and disabled add-ons, nothing works. Any page with video is a no go, sending crash reports constantly. Is Mozilla doing anything about this...Have they acknowledged this? Are they addressing the issue?

[pepewu]

The browser in this version is almost unusable for me - tabs crashes randomly every now and then, mostly on youtube, but also on any other page. I am using Firefox since 1.0 and it was never this bad.

[pjc87guy]

The app bar image of firefox on mine is now neverending flow even when nothing is loading, so something is happening in the background that shouldn't be happening. Perhaps that is what everybody is experiencing and why some are crashing. I have 48GB of ram and it is using 20% of that or almost 10gbs which would slow down or stop many systems. Mozilla, are you listening? This is th 130.1 version.

[RayneYoruka]

I've experienced this before the crashes, high ram usage or just part of the browser crashed having to fully close it for the browser to start working again

[chris0991]

I’ve been experiencing similar random crashes with Firefox since version 130.0.1, and it’s frustrating! It just closes unexpectedly without any error message. I hope there’s a fix soon. On a different note, I recently discovered Top Follow Apk Unlimited Coins, which have been great for boosting engagement on social media. It’s interesting how tech issues can pop up while exploring new apps!

[SPH23]

I am so tired of 5 to 10 crashes in 2 hours.  Very tired.  For the past 3 years never had a crash and now, its driving me up the wall.

[Aikanaro]

Firefox updated to 131.0. Somehow random crashes of FF or tabs are yet to appear but still got a BSOD out of nowhere.

[Nick_Kolowski]

Getting tons of crashes since 131.0. And the error reporting fails too. I did see someone saying Avast could be causing this, and I do in fact use Avast. I'm not sure I'm comfortable just disabling Avast and raw-dogging the internet.

[Aikanaro]

Get rid of avast. It's crap. Get bitdefender or kaspersky. Currently best on the market, atleast for the regular consumer.

[Fuzzy62]

Same here.  Since 130.01, Firefox randomly closes without warning.  Version 131 hasn't made any difference.  I don't use avast or watch much utube.  I have used Firefox for years and have never experienced anything like this before.

[djszilard]

Same here.....Firefox 131 at least gives me the tab that "firefox has crashed". It always happens when I have multiple tabs open. I suspected that Youtube implemented something fishy that crashes beacause Adblock.....but it's not the case (Youtube only crashes firefox more frequently), it can crash only with Facebook and Messenger open.
I observed that the crashes happen when a video is loaded or is trying to load (can be Messenger or Youtube).
The crashes are random....I can have 10 video tabs open and nothing happens, the other time it crashes after 5 minutes of watching a single video in a tab.

BTW.....It also crashed when I clicked a form page to complete it.

I did a malware scan using multiple thrustworty sites, nothing is fishy. The crases started happening from one firefox update to another.

I use firefox since I have internet (I think since 2007), it's my main browser (I also have other browsers installed, but firefox is what I use daily).
Sadly, it became pretty annoying that I can't use it anymore for my daily activities without crashing.

[Azdrew]

I didn't get any crash anymore since i updated to v131.0

It worked for me.. right after the update, I did this without browsing anything, directly.. just to be sure:

Settings > Privacy & Security > scroll down to Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.

Don't forget to select Everything (All Time)

If you want to totally clear the whole browser, you can select every box. If you want not to lose sign ins and stuff, select only Temporary cached files & pages.

Then restart the browser (make sure it doesn't running in background on Task Manager any Mozilla services when you re-open Firefox).

Preferable to uninstall all extensions you have first of all and just then do the following.

[Fuzzy62]

Installing an older version of Firefox and keeping settings was a bit of a challenge, but I have managed to go back to v129.02 which seems fine.  I'll stay with this version until I am confident that the bug(s) have been ironed out.

[HeyEph]

How did you downgrade to 129 without messing up your profile?

[Hakuto]

Same problem Here, been using firefox for years now, and just recently it started crashing randomly.

I have lots of tabs saved, but only used 2 youtube streams and everythjing was fine for a couple hours. Then I opened 1 novel reading page (Scribblehub) and it crashed in some 10 minutes of opening Scribblehub. I also have avast so i dunno if its avast being problematic or something with oages with the cloudfare check that scribblehub uses.
