Firefox crashing

Tab Crashes on Youtube/Facebook and sometimes on News channels (BBC/SKY etc.) The latter crashes the whole App.
Seeking advice as to what info I should provide next time for analysis.

I guess running Firefox via a Terminal might provide some information here as you should be able to see and capture any error messages which cause a crash ā€¦ not sure about tab crashes though?

Iā€™d try starting Firefox without loading the current profile (easiest is probably to create a test User Account on your system and switch to that, then run Firefox from there).

That sounds tryable. I suspect a Hardware problem as it runs fine on my other PC (HP g800 mini).
Lets see what happens. Currently installed/switched to Brave, so far no problem.

Aside from simply starting firefox in the terminal;

firefox

There is also starting in safe mode (which disables all themes and extensions);

firefox --safe-mode

And/or the profile manager to create/manage/use different profiles;

firefox --ProfileManager

I,ve actually given up and switched to Brave. Thanks for the input folks.

Solution unset because it was a non-solution. :man_shrugging:
