I have no idea where my 1st try to ask got landed. So again: Since more than a week I face constantly crashes/crash forms with FF 65.0.1 when trying to Login to my banks. I run win 10 pro 64 bit new installed. FF ran smoth for the first couple of week. It runs w/o crashes in safe mode. "Edge" runs w/o crashes. I get crashes with many links I get from a Google search and when I try to run Videos (i,e, from Spiegel online). Meanwhile I got thru nearly all hints and tips including uninstalling all addons. I even did a clean reinstall twice. So I am now Pretty clueless and would appreciate some help. Thanks in Advance Helmut

thanks helmut, unfortunately this kind of issue is a problem for users of windows N editions after the update to windows 10 1809 & installing the media feature pack.

this would be a workaround to avoid the tab crashes: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named media.wmf.vp9.enabled. double-click it and change its value to false, then restart firefox once.

hi, could you copy and paste a handful of crash report ids in text form - transcribing them from the screenshot would be a bit bothersome... thanks
