Firefox 43 update keeps crashing my mac desktop + script errors, anyone else?
1] keep getting script errors trying to shop on Amazon [compatibility with my shopping extensions?] I can stop the script, but once somehow it opened multiple Amazon windows with script error messages and whole computer froze badly. Had to shut down.' 2] Pages like weather Channel, Yahoo Mail were at first blank except the background, now they load but slower than before. 3] with several or more tabs open in private windows, I start playing YouTube videos. They seem to play fine for a good while, Pausing and searching the videos, and then Firefox disappears and crashes. Thanks for any help [ I just downloaded a bunch more extensions to try later, but the vast majority of all my extensions are disabled ]

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Do you have nvidia's network access manager or forceware network manager software installed? Disable / remove it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/connectivity-crashing-firefox-43-update
Thanks for the reply, Fred. I will have to try the safe mode another time. And investigate the other thing whatever that is. [If it's something I had to install, I wouldn't have it. ]
I guess it's somewhat common for some extensions not to work after an update? Could the 2 shopping extensions that no longer work be causing the script errors on Amazon? And the crashes happened when I was watching a video on Facebook Or YouTube
