Firefox crashes
Over night FireFox crashes. This started soon after I installed it. What details do you need? I tried to attach the submitted crash reports. But it would not attach the 87MB PNG file. I have not heard anything back on any of these. Why? When will I?

hi rvandaelejr, could you provide your latest few submitted crash reports? please enter about:crashes into the location bar, copy the latest few report ids from there starting with bp- & paste them here into a forum reply in text form. this will give us a better understanding what may be triggering those crashes. if you just submit crash reports, you most likely won't hear anything back on those - they get analysed in bulk and developers work on fixing common issues, but there will be no follow up on individual reports.
