Firefox 88.0.1 crashes every time it closes. It also causes problems with my Yahoo email, now I have to sign in every time I use Firefox 88.0.1

This problem started right after I use the troubleshooting to resolve a problem.

I use Revo Uninstaller Pro version 4 to complete remove Firefox. I shut down the computer and start it again after waiting for 5 minutes.

That did not work.

So when will this problem be fixed.

You may be in Private Browsing mode or told Firefox not to remember.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.


Macs: Make sure you install Firefox properly and that you do not run Firefox from within the DMG (Disk Images) file. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
