My windows app which spawns a process to run FF with a given URL gets a FF crash after five minutes or so with v42 but worked great in 41.02.

After Firefox is started as a separate process from within my dotNet app, I change the parent of the FF window using the WinAPI so that it is a child of a form in my app. This has worked great for over a year running FF 41.02 but when v42 was installed problems started occurring after about 5 minutes of running FF. Each FF process is started with a dedicated copy of a barebones profile created by the FF profile manager in v41.02. It seems like some asynchronous service or activity in FF is jumping in after about 5 minutes and causing the crash. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated regarding changes to v42 that might explain this new problem.

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it and select Submit.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
