Since a week or two my Firefox tabs are crashing more and more often. At work on MacBook and at home on PC.

Deleting the cache and cookies and even starting in Safe Mode are not helping - in fact while writing this very message had 5 crashes meanwhile!

Don't know if you can access the crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/4cd570db-d90d-4fcb-aee6-0a1660230818

I'm such a noob....

Used to a running system for years never had any issues - but now I panicked as it was not even running with safe mode - then I even deleted it and installed the ESR version, just to run into the same issue again I did not do the most basic thing every admin would do first: Restart the computer.. OMG This solved it finally (at least it seems so.... I feel so dumb X) Thanks zeroknight for taking the time to answer my problem.

That crash report is from version 100, are you sure you are using the latest supported 116 version?

Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.
