I am using Mac OS x 10.15. The FireFox Update on/about 21 April 2021 caused crash on quit. I have read the two pages of Widevine plugin issues, but I do not use FireFox for viewing videos. I have no Widevine or similar plugin. Every time since the 4/21 update, when I click "Quit FireFox" It goes into a slow routine, then a pop-up asks if I want to report the crash. I have shared the data requested when I get the crash pop-up. I have used FireFox since v.3.? when it came out way back when. Obviously I liked it better when I did not have delay and crash to quit the browser.

This went on for about two years and was fixed about a week ago (Thank you!!!), now broken again with 110.0.1.

Please, any reason not to roll back to the previous version and have a smooth shutdown again?

It is worse now, I won't even use Firefox until there is an update because now instead of pretending crash on close, it leaves 3 instances of itself anchored in my dock and superheats all the cores. Nope, not my browser anymore. I've been using it for years but it is currently unusable since the April 17 update.

Since I did not know the FF v. # when I posted most recently, I have determined it was 112, though I understand why it isn't auto-detected since I won't use FF any more and had to log in on Safari.
