Firefox 74.0 keeps crashing and freezing on Windows 10 update 1909. I have uninstalled all extensions, didn't help. I uninstalled Firefox (deleted all files in Program Files, deleted the Mozills folder in Appdata). I tried minimizing ram usage by limiting the number of Firefox processes running from 5 to 2). Didn't help. Firefox also didn't save or send any crash reports, the latest reports were from 17.03.2020.

Okay, I just installed an older version of Firefox, 73.0 and as soon as the browser launched, it froze and crashed. So I think it is safe to say it is caused by the latest Windows update 1909.

Thanks for your reply.

After taking a look at the crash report, I see it's got something to do with the Estonian E-Recidency software. I saw many posts about the same issue on Bugzilla. I don't have those plug-ins installed but apparently it still somehow affects the browser. I wonder if uninstalling the software would help...I'll try it right away as I really don't need the software. I'll report back.

I don't know if it's too early to say (been using FF for 3 hours) but removing the e-Recidency software (onepin-opensc-pkcs11.dll) seems to have solved the problem. Symantec is my Norton Antivirus, but I've got it running and there's no crashes.

Thanks for your help, I'll mark this thread as solved.
