Hello,
my Firefox windows randomly crash - is it because of Xorg, Xfce or Firefox? Does somebody else have noticed this behaviour?
When I don't do anything at my laptop (and it seems to happen only if I don't do anything at it), after a while when I want to do sth. in the browser again, it doesn't work properly any more. It seems, as if the JavaScript engine would have crashed for the tab or window: As soon as I enter sth., the GUI is corrupted, i.e. layers are shown at the wrong place in an order I cannot do any editing any more etc. If I try to close the tab, the GUI stays unchanged or just the layers of the closed tab are somehow changed, but it seems as if the tab were still active. Re-opening the tab from history results in a blank window (though the correct is shown in the address bar). As I said, it seems to be because of the JavaScript engine, but I'm not sure, yet.
Another issue I have is about atlassian: When I open a link, usually a login page is shown. Instead, FF crashes completely.
Any idea?
Kind regards
Peter
Hi Peter,

Have you tried creating a second Firefox profile that doesn't have all of your customisations and seeing if this problem still occurs? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firef... It might help isolate the cause.
Firefox is my main browser and I've had no problems since upgrading to 65 on 2019-02-01.
--safe-mode, --ProfileManager, new user, don't change anything on my machine it isn't a new problem, it started a long time ago
Hi,
any meaningful error messages printed when run from the terminal?
Fwiw I'm not getting any errors in Firefox 65.0.1 on Cinnamon.

No stdout or stderr messages at all, Maybe the OP has got more luck by running firefox via command line or at least taking a look at ~/.xsession-errors*.
I can confirm this behaviour. On my machine Firefox and it's forks aren't stable (and FWIW as well as Claws Mail). I wasn't able to do useful troubleshooting, but I don't care, since almost anything else runs stable on my machine, so related to the webbrowser you could test Falkon, Chrome and other.
