Are you running the Gnome or KDE desktop manager (or something else)? I'm running KDE. My own configuration is 4-core true Intel processor 8 Gb RAM Fedora-25 up to date KDE-5.8.6 Firefox-52.0.2-2.fc25 Firefox has problems with the system and with KDE's Plasma desktop. If I open too many tabs in Firefox, more than about 20, Firefox becomes extremely slow. Frequently when I quit Firefox plasma-workspace crashes. Also it appears that the X-Server has been crashing, though it's difficult to tell exactly what has happened because without the X-Server the system is not accessible, so it could be any kind of system crash; it appears from the lights and log that some system activity continues, so I suspect the X-Server. > Did you try creating a new user, logging into X as that user, and > starting firefox 52 as that pristine user?

Right now I'm too lazy to put in the time (days) to compare stability of jonrysh (me) against phred (fictitious user). > The link you gave has another link where the moderator asks for crash > IDs that were submitted to mozilla for this problem.

The link advises users of the bulletin board to also post their crashes there. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
