Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Azdrew — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 19:30:04 GMT

Since this version, Firefox crash randomly, but without an report error or something.. simply unexpected close like how you manually close the browser.. and when i open again, take over the websites i have been last time on. And this happened everytime once with v130.0.1.

Does anyone have met with this problem too?

Hello,

Same for me, i've randoms crashs with this version and the same behavior, excepted i've the crash reports on my side. I've tried to clean the cache just in case but that has changed nothing as i thought.

chancemedley — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 03:06:37 GMT

I'm having the exact same problem in addition to pages taking forever to load or only loading halfway. My Chrome works fine in comparison, so it's not my Internet. When I've had crashes in the past, I've usually been able to deduce what the issue was (e.g. memory-heavy tab among a bunch of other tabs, broken extension, etc.). Now I have no idea because it's so random.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Koffiato — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 20:23:11 GMT

Same here. Since I got updated to 130.0.1, browser has memory leaks. It's also very slow to open and even slower to load webpages. This version shouldn't be "Stable" release...

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Ervael — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 22:16:39 GMT

To give an update i've no longer the issue without have changed anything for 2 days. Maybe something server related?

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HalfDeathShadow — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 23:57:02 GMT

I have the same problem. During 2 days I had 4 or 5 crashes. Also Youtube works terrible. Almost every time video stops after 30-60s. Also wideo quality is swithing into 140p.

Edit: I am using Win11, ublock and ghostery but it doen't seem to be problem.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

RayneYoruka — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 22:00:21 GMT

Same, I get lots of tab crashes specially with video or any tab really, crashing the whole browser at times. It's been pretty bad

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Ervael — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 01:17:07 GMT

I've talked to fast i've had a crash again today but it's the first one since the 19th.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Doubledip — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 07:27:32 GMT

same problem and i watch alot of youtube

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

RayneYoruka — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 19:44:00 GMT

Same I watch a lot of youtube and twitch and it's almost impossible now, every time a tab crashes it also crashes discord, I've tried unloading tabs to keep it simple but no luck. I have this same issue in another machine, both runnning windows 10 up to date

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

mattspawn1975 — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 16:37:27 GMT

I'm having the same problem on my wife's computer. Can rarely make it through a YouTube vid. It has been going on for 2 days now (starting 9/28/24) despite the last browser update being on 9/19/24. I cannot yet confirm if the problem persists while browsing only. I have disabled add-ons with no improvement. I have submitted multiple crash reports successfully on that computer.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

mattspawn1975 — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 17:24:05 GMT

....and now a system restart on my computer has instantiated the crashing on mine. Now my wife doesn't have to crash alone. 🙄 Hope you're getting this Mozilla...

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

RayneYoruka — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 17:29:12 GMT

it's extremely strange, this is what was happening to me which it led to me disabling the XMP on one of my computers to make sure it wasn't my memory ram but nope. it's just firefox. extremely strange really

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

mattspawn1975 — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 20:16:57 GMT

I start thinking similarly at first. I usually reign myself in though because time has more-often-than not proven it to be an update issue. All these companies forcing rapid updates and making the community the beta testers has made this more true than ever these days.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

kalenrivers — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 04:35:01 GMT

yep me too

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Atksuperlight — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 15:56:19 GMT

I am getting random crashing of Firefox now. Wasn't like this before. I did just update the Bios for my motherboard X570 Chrosshair VIII Hero bios 4902 before I started experiencing this. Is it just a coincidence? I wonder. Is every one else with AMD cpus having firefox crashing or is intel users experiencing this too?

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Ervael — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 21:47:52 GMT

I'm on Intel on my side and my motherboard is a MSI. My first guess actually is an issue with 130.0.1 because that has started with it, before it was fine.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Atksuperlight — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 22:51:09 GMT

I was experiencing Firefox taking up almost all of my RAM usage(32GB of RAM) if I leave it open watching a twitch stream. Doesn't seem to happen anymore so instead it crashes maybe? Just a theory.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

rmacfarl — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 02:53:12 GMT

Also getting random crashes and also experiencing recurring issues with Facebook pages not loading correctly and needing to be reloaded, sometimes followed by a Firefox crash. Both issues only started happening in the past few days since Firefox was updated. I refreshed my Firefox install in the last hour but immediately experienced the same FB issue.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Aikanaro — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 05:45:27 GMT

I've also started to experience random crashes. At the begining it was just tabs that/firefox crashing. Now I even experience random BSOD.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Ilias — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 08:24:22 GMT

same problem here, regarding this version..crashes frequently in websites, no good performance with Outlook email...it seems to be the worst version of Firefox....please update it and fix it ASAP...newer version necessary.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

TabbyCat — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 11:01:19 GMT

Yes!For me it started about 28 hours ago. I've spent most of the day checking settings, router, Windows 11 updates, Mozilla notes and nothing has helped. I have one pinned tab and just 3 open tabs and everything is very slow, YouTube is buffering constantly and stops after about 18 seconds and takes minutes to get going again. It also has switched quality to auto at 144p instead of the usual 1080 HD. As far as I recall, I installed the latest v130.0.1 about 18 hours before the trouble started. I think the only remedy will be another update.

Really grim.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Alvinerius — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 14:39:03 GMT

I'm also experiencing random crashes since 3 days ago, specially when watching videos.

Firefox version 130.0.1 (64-bit) running on Windows 10.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

LisOtter — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 17:18:42 GMT

Also been experiencing this over past 36hrs, constantly. Ran loads of scans, updates, cleanups and disabled add-ons, nothing works. Any page with video is a no go, sending crash reports constantly. Is Mozilla doing anything about this...Have they acknowledged this? Are they addressing the issue?

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

pepewu — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 21:04:08 GMT

The browser in this version is almost unusable for me - tabs crashes randomly every now and then, mostly on youtube, but also on any other page. I am using Firefox since 1.0 and it was never this bad.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

pjc87guy — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 01:02:29 GMT

The app bar image of firefox on mine is now neverending flow even when nothing is loading, so something is happening in the background that shouldn't be happening. Perhaps that is what everybody is experiencing and why some are crashing. I have 48GB of ram and it is using 20% of that or almost 10gbs which would slow down or stop many systems. Mozilla, are you listening? This is th 130.1 version.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

RayneYoruka — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 03:23:47 GMT

I've experienced this before the crashes, high ram usage or just part of the browser crashed having to fully close it for the browser to start working again

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

chris0991 — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 05:57:46 GMT

I’ve been experiencing similar random crashes with Firefox since version 130.0.1, and it’s frustrating! It just closes unexpectedly without any error message. I hope there’s a fix soon. On a different note, I recently discovered Top Follow Apk Unlimited Coins, which have been great for boosting engagement on social media. It’s interesting how tech issues can pop up while exploring new apps!

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

SPH23 — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 03:47:18 GMT

Same issue. Ever since this upgrade to the current version, Firebox crashes 4 to 8 times per day. Firefox has been stable for 2 or more years and now it crashes all the time, running videos is so slow You tube or others. Lots of my windows won't open. About ready to switch to another browser.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

SPH23 — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 03:50:32 GMT

I am so tired of 5 to 10 crashes in 2 hours. Very tired. For the past 3 years never had a crash and now, its driving me up the wall.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Aikanaro — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 06:12:18 GMT

Firefox updated to 131.0. Somehow random crashes of FF or tabs are yet to appear but still got a BSOD out of nowhere.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Nick_Kolowski — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 06:41:18 GMT

Getting tons of crashes since 131.0. And the error reporting fails too. I did see someone saying Avast could be causing this, and I do in fact use Avast. I'm not sure I'm comfortable just disabling Avast and raw-dogging the internet.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Aikanaro — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 06:47:46 GMT

Get rid of avast. It's crap. Get bitdefender or kaspersky. Currently best on the market, atleast for the regular consumer.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

rmacfarl — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 09:16:05 GMT

Still happening on my laptop several times a day, using Facebook, Mastodon, YouTube etc. Browser is becoming unusable. Have the developers even acknowledged the issue?

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Fuzzy62 — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 11:15:39 GMT

Same here. Since 130.01, Firefox randomly closes without warning. Version 131 hasn't made any difference. I don't use avast or watch much utube. I have used Firefox for years and have never experienced anything like this before.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

djszilard — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 22:44:18 GMT

Same here.....Firefox 131 at least gives me the tab that "firefox has crashed". It always happens when I have multiple tabs open. I suspected that Youtube implemented something fishy that crashes beacause Adblock.....but it's not the case (Youtube only crashes firefox more frequently), it can crash only with Facebook and Messenger open.
I observed that the crashes happen when a video is loaded or is trying to load (can be Messenger or Youtube).
The crashes are random....I can have 10 video tabs open and nothing happens, the other time it crashes after 5 minutes of watching a single video in a tab.

BTW.....It also crashed when I clicked a form page to complete it.

I did a malware scan using multiple thrustworty sites, nothing is fishy. The crases started happening from one firefox update to another.

I use firefox since I have internet (I think since 2007), it's my main browser (I also have other browsers installed, but firefox is what I use daily).
Sadly, it became pretty annoying that I can't use it anymore for my daily activities without crashing.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Azdrew — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 01:02:17 GMT

I didn't get any crash anymore since i updated to v131.0

It worked for me.. right after the update, I did this without browsing anything, directly.. just to be sure:

Settings > Privacy & Security > scroll down to Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.

Don't forget to select Everything (All Time)

If you want to totally clear the whole browser, you can select every box. If you want not to lose sign ins and stuff, select only Temporary cached files & pages.

Then restart the browser (make sure it doesn't running in background on Task Manager any Mozilla services when you re-open Firefox).

Preferable to uninstall all extensions you have first of all and just then do the following.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Fuzzy62 — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 16:11:17 GMT

Installing an older version of Firefox and keeping settings was a bit of a challenge, but I have managed to go back to v129.02 which seems fine. I'll stay with this version until I am confident that the bug(s) have been ironed out.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Hakuto — Sun, 06 Oct 2024 05:06:44 GMT

Same problem Here, been using firefox for years now, and just recently it started crashing randomly.

I have lots of tabs saved, but only used 2 youtube streams and everythjing was fine for a couple hours. Then I opened 1 novel reading page (Scribblehub) and it crashed in some 10 minutes of opening Scribblehub. I also have avast so i dunno if its avast being problematic or something with oages with the cloudfare check that scribblehub uses.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Aikanaro — Sun, 06 Oct 2024 11:57:10 GMT

New thing happened to me. I stopped having random crashes since the 131.0 update however I've found what is causing 100% crash for a single tab for me right now. It's when I go to google translate click the speaker to hear the pronunciation of a word I'm translating.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HalfDeathShadow — Sun, 06 Oct 2024 14:06:23 GMT

Unfortunately for me 131.0 still crashes randomly (Aorus 17H - Intel Core i7-13700H; RTX 4080; 32GB DDR5 4800 MT/s)

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

rmacfarl — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 00:09:49 GMT

I've been upgraded to v 131.0 but I'm still getting random crashes multiple times a day. Mostly when changing screens on YouTube and Facebook (also still getting regular errors when reloading FB pages).

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

mattspawn1975 — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 02:02:00 GMT

Unfortunately, a lot of us are experiencing the same exact problem. 😔 I have not seen any solutions yet, nor have I seen Mozilla comment on it. They may have, but not that I've seen.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Ervael — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 02:08:01 GMT

On my side i've not had any crash since the 131.0. So i guess it's good or i've been lucky despite it's still here XD

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

RayneYoruka — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 19:01:18 GMT

+2 since 131 I haven't had any crashes so far in any of my rigs, thank god it stopped (at least for me)

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Aikanaro — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 22:05:28 GMT

Unfortunately I still experience random BSODs and sometimes crashesh. Atleast not on YT anymore. Sometimes on google. Few minutes ago I even got BSOD browsing this very page...

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Nick_Kolowski — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 05:46:48 GMT

In my case, it got significantly worse with 131. I think there were some crashes and instability with 130, but it's become a multiple times a day thing with 131.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Fuzzy62 — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 11:10:30 GMT

Another update, to 131.02. Firefox still randomly quitting. Back to 129.02 again 😞

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HalfDeathShadow — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 11:50:32 GMT

I confirm.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HeyEph — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 14:20:20 GMT

How did you downgrade to 129 without messing up your profile?

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HeyEph — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 14:21:27 GMT

How are you downgrading without creating a new profile that it says is necessary?

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Fuzzy62 — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 17:48:45 GMT

Downgrading firefox is a pain, but it can be done. Uninstall, reboot, install older version, make new profile by pointing at old folder. I found some info on how to do it but it did involve a bit of trial and error. Be much easier if it was fixed!

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HeyEph — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 17:50:33 GMT

Thanks.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Ervael — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 23:19:01 GMT

If you have more than Firefox that crashes and a BSOD you have probably a different and higher issue.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Aikanaro — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 21:57:37 GMT

I would agree if the bsod would happen while other ocassions than using firefox. But it doesn't. I can play pc games that heavy stress on both cpu and gpu and bsod doesn't happen. I also does not have cursed 13th and 14th gen intel cpus. BSOD happen only during using firefox.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Nick_Kolowski — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 23:47:01 GMT

Has anyone seen if the beta branch still has this issue? The sheer number of crashes I'm getting is insane. And since downgrading is a pain, maybe just moving to Beta could help.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HeyEph — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 13:18:59 GMT

Yes, I tried them and saw no difference. What I *do* think may be making a difference for ME is to NOT have a Facebook tab open. When I close that tab, I seem to crash less often.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Aikanaro — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 13:48:26 GMT

I suspect that there might be some memory leak but a fun fact is that my business laptop(W10) didn't had a single crash.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HeyEph — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 17:21:04 GMT

I downgraded to 129.0.2 and no crashes.

Has anyone tried 131.0.3 yet?

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Fuzzy62 — Thu, 17 Oct 2024 09:23:54 GMT

I've been using 131.03 for a day or so and it hasn't crashed once up to now. The release notes to 131.03 state that a few bugs have been fixed, so maybe it's ok now.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HeyEph — Thu, 17 Oct 2024 12:08:25 GMT

Thanks! Please keep us updated! It's such a pain to downgrade, so I want to make sure the current release is stable before upgrading to it.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

SPH23 — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 02:18:41 GMT

Hello, I am running Firefox131.03 and finally no crashes. But to get here I did the following:

1. Disconnected every cable that connects to the modem or wireless router. Turned off power for 1 minute for both units. Rebooted computer.

2. Windows 11, cleared cache. Rebooted computer.

3. Opened computer and went to various websites. Not one crash.

4. However, if you go to a youtube video, it runs 1 or 2 seconds and you wait a while before it runs a few more seconds.

5. I have two websites that won't load. So not all problems resolved.

So far I have invested 6 hours testing and reinstalling firefox.

I am really disappointed in Firefox performance or something on computer.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Nick_Kolowski — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 06:21:58 GMT

Yeah, I've been running it since it came out too, and no crashes since. I think they got whatever bug it was. or at least made it better.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

rmacfarl — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 09:14:35 GMT

I'm no longer getting 3 or 4 browser crashes a day on 131.03, but I'm still getting an error message regularly when reloading Facebook or loading a new FB page:

"Your request couldn't be processed
There was a problem with this request. We're working on getting it fixed as soon as we can.
Reload Page"

I see some people have reported issues using Avast but I use Norton.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

SPH23 — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 00:25:27 GMT

An update on my message posted on the 17th. Although Firefox has not crashed it still has problems with two websites and won't display and there are some issues with YouTube videos and Facebook.

So I checked all my Windows 11 settings and then the cache and deleted the one website that it won't display and the website and I deleted just that one item. Rebooted the desktop. I ran Nortons 360 for a full check of the "C" drive. Rebooted the desktop computer again.

I AM SHOCKED. No Firefox crashes and all sites are running correctly. Note, I have not gone to a YouTube video...scared that may screw up something. I AM JUST SO DELIGHTED THAT things are back to normal.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HeyEph — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 00:57:26 GMT

Did you change any Windows settings? I assume the cache you cleared was the FF cache?

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

SPH23 — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 01:31:41 GMT

Thanks for asking, no I did not change any of the Windows settings. Your correct, I went into Firefox cache to settings and then Manage Cookies and Site Data. Selected the one website that would not display and deleted that one item. Did not delete all items in the list...I had done that before and it's painful because you have to log into all sites. Anyway after deleting that one website that would not display, closed out of that box and then out settings. Closed Firefox and rebooted the computer and then opened Firefox. All of a sudden everything was working, no problem with webpages. Hope that helps, good luck.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Aikanaro — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 04:07:50 GMT

Update 131.02 had 0 crashes for me. Yesterday on 131.03 I had few consecutive tab crashes that ended with BSOD. All while browsing single site.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

rmacfarl — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 04:12:43 GMT

Now on v. 132.0 and no longer seeing random crashes but Facebook is impossibly slow; I'm being forced to consider switching my browser back to Chrome.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

HeyEph2 — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 13:08:44 GMT

I'm still getting crashes on 132.0. Ugh.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

SPH23 — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 02:06:12 GMT

Mine is not crashing, only freezing. If you move the cursor or hit a key it stops freezing. What a pain in the neck.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Marko2 — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 04:22:54 GMT

Well here we are at Christmas & version 133.0.3, at least 6 months of sending in crash reports, and still getting random crashes. Unlike others, I've not had any performance problems while browsing regardless of the site, and in fact is usually crashes while I'm away from the computer. However, it's still happening to my Win10 system and I spoke too soon... it crashed while I was reading the other posts!

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

Aikanaro — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 08:15:51 GMT

Hi Marko,

Try reinstalling windows. I don't know how is the situation on my old PC which my brother is currently using, and I 've experienced **bleep** load of crashes on it when it all started. But I have new PC for almost 2 months and not a single crash occured for me.

Re: Firefox 130.0.1 unexpected crash

fan4orr — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 19:02:31 GMT

Basically, ever since version 134, (maybe even before), Firefox has become the biggest memory hog of any browser for me. (I am running Kubuntu 22.04.4 on an older system.). At first You Tube will work OK. But the longer I have it up, the more memory gets allocated and the slower it allows me to type a comment. Eventually, each keystroke takes several seconds until finally I can no longer type at all. On version 136 and 137, my eTrade links don't always load, and sometime it just freezes and fails to refresh. This DOES NOT HAPPEN ON CHROME. I hate having Google all up in my business, but if Firefox doesn't do a radical improvement in memory and processor efficiency and guard against You Tube's runaway resource allocation, I will have to bow down to the behemoth and use Chrome. Does anyone else have a better, more private alternative that works as well on most sites? Chrome is very disengenuous when they talk about privacy. They try to keep OTHER sites from gleaning your information, all they while they are raping you from the backdoor.

For popular easy to use solution is Brave. For little more complex solution is TOR browser with VPN connection as you don't want someone doing shady stuff that would surface through your pc/ip... Nothing else left mate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JNg4Ox2Hvc
