Suddenly, in the past couple of days, most pages crash when using Firefox. So I just checked for any updates - which there was - one just under 7MB. Installed that... and now I can only run Firefox in safe mode :) I'll try a full download of the latest version and disable add-ons and see what happens...

Add-ons are disabled in the latest version and can't be enabled. Try version 56.

The circuit breaker tripped before, naturally meaning the PC rebooted. Firefox is fine now (using the latest version). That was a bit of an odd issue, never experienced anything quite like that before.

Installed it on lots of systems from ME to win 10 and several versions of Linux with no problem. What is it with your system that is killing it.

I just noticed in the current version that one now at least gets the option to view a site with an invalid/expired certificate once again... so that's at least some progress.

Neccesary when talking to the LOM in an outdated server.

Millions have problems. Install 56 or earlier and set it to never update.

It's now working as intended - I still think it's definitely not as good as it used to be in terms of user options.

It ended up with a beta version of both on the system and ended up not working well on a lot of sights and not able to see remote content. Had to delete some files to reset the security cert's and do a reinstall to fix it. As to why it had a beta on it after I had installer the stable version for her I never worked out.
