I have Waterfox on my Win10 box (as I test _all_ free ad-free web browsers). It does not crash - but I don't update it so let me check the version. G2.2.5 (64-bit) based on Gecko 78.13.0 Waterfox is up to date Hmmmmmmnnmmmmmm.... "up to date?" In Waterfox Settings > General > Waterfox Updates, it says (_) Automatically install updates (recommended) (o) Check for updates but let you choose to install them In Waterfox Settings > General > Updates > Show History, it says Waterfox G3.2.6 (20210915125841)Details Installed on: January 7, 2022, 2:01:37 PM Status: Update server not found (check your internet connection) Waterfox G3.2.5 (20210811084759)Details Installed on: September 2, 2021, 12:42:56 AM Status: The Update was successfully installed From which I infer a. Waterfox isn't updated all that frequently perhaps? b. It tried to contact the mothership on install but I install offline c. I must have manually updated it on September 2nd for some reason I looked around for the typical "telemetry" settings but didn't see any. Although I never know what to set when the web browser asks Certificates When a server requests your personal certificate (?) Select one automatically (?) Ask you every time (?) Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity I don't even know what it is asking me. Do you?
