I get slowed response with script error messages and lockup after many attempts I t give me Firefox has crashed and needs to shutdown. Any other browser that I use everything is normal. The two websites it happens on are Breitbart.com and Breitbart/big government. I have used Firefox for years and love it and added features. Thank you, Eldon

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
