Windows 10, Firefox 61.0.2 (x64 en-US), Firefox crashes after just a few keystrokes, sometimes as few as 7, sometimes as many as 15 or so, but it always crashes. I have tried deleting cookies, resetting Firefox, neither changed the behavior.

HI, please include the -bp

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

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent Report IDs that start with bp- and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.

Note: If a recent Report ID does not start with bp- click on it to submit the report.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

Data Mask by AOL was the culprit. Removed it from the laptop, restarted, ran malwarebytes (nothing found), now Firefox is working as expected. Thank you for the prompt assistance with this matter.
