Hello. Since the last update 96.0.3 on windows 10 64 bit, firefox constantly crashes seemingly at random. Well not so random as it seems to be linked to opening a new tab. Another constant is after crashing and opening firefox again it says it could not restore my previous session.

In the address box, 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 recent 7 - 10 Submitted crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

Please, Do not post a screenshot ! !

Hello Fred, unfortunately these crashes are not reported in that page. Now that I think about it another thing that seems to characterize these crashes is the lack of a notification that Firefox has crashed. It just closes instantly without stuttering and when I open the browser again it shows the message explaining that it could not restore my session.
