Firefox Dev Edition 44.02 constalntly crashes
Since upgrade from 43.02 I got crashes every few minutes!!! It's infuriating. Please let me downgrade. I can't find previous version anywhere!

hi JONeill, this seems to be a crash triggered by an issue between the new multiprocess architecture & accessibility features in firefox.
can you try to enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named accessibility.force_disabled. double-click it and change its value to 1 and restart firefox.

Thanks for help philipp. For now I just disabled multi-process in options and so far (6hrs) no crash. I hope firefox staff will solve this at their level :)
The 43.0a2 builds would be old as 43.0 has been on the Beta channel for a while now as it is currently at 43.0b6 build.

Maybe you meant different distribution but mine clearly is 44.0a2 (2015-11-25)

I am well aware how the versions works on the four main channels Release, Beta, Aurora (now developers edition) , and Nightly as I have been using test builds of Firefox for 12 1/2 years now.
The b# means it is a Beta, the a2 is a Aurora (aka developers edition) and a1 mean it is a build on Nightly channel.
The 44.0a2 has been the version on Aurora channel ever since October 29 (last 43.0a2 build was Oct 28) so if you have been updating everyday since there are checkins almost everyday then you have been having crashes for a while now.
