Firefox crashes
Firefox unexpectedly quit while I was using it. I was not on any new sites or asking it to do anything particularly taxing. This is not the first time Firefox has unexpectedly quit on me, far from it, but it absolutely refuses to start up again. It did give me a new pop-up window, one I have never seen before, explaining what Safe Mode entails & asking if I want to continue while using it, & the first couple of times I opted for Quit instead because I didn't like the looks of Safe Mode & don't know how to disable it, but eventually I gave in & tried it just to see if I got a different result. The result was not different, Firefox quits immediately when clicked on & Safe Mode doesn't even appear to have the chance to engage because the pop-up window comes up frequently now. I checked for Software Updates for my MacBook Pro & there were some, but this did not solve the Firefox issue. In the past restarting my computer has worked, but this issue has come up before & the only difference is that it seems to be getting worse, or more involved. I want to solve this once & for all.
