With Firefox 116.0.2, new tabs are crashing almost every day!
In the past few weeks, I have been dealing with an "epidemic" of new tabs crashing. I use the New Tab extension so that each tab that I open with start with Google. Those tabs often crash. If I select a link on a fire service daily news blast, the tab will start to load the connection, then crash and ask me to report the conditions of the crash. When i select "Retrieve the lost site," it will work about 10% of the time. The rest of the time, I wind up with a blank, white tab. That's it!
