Firefox crashes
Since today Firefox crashes regularly. Yesterday version 46.0 was installed. With every webpage I visit, Firefox crashes. Is it possible to go back to an older version?

hi thanks - this looks like an issue with hitman pro alert - can you try if firefox is able to start up when you disable it/uninstall it for once?

Hi Phillpp,
It does indeed seem that this is the cause. I'll contact the developers of Hitman Pro.
Thanks for your help.
