Firefox crashes getting more frequent - maybe associated with Symantec PGP?
In January Firefox crashed 6 times. On 1/22 I did a full reinstall of Firefox. Did not crash again until 2/25 but then crashed 3 times in 4 days. In March has crashed 5 times in first 12 days. Don't know if crash report is simply blocked from occurring while my computer is locked, but most of the crash reports seem to be at whatever time I arrive in the morning and do the first unlock of the day. But not every day! This computer has full drive encryption with Symantec PGP. Maybe when locked, Firefox has problems? But why not every time it is locked? In the evenings I do the Windows locking but do not log off. The open pages vary. Latest crash report is bp-7dee8df1-e410-4fb7-95ed-3bf252140312 I have disabled all of my add-ins.
