I've been using firefox like this for years. One public window for work and a private one for personal. Since upgrading they get slower and slower until they crash. If I restart and only use one window, it works. But since this doesn't work for me I'll be using Chrome until you get this fixed.

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.
