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?

We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

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

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent Report IDs that start with bp- and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.

Note: If a recent Report ID does not start with bp- click on it to submit the report.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

Hi Phillpp,

It does indeed seem that this is the cause. I'll contact the developers of Hitman Pro.

Thanks for your help.
