I'm not a computer whiz - all I speak is English! I have Firefox 121.0. When loading my bank website, I get over and over, "Gah. Your tab just crashed." Tried looking for answers through Firefox Help, but the answers are all gobbledigook to me. Isn't there a fix for us ordinary folks who haven't made a career in computer science?

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 list of Submitted (and Unsubmitted, if any) Crash Reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent Submitted 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.)

Firefox hasn't crashed, just the tab.

A tab crash (Gah. Your tab just crashed) can be hard to troubleshoot as you may not get the crash reporter.

Anything that looks relevant in the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J)?
