Repeated crashes

For no reason I can identify, Firefox has started repeatedly crashing ever since I upgraded to Monterey on my fairly new Mac. It happens two or three times a day. I always send the report. This morning when I started up, I noticed the Firefox browser had been updated to 94.0.1, and I hoped it would have fixed itself, but an hour later it crashed again.

Hi Angela,

Try opening firefox in Safe mode,

  • Find the Firefox icon or click Start and type Firefox.
  • Hold down the Shift key on the keyboard and then click the Firefox icon.
  • In the Firefox Safe Mode window, click the Start in Safe Mode option.

I called for more help.

Thank you. I am waiting patiently and trying to use Safari and Chrome in the meantime, but they are not my go-to browsers.

This is a problem with accessibility (a11y). Are you running any accessibility service on your computer ?

No I am not running an accessibility service on my computer (don't laugh, but I don't even know what that is. I certainly haven't added one). But I do use Safari and Chrome, and they've never crashed. Would have to have to give up Firefox. Thank you for your help.

Accessibility Activated true Prevent Accessibility 0

That means that accessibility is detected and activated in Firefox, so you must have some accessibility related applications running on your Mac.

How do I find out what that is? The only change I've made in any of the settings is to increase the size of the typeface. Would that cause constant crashes?

Yes I did. There is no little blue icon like that showing on my tab bar. Or anywhere else for that matter. I don't have Firefox accessibility services. Now what?
