But I don’t really know what the Firefox team does with crash reports and in making Firefox almost crash proof.
I have been using it at work on Windows and for the last several years it always crashes on exit. I have religiously submitted every crash report. I even visit the “about:crashes” page to see if there are any unsubmitted ones and submit them. Occasionally I’ll click on the bugzilla link for a crash, only to see hardly any action or updates on those for months (or longer).
Granted that I have a small bunch of extensions (all WebExtensions), but this crash-on-exit happens due to many different causes, as seen in the crash reports. I’m too loathe to troubleshoot with disabling all extensions and then trying it one by one. Why should an extension even cause a crash, especially when its a WebExtension (unlike the older XUL extensions that had a deeper integration into the browser)? It seems like there are fundamental issues within Firefox that make it crash prone.
I can make Firefox not crash if I have a single window with a few tabs. That use case is anyway served by Edge and Chrome. The main reasons I use Firefox, apart from some ideological ones, are that it’s always been much better at handling multiple windows and tons of tabs and its extensibility (Manifest V2 FTW).
I would sincerely appreciate Firefox not crashing as often for me.
