• Flash player, obviously

prior to media pack, gifs/videos would not play on twitter, imgur etc. but now do work fine (and not cause crashes)

Hello,

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/Unsubmitted 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.)

Thank you for your help!

More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.

Best regards, David-Walczysko Volunteer supporter

Mozilla is in contact with Microsoft on this issue.

hi, this should be a workaround to avoid the tab crashes: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named media.wmf.vp9.enabled. double-click it and change its value to false, then restart firefox once.

Hi Philipp,

That worked perfectly, thanks! When you say it's a workaround, do you mean it shouldn't be used as a permanent solution?

Either way, thanks for the help! Nick

according to the info we got from microsoft this may be fixed through the next major spring feature update (1903?) - you could try to toggle back the preference to its default value afterwards...

the preference shouldn't make to much of a difference anyway during normal browsing anyway, so you could also treat it as a permanent "workaround" too :))
