Hi Nik, Does the Mozilla Crash Reporter come up? If so,
- Open Firefox.
- Go to Help > Troubleshooting Information. That should open a new tab with info about your Firefox setup.
- Under "Crash Reports for the Last 3 Days" click on your latest crash report. That should take you to a web page starting with "https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/" and post the address of your latest crash report.
We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for responding. Like I said in the original post, there were no error messages. No crash reports whatsoever when I check.
If you go to System Preference > Security & Privacy > Privacy and click Advanced, is "Log out after... minutes of inactivity" check marked? If so, try unchecking it.
No, it is not check marked
