Ever since 52.0a2 update, my tabs are crashing constantly at random. Message: "Gah. Your tab just crashed". Uninstalled the product, rebooted, and reinstalled the product. Does not fix the problem.

I am running Firefox Developer Edition 52.0a2 (2016-11-23) (32-bit). I have a 64-bit machine running 64 bit Win 10 Home Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393.

Also, why is 32-bit the only option for download? Is there not a 64-bite version any more?

The Aurora (developers edition) and the more unstable Nightly channel builds gets checkins almost everyday so they get a update each of those days. This can sometimes lead to issues until fixed, finished, or reverted.

Release < Beta (b#) < Aurora (a2) < Nightly (a1)

A number of Testers hang out at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23 though more are Nightly users vs Aurora.

Just uninstalled 32-bit version and installed 64-bit version. Still getting tab crashes with the above message.

Thank you all for your assistance -- any insight would be greatly appreciated, this is driving me crazy.

hi again park2tell, thanks for providing some reports. unfortunately this is currently a known crashing issue on developer edition - mozilla's engineers are already on it and working on a fix, please check for available updates regularly.

Thanks -- yeah, this seemed too epic not to be a known bug. Does vanilla FF also have this issue or just the Dev Ed?

should only have been on devedition & nightly till now - can you check if the problem still reproduces in today's 52.0a2 build?
