In the past 5 minutes, MFF 73.0 x64 crashed 3 times. I've sent an error report, I always do, so quite a few should be at Moz. System: I5 6600K 16gb RAM GTX 1060 6GB 16tb disk space, of which 60% to 70% in use.

Crashes are irregular in time, but always with an instant CDT.

Tabs also frequently crash out on me, for no apparent reason. This too happens at irregular intervals. See picture below.

Please advice? Thank you. Xog.

I tried a few times to submit, all keep failing. Is there a manual way to do so, sir?

more options

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

more options

Safe Mode also prevents submitting.

I am in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\submitted. How do I send the file, sir? Or, wheretoo?

BTW: the ONLY file there is a BP one... and it is quite very... empty...? This could be why the files cannot be submitted: these do not appear to even exist.

Well, unsubmitted has only a BP one, sir. I have no idea where the others are?  :(
