Firefox browswer crashing often after Feb 20 update
Since my Firebox browser automatically updated on Feb 20, 2023, it crashes several times a day. Is this a known issue? Will there be another update released soon to fix this issue? Or how can I fix this on my end? Thank you.

Thank you!!
Everything is marked as shutdownhang. Do you have Clear history when Firefox closes turned on in Settings?
I do not. I see that I had 1.5 GB stored in cache/cookies! I usually manually clear these items in my history on a routine basis. Perhaps it was not taking effect. I've cleared them now through the Settings vs through my History. I will see if this solves my problem!
Should I turn on Clear history when Firefox closes in Settings?
Thank you for your help!

No, I doubt it would help.
