For months now, Firefox has been crashing on my system multiple times a day. I uninstalled some time ago, then after a month,re-installed. Now the crashes are hourly! I am uninstalling and will NEVER use Firefox again.

Just thought you should know, the browser is attorcious.

Did you want to go through troubleshooting, or would I be wasting my time?

If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:

  • bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

You can find the Report ID of recent crash reports on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page (about:support).

  • Click the "All Crash Reports" button on this page to open the about:crashes page and see all crash reports.

If necessary then you can open about: pages via the location/address bar.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
