Hello, I have a new pc and installed w10 from 0 with all the programs that I have always used; the problem is that firefox has crashed after a long inactivity, the same thing happened on my previous pc i thought it was because i had mistakenly deleted the information from the roaming folder, but not because the event was repeated today, this is happening since firefox 113. now what i have changed lately is this value

gfx.webrender.all is set to FALSE
&
gfx.webrender.software is set to TRUE (now I have set it to false to see how it works)

Do you see any crash report ids in about:crashes?

[-] Erikovick@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

no, it's the first and I don't have any reports :(

[-] Erikovick@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

I think that the problem was solved by setting the original value to gfx.webrender.software - false and I have not had a shutdown after these 2 days

I would suggest you take a look into the event logs. Maybe there is something that will indicate the reason for the crash.

I have checked and nothing the only error is the same one that has been presenting since version 113 with the default browser agent, I am really starting to hate firefox I mean bugifox always breaks something with each update while edge, opera, vivaldi etc have improved a lot I think I'll stop using firefox after 11 years

well, you can do what you want, but if you are interested in further analysing the issue, i'd suggest you take a look at about:crashes and see if you can find anything there. if you post your findings, i am sure people here will be happy to try and help you out. If you decide against further investigations then i still wish you the best of luck in finding a solution you'll be content with.

As I said, it was the first time so I didn't generate the report, previously, it happened on my other PC but I don't have those reports and now there is nothing
