firefox crash when "open new tab"
I've been having firefox (latest version) crash when clicking on the
"+" to get a new window with a blank screen; don't think the blank screen is the problem. Just my system? anyone else?

Is hardware acceleration disabled ? Disable it, to see if this is a 2D BitBlt problem, or whether it is actually related to the Firefox design. Considering how "fragile" the video drivers are, I'd give that a try. Firefox 40.0 Tools : Options : Advanced : General Use Hardware Acceleration --- Untick HTH, Paul

Firefox 40.0??? mine is still 39.0 & "up to date". Found that FF on my laptop acts normally; no crashes which had me puzzled. Yes, I believe that the Hardware Aceleration was set to on..... don't know about the laptop tho. The 6 yr old Gateway has AMD cpu & AIT graphics. Desktop also has an ATI/AMD graphics HD graphics card.

It wasn't intentional on my part, to get as flaky a copy as possible :-) More a matter of me not understanding the implications of what I downloaded. And when I opened Firefox and got that info, the little rotating download icon said it was trying to download yet another copy. You can never have enough downloads, apparently. Paul

Paul Something is wrong with my Firefox & will just download a copy to install over the existing; hopefully that will work without crashing. Interesting that software can start another tab without crashing FF! I can just do my usual & open another FF window which works without a crash. Even installed an update of AMD catalyst control center; then was prompted to install an updated driver for win10, which I did without it being successful in keeping FF from crashing. Something is flakey with my desktop machine!

Paul Old thread but FF 4.0 fixed the new tab/ctrl-t crashes. It was interesting that selecting an item from the FF main menu does a new tab without crashing & even had crashes on the Comcast site when selecting the forums option! However, FF 40.0 fixed things on the desktop with an ATI graphics card & new drivers.
