Firefox has been fine for over a year, but recently (maybe in the last few days) it has been crashing a lot - sometimes almost continuously. As soon as I restore a tab or the browser, it crashes again. It's becoming almost unusable. The problem isn't limited to just one site, seems to do it on almost anything.
So, I installed both Opera and Vivaldi. However, they do the same - tabs crashing randomly. That is likely to be a clue.
To top it all, in the last half hour Thunderbird has begun crashing. The same Mozilla crash report box pops up (though I thought Thunderbird was now independent of Mozilla?)
So, is there anything obvious? Any known issues? Linux Mint is fully up to date according to Update Manager. Firefox and Thunderbird were the default Linux Mint versions.
Any thoughts?
System info below. Thanks!
