Hello

# apt policy firefox
firefox:
  Installed: 116.0-2
  Candidate: 116.0-2
  Version table:
 *** 116.0-2 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Then it should be something wrong with firefox profile. I will delete it to start fresh.
Thnak you

[Lanzi]

I had the same years ago.
It was something with my profile. I really dont remember, but a quick search helped me then. Good luck!

[dibl]

I use both SRWare Iron (aka Chrome) and Firefox. Firefox crashes more often than Iron. I use the Firefox package from the Debian repo. We used to have a forum member named Piper who always used the Firefox nightly builds from Mozilla, so that may or may not be a better way to get it.

[sotnik]

I started with a new profile and crashed again!!!
I use firefox for more than 5 years and this is the first time that i have crashes.
How i can use nightly builds?

[hendrikL]

Maybe an addon is the reason for the crashes.
Did you try to start FF from the console?

[paco]

No problems here:

Code: [Select]

dpkg -l | grep firefox
ii  firefox                                       116.0-2                              amd64        Mozilla Firefox web browser
ii  firefox-l10n-de                               116.0-2                              all          German language package for Firefox


[sotnik]

dibl I will try that version
hendrikL I disabled (not removed) all addons but the problem remains
paco I have the same version

Code: [Select]

# dpkg -l | grep firefox
ii  firefox   116.0-2    amd64        Mozilla Firefox web browser

Is it possible the problem to be kernel related?
I booted with debian kernel and I don't have any crash yet

[edlin]

Unfortunately, it will probably not be that simple. My kernels come from @towo's craftsmanship and I have no problems. I guess the devil is in another detail.

[hendrikL]

what does the output of the terminal telling you? Start FF via terminal/Konsole, and paste the output here.

[hendrikL]

It would be great to see also the output of "inxi -GS" and "apt policy"!

[sotnik]

Thank you
Starting the ff from console does not produce any info.
As of the other commands see bellow:

Code: [Select]

# inxi -GS
