[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 1013257, member: 69368"] Thanks for the link. For about a year now I've been using Librewolf as my primary browser with FF as a secondary one. The latter had been my main browser since shortly after it first appeared on desktops and laptops, with time spent trying out Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Waterfox etc along the way. The hardened nature of LW has impacted my use of certain sites, i.e.banking/financial ones and I've used a relatively untweaked FF profile to visit those sites. I think that I've been 'guilty' of following the extra hardening path, much like I did to some extent the more extensions path before reining in my experimentation with those due to the number of sites that were broken by this, without very regular tweaking of the various extensions settings. I've long had multiple profiles in both FF and LW, using them for different purposes. Innovations like containers, default https and strict tracking protection have 'pushed' me into cutting back on the extensions installed on both browsers. I'm likely to continue with several profiles but need to adjust which uses they get put to I think. As for FF crashing after the install; a computer restart seems to have fixed the issue, as it has not happened again. This was afterclosing FF several times seemed to make no difference. Yesterday evening I used FF the most for various types of browsing to test it out. [/QUOTE]
