      2 years at best , still able to run new games on highest settings.

      twice in past 2 weeks. Completely random.

      If you were interested extensions are:

      Libredirect
      Improve youtube (for youtube & videos)
      LiveTL
      Auto Tab discard (added after finding firefox devouring memory for some reason to the point youtube was lagging)
      BetterTTV
      Panorama tab groups
      600% Sound Volume

      Currnetly 52 tabs open, which I did both on Chrome and Opera as well.

      Again this is still not to the point that I feel like I can’t deal with it. The crashes were completely random and not to the point of becoming a trend.

          An extension shouldn’t be able to crash the browser, though.

          The crash details would be useful to know. The “windows reliability history” menu (how its called) of the control panel shows some of the useful things

          Similar. In Opera I used
          ublock (forgot to include in firefox list)
          Libredirect
          Improve youtube
          LiveTL
          And a different sound volume extension

          Prior to that in Chrome, I used
          ublock
          improve youtube
          livetl
          and yet ANOTHER volume extension (for some reason volume extensions get flagged a lot)

          I will say as an aside from our discussion, just to stress

          I’m not trying to say Firefox is doing bad at performance (I know going through this explaining my setup it may sound that way)

          What i’m trying to say is that in response to the original comment

          It’s interesting how we all are focusing on tiny non-noticeable performance gains when privacy is what matters in browsers.

          To basically say “Nono, performance is important! Please don’t stop”

          And yes, privacy is also important, Firefox can have both, and I really want to encourage that. Not one or the other.
