Firefox crashing

I have been using Firefox for quite a few years without any problems at all, and in the past week it has been crashing a lot, I have done a refresh and disabled add ons, but it still occasionally crashes.
I'm using Windows 10, and the Firefox version is Qauntum 67.0(64-bit)
Has anybody had the same probs. Thanks in advance.

    Maybe the Quantum build you are using is causing instability in your specific rig. Have you tried a different build as sometimes this resolves the problem?...
    I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.

    I love my job

    I think 67.0 is a very new build. My machine has been pestering me to upgrade to it for the last few days, but I decided to wait a little while - perhaps for the .1 release - to ensure it's stable.

    So perhaps it's a recently-introduced problem. Are you configured to automatically download and install new releases ? You said you did a refresh after it had started crashing, but I wonder if it had already updated itself by then.

    Issues and crashes in Firefox are almost always caused by either a corrupt profile or an add-on.

    Try making a new profile:

    No probs here running 67.0 (64-bit)


    A new version of Firefox has been released 67.0.1 (64-bit)


    Try updating to the latest version to see if that resolves any issues.
