F32 - Firefox keeps crashing today

[Robert Moskowitz]

5 times so far today.  Crash reports sent off to mozilla, but still 5 times?

Nothing in Messages, only the start of Firefox:

I am current on updates (no updates it seems for the past couple 
days?).  I did update Friday and rebooted at that time (after ~3 weeks 
without rebooting).

Anyone else seeing this or stable Firefox?  I have ~18 windows of 
Firefox open across 3 (of 5) workspaces.  Multiple tabs open in each 
from 2 - ~15 tabs depending.

Does Firefox sometimes hang, with the window going dark?  IF so, you 
might have some cruft in its cache, or other files.  Consider 
installing, configuring and running bleachbit to clear out leftover bits 
and bytes and see if it helps.

Nothing like that.  Most times, I was opening a new window to do 
something else and it crashed.

One time I was on a VM doing some other work when it up an crashed.

I am wondering if it is a memory available issue.  I am running low on 
real memory, but plenty of swap.  Currently I am seeing:

free
               total        used        free      shared buff/cache   
available
Mem:        7553892     5341224      550328      392564 1662340     1553880
Swap:      16777212       69212    16708000


In my old F30 setup I only had 4G of swap and I would use all real and 
swap and the system would then kill firefox or qemm.  Finally added 4G 
of diskfile swap to stop that nonsense.  Here, I have lots of swap space...

What is "Messages"?  Did you check in the journal?

/var/log/messages

How do I check journal

"journalctl".
"journalctl -b" starts from the beginning of the current boot.
"journalctl -r" starts from now and goes backwards.
"journalctl -fa" prints messages as they happen.

Try running firefox from a
terminal.
With some luck, it could print something when crashing.

I haven't run into any issues. Does Firefox keep crashing even if you 
start it with all addons disabled? If so, does it keep crashing even if 
you start it with a completely fresh profile? You can go to 
about:profiles to restart your browser without addons, or to create a 
new profile for testing.
