[OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox crashes, taking Xorg with it

[Sébastien Neuville]

Hi,

On my Thinkpad T460 with 16GB of RAM and an i7 processor, Firefox usually crashes before the 5th tab, and some sites make it crash even faster. I've ended up using Librewolf instead; it's more stable (though weirdly I can't set it to French).
