For the last week or so, Firefox has started crashing if I start downloading more than a few files. This did not happen before.

G'day,

This behaviour started a week or so ago.

If I try downloading more than a few files simultaneously, Firefox will crash. When restarted, the files will resume downloading, but adding a few more will cause the crash again.

This appears to also coincide with file downloads failing. Again picking the resume icon will see the download resume.

This becomes annoying as if I set downloads for off-peak, I now find almost all having failed and my off-peak allowance not being used.

This all worked OK before where I could have a couple of dozen files (and more) download OK.

Unfortunately, I cannot go back.

Supposedly crash reports are being sent.

I am running Windows 7 Professional 6 bit, I have 8 GB RAM (plenty available when running), with almost 400 GB of disk space available. I am running Firefox 45.0.2

Here are a couple. They seem to have a common name in

While the crash dialog that pops up says it is sending the report, the ones this morning are not listed.

thanks, can you try to disable the network discovery state in your windows options and see if this can make a difference? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enable-disable-network-discovery#1TC=windows-7

I went there, and it was already disabled.

I'll have to give it a try tomorrow and see what happens.
