I am using win10 x64 and the latest version of fire fox, everything was fine till I got this error message "Gah. Your tab just crashed." in every tab I open and this doesn't let me browse the web. I tried ff in safe mode but nothing changed. Can this be a virus or something?

thank you. there seem to be remnants of the babylon toolbar present on your system. please uninstall it if you have it present in your system control panel or else run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner which are specialised in toolbars and browser adware.

the other obvious 3rd party hooking into firefox would be your eset security product. can you please disable "scanning of browser scripts" and "banking and payment protection" once for testing purposes as described at https://forum.eset.com/topic/10592-process-for-browser-st-50-and-cannot-be-killed/#comment-54159 to see if this can make a difference.

hello, could you provide your latest few submitted crash reports? please enter about:crashes into the location bar, copy the latest few report ids from there starting with bp- & paste them here into a forum reply. this will give us a better understanding what may be triggering those crashes.

more options

I tried about:crashes but it says "No crash reports have been submitted."

do you, by chance have, the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) software installed on the affected system?

more options

No I don't. I figured out that in the windows safe mode this crash doesn't happen.

thanks, so it's likely that some third-party software on your system is interfering. could you install this addon which adds a button to the menu to artificially crash firefox and then provide a report (which will hopefully be generated this way): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/crash-me-now-simple/

I installed this addon
