Using the latest Nightly version which I update every day. For the last couple of weeks the tabs will crash as soon as I open Nightly unless I am in Safe Mode. That said, I do not have any add-ons or extensions enabled other than the default Mozilla ones. Running the system report, it does list 14 extensions that do show up when I simply use the menu to open the add-ons/extensions page. I am attaching my about:support info. Anyway, I wonder if it is one of these extensions that is causing the problem since being in safe mode prevents the crashes from happening. At first I thought it was a universal problem and if I simply kept updating the program it would fix the problem but since it has persisted this long I am guessing it is something unique to me.... Thanks for your help, Dan

Chosen solution

please try to set "accessibility.force_disabled" to "1" in about:config and see if this is making a difference.

I should let you know that the computer is at work and there are network firewalls, filtering, etc in place and I know that can sometimes affect things....

Thanks cor-el. I'll follow the bug thread (1374792).

Well, the bug reports are a bit over my head but it appears that the 1374792 bug has mostly been resolved and incorporated into the newest nightly versions and I am still having crashes immediately on all my tabs as soon as I open nightly unless I am in safe mode.

I update my nightly version daily...

That seems to have done it! So far so good. Shall I mark this as solved? Or should it be working with "accessibility.force_disabled" set to "0"?

if the issue is fixed for you, you can mark it as solved - mozilla will continue to look into it in this new report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1381943
