I don't use Mozilla Firefox anymore, but I also experienced crashing tabs with Firefox too. Here is console output I see now from tab crashing in Waterfox 2020.01: Note: I am confused why there is reference to /home/akontos since it does not exist on my computer. ``` [Parent 38436] WARNING: pipe error: Broken pipe: file /home/akontos/Waterfox/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 709 [Parent 38436] WARNING: pipe error (101): Connection reset by peer: file /home/akontos/Waterfox/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 353 [Parent 38436] WARNING: pipe error (99): Connection reset by peer: file /home/akontos/Waterfox/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 353 [Parent 38436] WARNING: pipe error: Broken pipe: file /home/akontos/Waterfox/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 709 ###!!!

I haven't paid too much attention, but I noticed some things a while back indicating that Waterfox web browser was sold to/acquired by System1 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22338321 I innocent-until-proven-guilty trust System1 for now. Pitchforks are not equipped.
