FF61.01 tends to crash a fair amount on Mint Cinnamon 19. Dont remember having these issues as much in the past.

Its crashing on other distros as well but it depends on the website it appears. Its a fairly widespread issue but of course not everyone is experiencing it.

Back to MX17 its the best XFCE distro ive ever used.

Depending on the distro it appears Firefox 61.0.1/ 61.0.2 has solved the crashing issues.

I threw all the problem sites at FF 61.0.1 and have had no crashes at all, this after two days of testing. Looks like the problem has been licked.

Still having a few issues with some websites with the most recent FF 61. I have to resort to using Chromium on one site just to login.

I haven't had any issues with anything in Firefox on most systems. My work test system that I put base Ubuntu on won't work properly with Lastpass (have to open the lastpass page to login, can't do so from the plugin, known issue), but have no issues with 61.x on all my laptops or 60-esr on my desktop.
