💻 Help Version 158.0 Crashes

I've been using Firefox for at least a decade. Just today, Firefox all of a sudden crashes on launch. This issue happens on the latest version, 158.0 (157.1 doesn't produce this crash). Here's the log:

If you go to about:crashes, submit a few reports, and post a few links here (or DM me) I can take a quick look.

Sorry for the delay in responding!

Hmm, this is interesting. Two things to try:

  • It looks like you're using Avast; can you turn it off and see if that helps?
  • If you go to about:config and set "widget.windows.windowsappsdk.enabled" to false, then restart Firefox, does that help?
