What is it with this version of Firefox 34.0.5?!
It decides at random times to SHUTDOWN and RESTART - all by itself!
I have seen this happen when I am viewing a TV channel (using VLC) and FF then "overwrites" what I am watching. At first I thought that this had something to do with some relationship between VLC and Firefox v 34.0.5 but this is not the case: Firefox just simply restarts even though I am doing something else!
This has NEVER happened with previous versions of Firefox. So, why is 34.0.5 so "special" (and such a PITA)?
BTW, this restart by FF occurred a few minutes ago while I am using *Tumbleweed* (contrary to what you read below in my Signature line) and it also has occurred in 13.1 and 13.2 - hence this post.
Something to do with the AddOns I am using, you say? Hardly think so as I have been using the same AddOns for years and FF has never behaved as it does now.
Anybody else having similar experience, or know of why this is occurring? As I said this is a random occurrence (although at one time I thought I noticed that it occurs ~120 minutes after I start viewing a TV channel).
Firefox has really gotten to be so broken. I wish I had a solution to offer, but the project seems to have taken a severe left turn and its off in the wood... I'm afraid we will never again see a day with a decent firefox distribtuion ever again. Ruben
