Until this morning I ran "Firefox 68.6.1esr (64-bit)" on openSuSE Leap 15.1.
After a software update yesterday night performed by typing "zypper patch", all tabs appeared with this text:
Gah. Your tab just crashed. We can help! ... (complete text at http://ariannuccia.de/images.tmp/tab_crashed.pdf)
It did not help opening a new tab or trying a different URL. Whatever I tried to open, always the same nonsense described above appeared.
So, I downloaded firefox-74.0.1.tar.bz2 to /opt, installed it by typing "tar xjvf firefox-74.0.1.tar.bz2" and replaced /usr/bin/firefox by a symbolic link to /opt/firefox/firefox.
This was very simple and has the advantage that I can now run "Firefox 74.0.1 (64-bit)" instead of the prehistoric version 68.6.1esr supplied by openSuSE.
You installed a new version of firefox, while you had the old one running. This almost never works right.
I have three computers. Only on one of them Firefox was running during updating. But the error is equal on all three of them.
I'm using Tumbleweed, and because of such issues, not only with firefox, I update my system like this: - sudo zypper dup --download-only (if you're using Leap you can use "up" instead of "dup") - log out when you're fine with it - ctrl+alt+F1 - login as root - zypper --no-refresh dup - reboot
Is it really necessary to run updating on a black screen? Whatsoever, in the case of Firefox 68.6.1esr (64-bit), it was not worth while running an update for keeping this old version alive. With Firefox 74.0.1 (64-bit) I am much better off.
