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.
Best regards, Wolfgang
You installed a new version of firefox, while you had the old one running. This almost never works right. 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
