Well, that is sometimes why I turn auto update off on some add ons. Sometimes, since I am on a older version of Firefox, newer add ons don't work. I might add, some older add ons won't work with newer Firefox at all. Firefox disables them and works just not with the add on. Tab utilities is one of them. >> It is rare that I have Firefox crash. > Unfortunately, even a rare Firefox crash has long standing consequences. :( > I use session manager on most profiles and even if it does crash, I can go back right away. I don't recall losing anything. On some profiles, I have dozens of tabs open, sometimes close to and even over 100. >> It may get slow at times but it keeps chugging along.

My biggest cause of problems is incompatibility of add ons when either Firefox or the add on gets updated. It may be worth checking into again. Could be that all the new coding fixed issues you had before. One thing about it, you can always remove the newer profiles and go back to the old way. Dale :-) :-)
