Hi Richard,
I'm using Firefox everyday with Xenial and I don't notice random
crashes. I have already seen some crashes with Firefox with other
release of Xubuntu (14.04) in the past. But with firefox 46, I don't
have experimented frequent crashes...
Today, Firefox was updated on Xenial, maybe you could try the new
version 47.

Hi Jordan,
The only files being updated by Firefox and Thunderbird are in
/tmp and $HOME/{.cache,.mozilla,.thunderbird}. Since I am filling
out crash reports daily that go to Mozilla, I'll assume that they
will contact me.
I switched to Midori and Claws-mail as an experiment. Stable
although not as feature rich.
I also tried an alternate distro (Ubuntu MATE) on a 3rd machine
(AMD64 type with lots of RAM). I get occasional crashes there
too. My gut tells me that Mozilla common code for Firefox and
Thunderbird has some environment nuances if you aren't seeing it
too. This is the first time that I have ever had trouble with
Firefox and Thunderbird. I may try Chrome too.

Hi Richard,
Odd idea: have you thought of using 'journalctl' to see if any
of the main configuration files are being deleted by
accident? The --since switch will let you narrow down the
amount of information to a specific date range. Often I have
a script-in-a-script etc. in my crontab queue, and conflicting
commands cause issues.
Thanks
Jordan

Is anyone else having issues with Firefox and Thunderbird
on Xubuntu Xenial? I am getting random crashes almost
every day from one or the other, leading me to believe
that it is a set of issues in common code. I reported it
here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1581569
and in the Mozilla pop-up whenever I get it.
My 14.04 server has no such Mozilla issues even though the
Firefox & Thunderbird versions are the same as what's on
the 16.04 system.
If anyone else is having such an experience, please mark
that "it affects me" at the bug report.
If anyone has a work-around, please add a comment to the
bug report.
Thank you.
