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.

    Richard

        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.
