Your firefox does not crash by itself. It is wiped out by the system
when the process size reaches the maximum memory size you allowed to
be requested by your user.
Already seen with 5.1, 5.2 and if what i'm remembering is correct 5.0.
(No change made on any binaries). Memory size can increase a lot when
using a lot of tabs at the same time, or after loading pages
overloaded with crappy scripts for advertisement display. All this
modulates the delay before firefox relaunch...
Sorry for my poor english wording. Not my native language.
Perhaps this is related, perhaps not, but my firefox issue is that the
system becomes unresponsive as more tabs/certain pages (ads, videos) are
opened. Completely unresponsive: can't ssh in over the network (I'd try
serial but I can't find my cable). dmesg below. Time to try Chrome?
I observed the same behaviour. I have to wait a little bit for the
"application killing" by the system, or just have to press quietly two
times the "close" button on the window upper "bar" : then the window
manager proposes me to close the unresponsive application.
