The regular Pale Moon FTP server, dumps dir. Nobody else so far has had any issues with that.

The Palemoon FTP site.

What client is he using? I recommend filezilla.

+1 for Filezilla. Also make sure your antivirus isn't doing anything weird with the upload. I've run into FTP issues that were being caused (silently, without any indication) by antivirus.

+1 for FileZilla here too.
Just make sure to always download it from this location:
https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1
The default download (big green booby trap button) seems to be OK at the moment.
..but sometimes, it might give you an installer which comes bundled with adware!

I've been using the Linux Mint FTP client.

@Dgwphotos I also would recommend trying with FileZilla.

I uploaded the dump again using FileZilla.

No problem with the archive this time. Peculiarly, uploading with your -other- client actually added to the size it should be (almost 565 MB vs. 563 MB now). Something really odd going on there.

Okay I'm sorry to say but this is a pure NVidia driver crash.

Crashing module:
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_desktop_ref4wu.inf_amd64_6e17fae58779a6b0\nvd3dum.dll
Version: 21.21.13.6909

It crashes when the rendering engine releases a layer texture and cleans up the pointer to it.

The only solution for this is a fixed driver or (as a workaround) maybe disabling layers acceleration in the browser.
Is there a newer driver available? If not, maybe you can report this to NVidia's driver team (they might want the crash dump as well).

I think I've had newer drivers, they've still been problematic.

Dgwphotos · Unread post by **Dgwphotos** » 2019-04-04, 20:13

I went ahead and updated the drivers. No problems so far.

After several days of no problems, the crashes are back.

My response remains the same. Sorry that the driver update didn't solve it for you.
Try disabling layers acceleration (in about:config, set layers.acceleration.disabled to true, then restart the browser)

Not that it's particularly important, but does that affect how some fonts are rendered?

Unlikely, but it -is- possible in some edge cases, since compositing textures will be handled differently.
