Why do you think so ?
There aren't any notifications from my firewall or antivirus-using norton 360.

Since the crashes/exiting happens randomly as well.
I think it started happening around this time and like this:

Maybe you will find a solution there. I think maybe the creators of Pale Moon will help you.

Unfortunately I don't really have any input why it's crashing to desktop for you. Since it's not actually an application crash there likely won't be any additional information to be found in e.g. event viewer. The only thing standing out from the troubleshooting information is that your video driver is old (2018) but I also know that there might not be any newer drivers available for integrated Intel graphics; still can't hurt to check though and if there is a newer driver try with that.
If that doesn't help or there are no newer drivers, try disabling hardware acceleration in Preferences -> Advanced and restarting the browser.

I tried disabling hardware acceleration, didn't work though.

Also, this issue happened on another computer that had updated video card drivers, so that isn't the issue either i think.

I have palemoon installed on several different computers, I cannot remember what version this problem started but it's a few versions back i think.

Palemoon will exit randomly and I don't know why, happens when refreshing a site and it could be any site. Let me know what other info i need to post and thanks in advance for the help/replies.
what version or version of Windows do you have on those several other different computers?

maybe test this problem on other Windows OS versions like Windows 11, Windows 7 and/or Windows 8.1 and see if you get the same result

I have windows 10 on all except one which is windows 11 and that also had the issue.

I don't have win 7 or 8.1 to test the issue.

Also, question... what is "npIPCReg DLL"? I don't recognize that as a plugin.

npIPCReg DLL is an foscam ip camera plugin.

Although currently and for some time now, I don't have that plugin installed, so it's probably not the issue.

I put up a post: Palemoon closing unexpectedly again when it happened to me on oneamericannews.com and now it is happening on https://mrctv.org/blog.

No messages, just closed. It doesn't happen all the time and goes a while between when it does.

I don't have any error messages in the error console as it apparently gets wiped when the browser closes.
