Constant crashes

Post by flamelord » 2025-10-14, 21:01

Just seems to randomly crash, especially if I have 4-5 tabs open

Thanks for reporting. Without details we can't do anything, though.
Which tabs? Troubleshooting information? etc.

I can also confirm this. Though, in my case, it just disappears from the screen.
I have to restart it. It leaves no crash data.

Search for crashes in event viewer perhaps? It's Application section.

Wonder if the cause is some exotic hardware. I'm still mainly on an old Mac (not for much longer), and crashes are rare.

I too have crashes. They started with 33.9.0, and continue to 33.9.0.1. It just segfaults, no useful info on crash. Happens approximately once per day, but doesn't seems to correlate with anything, at least i cant spot any pattern - not on specific websites, not related to uptime, memory usage or number of tabs open.

I'm still on 33.8.2 because I saw others complaining of crashes. Could the crashes be connected with garbage collection? How long does Pale Moon have to detect an idle condition before garbage collection starts?
