Just tried it, and same here - frequent crashes. Librewolf (my default browser, based on Firefox and also just now upgraded to version 110) doesn't seem to have that problem, at least, I haven't come across any crashes so far. For this and a few other reasons, I recommend Librewolf over Firefox :-)

I am sure you are right. I just don't see more Firefox crashes than I normally do and that is pretty rarely.
Youtube Enhancer is the only add on I use so my Firefox install is pretty clean.

Do you have some specific links that can give you a crash every time or is it more random and periodically.?

It's the nature of being out on the Internet. For example, here is a link to the current batch of fixes in 110.0:

I know I know. That said, I would point out my Firefox isn't crashing, either.

Some talk about the passage to number 100 which would bug Firefox and Chrome on certain sites.

Information from a French site 01net.

Something weird is going on...because,
I had problems with previous version of Freecad
(in MX only but not in another distro running on the same hardware - see:https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=74047)
Since I have updated to this latest version things have been a lot better :confused:
I am not saying that what you boys and girls are reporting is not true, just reporting my experience.

Perhaps a comparison of your and my QSI (by someone more knowledgeable than myself) might give some clues?

How about starting "firefox" from a terminal and see if it throws up errors when it crashes?

Note that the graphics drivers on my x201 are the same as OP's and it is working fine.

On the firefox forums, people are talking about disabling hardware acceleration and also a new feature called 'GPU Sandboxing'. I looked into both of those settings but it didn't help.
I also tried forcing an older version in Synaptic manager for each of the other packages that were upgraded along with firefox but it shows version 2.36.... (the one prior was 2.38.4) and as such it wants to remove quite a lot of other packages which I don't want.

If anyone is desperate ( I only have one browser), I suggest you download FIREFOX-ESR from the repos for now.

EDIT: Note that over on the forums, people are saying that their youtube video playback is choppy. I didn't notice that on Firefox 110, however I did notice it on Firefox-ESR which is why I posted the info about what else was upgraded alongside Firefox 110 namely all the java and webkit stuff. Firefox-ESR does not have the new 'GPU Sandboxing' feature.
EDIT EDIT: I have a 3 rd laptop also running MX19.4 but it still has firefox 109.1 on it and is working fine. Firefox 109.1 has 'GPU Sandboxing' as well so I'm stumped now.
