    EV> I got ESR 52.9.0 after I clicked the Help tab and then click   
    EV> the About Firefox option and clicked the Button to check for   
    EV> Updates a VERY LONG time ago.   
      
   I'll stick with 52.8.   There was probably a good reason why I still have 52.8   
      
      
    EV> Firefox often Crashes on me and what I was doing vanishes   
    EV> from the screen and the Mozilla Crash Reporter window comes   
    EV> on the screen. I just click to tell it to Restart Firefox   
    EV> again.   
      
   For me, that happens more often on my Win7 pc and the newest FF.  I don't   
   remember the last time FF 52.8 on XP crashed on me.   
      
      
    EV> Many Times - Because I have Many Tabs opened - Firefox will   
    EV> be real slow loading pages.   
      
   How many is many?  It may be prudent to keep that number lower.   
      
      
    EV> Lately I have been clicking the Crash Reporter button to see   
    EV> the Details of the Crash and then I Click in that area and   
    EV> press Alt - A and then Alt - C to Copy what's in there.   
      
    EV> I have looked at those text files some but haven't been able   
    EV> to learn what caused the Crash from reading what I saved.   
      
   I don't bother going that far.  So far, most sites are cooperating well.   
      
      
    EV> I'm a Man not a Cat, so curiosity can't kill me from trying   
    EV> to understand what's what in this here computer.   
      
   One thing I learned that would cause a problem was allowing FF to use hardware   
   acceleration.   
      
   Since turning it off, FF 52.8 has been a fine performer.
