Firefox crash notice?
For the last couple of days I've been getting a popup from "Mozilla Crash Reporter." I don't use Firefox. It's certainly possible something I run in the background could be trying to use it since it is installed. I'm going to uninstall, but any thoughts on what might be causing this? Malware?

I checked those earlier - my apologies for not saying so in the original post. The only new info I have is that I now realize I have Mozilla Thunderbird. I'm wondering if that is to blame.
To be safe, I loaded Malwarebytes. Scan negative. I fired up Mozilla to check the 3rd party stuff, and the only thing it showed was Malwarebytes.  CT

Go back a version or try a new version and see if that fixes it.

It might be an updater program for Firefox etc.
Try https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sy...loads/autoruns and see if one runs at startup. |
