For a while I have been using google chrome and it was fine, but recently all of my extensions started crashing all of the time and tried different things to fix it. So today I decied to switch to firefox. It's ok, but chrome has some better extensions. Any cool things you can do in firefox that you can't do in chrome or any good extensions? Looking for a magic actions alternative.

I would try disabling betas, they usually crash, and I would check for viruses with something like malwerebytes, just in case there is a virus causing it. or try disabling all extensions and see if it still crash.

good luck, adw cleaner sometimes helps, also try deleting browsing data

Adwcleaner found some chrome registry key. Hopefully this fixes it.

Edit: Never mind after about a minute one of my extensions crashed.
