Version 32.0.3 also fails to work.  There is a VERY LONG pause after the
first window is put up, that makes one believe that perhaps it has
forgotten all about the other windows and tabs, but eventually they
start loading, and then it all disappears and the FF crash window comes
up, as usual...

I THINK that all of these RecordMyDesktop recordings are Ogg Theora, but
in any case, they play with either Gnome MPlayer or SMPlayer...

Title:
  I have been unable to use FF versions after 28 - my windows/tabs never
  finish loading, and FF crashes.

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Each time a new FireFox version comes out, I install it, and then end
  up un-installing it, as it is unable to finish loading up my windows
  and tabs.  When this happened the first time, with version 29, I had
  to search the internet to find a version 28 for Ubuntu that I could
  install.  Since then, I just keep it in Downloads, and re-install that
  one with GDebi  when the newest FF again doesn't work...

  I don't know what the problem is, but something basic changed with
  version 29, and remained that way ever since.

  I will attach and add RecordMyDesktop recordings of both version 28
  working, and version 32 not working.
