I have a FreeBSD 12.0-p7/i386 installation running Firefox 68.0, and I don't have any problems. I even tried "modern" web pages, and even though Firefox sometimes seems to run a bit too slow, no crashes or freezes. But what you're describing rings a bell. Just to make sure you're not suffering from an inconsistent file system, boot your system in single-user mode and perform a forced full fsck on all filesystems, especially those carrying /usr/local and /home. Make sure you have the following setting in /etc/rc.conf: background_fsck="NO" Inconsistent file system can definitely cause the kind of problem you're seeing, so make sure it's not the case. NB: Does only apply to UFS. ;-) > If Firefox is incompatible with FreeBSD, what's the alternative? It isn't. Things that do not build or run on FreeBSD are either marked "BROKEN", or aren't part of the ports collection. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
