  "textContent": "I started getting random crashes after the upgrade to v34.3.0 a few days ago. The pattern is startling, to say the less. They don't happen when Pale Moon is in active use, nor when under memory pressure. What happens is that, after browsing for some time, I close the window I have been working on, I minimize the window with my default set of tabs, and then, a few seconds, perhaps a minute later, PM closes itself. Silently. No error message, no action from my part. It just disappears from the task bar and the process is gone. The default set of tabs are static pages, mainly home grown web apps, neither of which show any ads or do anything strange/suspicious, so I doubt they are to blame - and I have had no problem with them for months/years.\n\nI don't think they are caused by an add-on, either, because AFAIK the ones I use haven't been updated recently (most of them are quite old and saw the last update years ago). And, again, they didn't seem to cause any problem before v34.3.0.\n\nThe crashes happen usually when I have been using Pale Moon for some time without rebooting, but memory usage by PM rarely exceeds 1-2 GB (and, for the record, I'm using the 64 bit build on a 16 GB system, so there should be plenty of room). Maybe it is related to garbage recollection, triggered by the window being closed? A hint in that direction is that, after closing a memory intensive tab, sometimes PM is sluggish for some time (seconds to tens of seconds) before returning to its being. Maybe it's a reverse placebo effect, but I don't remember that effect being so sever before v34.3.0.\n\nGiven the nature of the crashes (intermittent, silent, after some time of use), I don't know what can I do to diagnose them or provide more information. Maybe I could somehow enable post-mortem dumps?\n\n* * *",
