Thank you guys for helping us! So for now we know that:
- For some users "special link" with auto-expanding input disabled did help - but for some users it did not - so no conclusion here.
- For one user Nightly build helped. We need more. :) Shame that we can't test it ourselves in GOG. :(

Johny.: Actually I did - on my private PC.
Johny, Johny, what horror made you dual-boot?

And hey, how does GOG staff have a wishlist? I thought you were set for life.

The latest stable Firefox (41.0) was just released and with that version the crashes are gone. At least for me.

Thanks for the info! So nightly legends were true. ;)

To all that had the problem - please update Firefox and report if you have any more problems.

Apparently we had non-reproducable bug that disappeared. ;)

To more interested in problem origin:
In Firefox changelog I see nothing that could be related. Only trace is messagesChannel, but I bet it's not that, and they did fix something more. :) They described memory leaks etc. in security fixes, maybe that's it.

Would you try updating FF to latest 42? Might help.

That is funny. I tried to update using FF and it says that it is the newest version. After reading here that this is not the case I updated it manually through the FF website to 42.0. And guess what - the crashes are gone. Thanks for your help. :)

Np :)
Just a heads-up in case you don't already know, the best practice is to keep you web browser (among other things) always up-to-date to keep you safe from any patched vulnerabilities. From what I've seen, FF automatic updates in Windows doesn't always work reliably so it is best to check by yourself periodically. New versions are being released every 6 weeks and 42 came out on November 3.

The fun fact is that I first let it check if it really is the newest version and FF told me that it is. So it was not even the automatic update that faled it even did not recognise the newer version. But good to know that one should probably check manually to be sure.
