Firefox crashes on downloading file

On my personal laptop I browse to my companies to log into their Virtual Workplace via Citrix Receiver. I am then given a choice of desktops. I then click on one and then that desktop environment loads in a new window. May issue occurs after a few seconds or when I try to do an action. I am therefore then back to my web browser with the available laptops.

If I again click on the same one as before it again opens a new window for that virtual desktop and picks up where my last session was up to when it crashed. The last few days it has again been working fine even when I have restarted my laptop each day.

However today it has started to "crash" again. I restarted the laptop again and it crashed out again at the same point after a few seconds. I restarted a third time and left it time for everything to boot up on my laptop and it crashed again.

However this time I left it 5 or so minutes after the failure and came back to it, I clicked on the same desktop and it loaded and seems to be working I have just gone back to the session and clicked on something and it has crashed again. I can't think of anything else running that could possibly be causing any conflict.

A freeze while in a session Is typically indicative of a network disconnect. I think I would start troubleshooting by testing with another device to see if the problem persists. You may also want to test your laptop from a different location to prove that the problem is not specific to your local network. If your Citrix infrastructure is behind a Netscaler, if that netscaler is being used beyond its licensed limit, it will start dropping packets and cause similar behavior.

That's a fairly rare occurrence as I think most businesses will purchase adequate license levels, but it's worth mentioning. I have run speed tests on my own network when it crashes and have seen normal speeds.

I have taken my laptop from my home to my place of work and have seen disconnections there. I have had my friends laptop running a virtual desktop whilst on my laptop has been having the disconnections on a separate virtual desktop. It has therefore only ever failed on my laptop and has done so in different connections. I do get a question regarding using nglauncher press yes to run-get asked on mine and my friends laptop when I successfully initially login which suggests a netscaler.
