Whatever website link I click within PIO I get a Firefox crash report that asks to send the crash report and reset or quit firefox. But when I start firefox it’s running without any problems.
I have PIO running in VSC in Ubuntu v19.
Try seeing if it’s PlatformIO specific, VSCode specific, or lauching-Firefox-from-an-external-program specific.
i.e. to see if it’s VSCode specific, try the Help -> Tips and Tricks or Help -> Introductory Videos entries… they’re nothing to do with PlatformIO. Or see if there is another program (LibreOffice maybe?) that triggers the default web browser…
Hi Pfeerick, yes it seems a specific problem within VSCode, Firefox & Ubuntu v19
See: Clicking urls makes browser crash · Issue #75579 · microsoft/vscode · GitHub
I uninstalled Firefox and installed Chromium
PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
Thanks

Excellent. It actually looks more to be a Snap issue, with the other workaround being to remove the snap version of VSCode, and install it from the deb package. As long as it works! 
Deleting an established web browser to install an experimental one isn’t really a solution
Seems to be confirmed by Clicking urls makes browser crash · Issue #75579 · microsoft/vscode · GitHub.
