Why does jupyter notebook server keeps crashing when .ipynb files are opened?

Question

I was able to use jupyter notebook 4 days ago. The only thing that changed was there was a firefox version update.

After that the server crashes everytime .ipynb files are opened. Even the directory will have a server error. I tried it both on Firefox and Google Chrome, both browsers will crash the server.

My only kernel is python3 and it always says "Kernel Busy". I tried resetting my pc and the jupyter notebook, but nothing seems to work.

The console showed:

The last 2 lines are causing the crash but I don't know how to fix it

When I type conda install jupyter in the anaconda prompt, I get something before it finishes as shown below. Maybe it might have a cause as to why it is having issues:

I created a new python environment and installed python, matplotlib, pandas, jupyter and it still crashes

Solution

Please uninstall and re-install all the below items:

• ipykernel
• ipython
• jupyter_client
• jupyter_core
• traitlets
• ipython_genutils

Additionally, if you're going to install with conda, follow below command.

run conda clean -tipsy

This command will clean up conda caches before you start.

The issue doesn't get fixed even when I reinstall these packages and run conda clean -tipsy

Only firefox updated, so don't know why it also crashes on Google Chrome. As for downgrading, I have already tried downgrading as suggested previously, but it still crashes. I have also re-installed the components as mentioned in the other answer and even created an empty environment from scratch and only installed jupyter notebook, and it still crashes

I'll check and try the other recommendations here
