Calibre itself didn't crash. Calibre converted the "zip" html files to epub files. I tried reading the files. At first, apart from the title page, they seemed to be blank, then they went haywire.

The first time this happened, a few months ago, Firefox started creating endless tabs, and I had to reboot.

Afterwards I changed some settings.

The last time, and this time repeating it, Mac OS X itself started producing endless error messages starting "there is no application set to open the url about:blank."

I don't know why an epub would try opening endless copies of "about:blank."

I was trying to deal with merging chapters which were publised as separate html files, at the same time or in sequence, and with replacing badly-formatted and/or inconsistently-formatted files with better versions.

And when I try to drag-and-drop onto the book details, the dragged file returns to its original location, as if the drag-and-drop is not allowed.
somehow you have firefox associated with what you think you are doing with your files. They are HTML, and Firefox is a normal way to open those.... But! they should have been INSIDE a book (format extension)

about:blank ALSO matches not seeing anything when you open a page

I have no clue what you are doing wrong

You can only drop ONE of any format onto details (AKA Comments ) pane. You can NOT merge pieces this way
