Firefox crashes for no apparent reason.
So been having this issue for a long time now. But I figured it was something to do with a corrupted OS as I had a few other minor errors and was to lazy to really do anything about it. Just did a full fresh install of my OS. I have no Add-on's on and it just crashed. It seems to just crash for no reason. Sometimes in response to me clicking a hyperlink or changing a tab. sometimes I could be reading a page or watching Netflix and it just crashes. Yesterday each time I tried reopening it it kept crashing till I restarted my computer. I am also currently not using an anti-virus program so that's not the issue either. though that will be rectified very shortly.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
