Hi, I have been seeing that firefox crashes almost every time I play a GIF or sometimes a video. This happens quite often and I see a white screen when trying to play them from the browser. Need some help here. Thanks

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 Submitted crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

Please, Do not post a screenshot ! !
