Gah. Your tab just crashed.
Hi,
My Firefox keeps crashing, from what I can see in my about:crashes it started the 7. of august. It seems to be whenever it has to execute heavier operations in Javascript. Like, lazy loading more posts on Facebook, starting a stream on Twitch, etc.
It's not just one web page that fails.
I've got several crash reports, that all seem to crash due to nvwgf2umx.dll From what I've been able to read, this dll is a graphics driver from Nvidia. I've tried reinstalling the driver without luck. Also tried CCleaner and various adware/malware software to clean my pc, again no luck. Also checked the integrity of my registry with sfc/SCANNOW.

I know, I'm using the Firefox developer edition, but it also happened to me while using the regular Firefox (Can't find any crash report though).
Odd thing, I did something that worked, because I can't reproduce the issue anymore. So one of the things that I tried did have an effect.
I believe it's still an issue though, as it shouldn't really occur in the first place.
This is possibly a problem with hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Options/Preferences -> 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.
