Happened past week or two.

Nothing had changed on my computer when it started to happen.

I will load pages and at times it will randomly turn screen black. new tabs and old tabs.

The pages load, as if i click it will load a new page based on what i clicked (like if im on a forum), but everything is black.

Only fix I found was closing the browser.

I have updated/refreshed Firefox earlier today and it still happens.

My RAM never goes over 50% used (even when I have games open while browsing).

It's a graphics issue, probably due to hardware acceleration and GPU drivers. As you are running Windows 10, could you update your GPU drivers.

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
