Browser crashing repeatedly, even in troubleshooting mode
The page I was on randomly crashed earlier today, and now every time I try to open another webpage, it crashes within 1-5 seconds of when I try to open it. I have tried restarting Firefox and running it in troubleshooting mode, neither of which helped. My Firefox version is up-to-date, and I have never had this issue before; I'm also not getting the "crash reporter" dialogue so I don't have access to information about the crashes, even through the Finder library. I'm not sure what's going on?

Okay, so, I restarted my Mac and the problem has resolved itself, so I guess it's okay?
