Firefox crashes, usually on video content
I did everything they recommend on the support page (safe mode, reinstall etc.) but my Firefox 55.0.3 still keeps constantly crashing on Video content. Youtube, etc.
here is the crash report:

That is a problem with the Shockwave Flash plugin.
See:

YouTube would normally use the HTML5 media player and not the Flash plugin.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
