This is a clean install of windows 10 just installed a few days ago with very little installed at all besides Firefox. I have not added any firefox addons. Just basic firefox and basic edge. I get constant crashes on facebook especially with firefox that do not happen on Edge. The first couple days using firefox on the clean install it was fine no issues. The last couple days constant crashing particularly on FB. This is a clean install on a brand new SSD drive.

I believe it is a Firefox issue entirely since it is not reproduced on the included Edge browser from Microsoft. I have not tried chrome.

In Firefox 54 and below:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
  2. Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.
  3. Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
  4. Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.

In Firefox 55 and above:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
  2. Select the General panel.
  3. Under Performance, uncheck Use recommended performance settings. Additional settings will be displayed.
