Everything worked fine until yesterday. At first it was tabs crashing but that quickly turned into Firefox crashing. I haven't installed anything, haven't done anything that would cause it as far as I know.

At first it was 2-4 minutes the tab would crash. Then it turned into Firefox crashing every minute or two. Now it crashes within a few seconds of startup.

Here's what I've done to try to resolve it. I've updated flash player, graphic drivers. I've disabled add-ons, started Firefox in safe mode, tried clean install, tried different version of Firefox. It's crashing constantly.

What else is there to do?

Firefox version: 63. (I've tried 64 and results are same). OS: Windows 10 64 bit.
