My Firefox seems to be crashing every time I try to open multiple windows that seem to load slowly, overwhelm Firefox and make the whole thing crash.

For example, it seems to happen a lot while on the Entertainment Weekly website, (though it happens often on others as well). If I am reading a page and try to pre-load several other articles into new tabs to read as well, it sometimes seems that opening more than a couple of tabs will cause my browser to crash completely while they are trying to load.

Here are my last five crash reports, if that helps:

Unfortunately the linked crash report wasn't send or is empty (@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump) and doesn't include any data, so it is not possible to find the cause of the crash.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

I had read about disabling the hardware acceleration on another thread and had done that already. It didn't seem to help. Thank you anyway.
