hello, are you able toshare which sites this is affecting and could you provide your latest few submitted crash reports as well? therefore please enter about:crashes into the location bar, copy the latest few report ids from there starting with bp- & paste them here into a forum reply. this will give us a better understanding what may be triggering those crashes.

How long between starting Firefox and the problem showing up?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

i can try to break it down into steps:

  1. enter about:crashes into your firefox address bar
  2. the site will contain of two different sections: unsubmitted crash reports and submitted ones - scroll down to the submitted ones
  3. copy the ids of the most recent reports listed in that section (that's a long alpha-numerical string starting with bp-...)
  4. go back here into the forum an paste the ids into a reply

those all seem to be unsubmitted ones - do you have anything recent already listed in the submitted section? if yes, please copy/paste those too...

if no, while in about:crashes, please click once on the 3 newest unsubmitted reports' ids - they will then get submitted to mozilla's crash servers. then copy paste these three report ids that will now show up in the submitted section.

thank you, first please try updating your graphics driver. i think this is the latest available one for your system: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24971/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-64-bit

then go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser and restart once and see if things improve a bit.

ok, in case it's a laptop: some manufacturers don't allow a direct update through intel - you could have look if your manufacturer provides some updated drivers through their support website. if this isn't successful either you should disable hardware acceleration in Firefox's performance settings.

in addition please go through steps:

  • go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser
  • in Firefox's performance settings set the number of content processes to 1
  • go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy&security panel and set tracking protection to always
