My display driver is garbage, it crashes multiple times a day. It always has (I got this laptop second-hand). I'm used to it. I've tried reinstalling drivers, editing the registry, reinstalling windows, switching browsers, etc etc etc It's fine, I guess I can live with it crashing throughout the day, it flicks back on in a second or two.

HOWEVER, I can not live with it shutting down my browser EVERY TIME. Chrome and IE can recover from this, but apparently Firefox can't. Firefox just goes blank and won't respond- I lose all my pages. Chrome and IE will bounce back with the pages and tabs that were open when the display crapped out on me.

I guess my question is, how do I prevent this from happening? Or can you fix firefox so that it can recover from this? I really hate using chrome. Help me out, firefox

Did you already disable hardware acceleration in Firefox?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"
