Sorry to hear about the crashes. It seems the problem keeps returning for you:
- June 2015: Firefox keeps crashing randomly, usually with multiple websites open
- August 2014: Firefox crashes
So I guess Windows 10 isn't helping.
And you already know what I'm going to ask you: Please check the last section of the support article "Firefox Crashes" for steps to get the crash report IDs from the about:crashes page, and then post some of the recent ones here.
That helps us by providing links to the bug tracking system, more details about where in the process Firefox crashed, and links to similar reports from other users that may help in tracking down the cause.
Also and/or meanwhile, could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.
If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).
Any less crashy?
