My tabs keep ''crashing''/disappearing/becoming empty, and Firefox reloads them

more options

Hello!

Since a few days, I have been having this problem of not being able to properly use several tabs at the same time anymore. For example, this is tab 3 and I just clicked on tab 2 and Firefox just forgets what it was (blank page) and then reloads the page. Also with YouTube playing, the song just randomly stops after a while. This is all really really annoying. I thought it was a problem with unnecessary reloading, and switched off automatic reloading in config, but then what I got was a blank page and no reloading. So, essentially Firefox just forgets what I was doing. I did a Firefox Refresh but it hasn't really fixed the problem. I think I had this problem sometimes in the past but those were exceptions and now it's a constant happening.


I have been a Firefox user for as long as I can remember, and I even donate from time to time, but this is the first time I am considering abandoning this Browser for Chrome (which I just find an annoying browser to be honest). I hope someone can help me, because I cannot find any info about this problem and don't really know what to look for either.
