Firefox Crashes when I maximize

Hey guys,

Firefox has been picking a fight with me today. Whenever i start Firefox, It starts in a small window. Whenever i try to maximize or resize the window then it crashes. I've tried to open it in safe mode and to refresh Firefox, But it only keeps crashing when I do.

I've seen in the task manager that whenever I resize it or do something to make it crash, it's memory usage skyrockets to 2-3 gig before crashing. I have recently installed a new GPU on my computer, It's a MSI Radeon R9 380. Don't know if that might have something to do with it.

I don't really want to change browser since I've used Firefox for as long as i can remember, and it feels like home. So please help me with this one.

Regards

I've solved the problem. here is how:

1. Close browser.(If it hasn't crashed by it self already). 2. Uninstall Firefox. 3. Open Internet Explorer 4. Go to google and search for Chrome. 5. Download it and Instal.

Congratz! Now you no longer have a shitty Browser with a shitty support! no fucking wonder people are leaving Firefox...

Hey there!

Okay so I've got some good news and some bad. The good news is that It doesn't crash no more when i Maximize the window. The bad news is. Now it crashes whenever i open a new tab and alos randomly crashes when it feels like.

I've deleted all add ons and made a refresh of it and what not.

Here are the most recent IDs

bp-3a639c52-e646-465e-8e2d-944322150805

bp-cb0f7e9f-4b44-440c-b2d2-7f5e22150805

bp-0d30bb62-c0ce-4ec9-9923-901c62150805

bp-872d9c02-4a45-4153-804a-42ea62150805

bp-b91cb065-ba05-4369-9134-edd972150805

I'm guessing most of them are when i opened a new tab.
