Constant Firefox tab crashes.
I keep getting the "Gah. Your tab just crashed." message i have tried many things as recommended on other posts but none have worked. These include *checking my ram *disabling hardware acceleration *reinstalling Firefox *Turning Adobe flash on to ask to activate. These problems are more prevalent on videos (more than just YouTube) but do still happen when just browsing the internet, I think something is getting overloaded and breaking but i have no idea what.

My graphics drivers are updated also hardware acceleration has not fixed the problem. After checking your account another similar question came up around my problem the answer was downgrading so i think I'll do that. If a fix comes out on Firefox that will solve my problem then I'll update.

Try to disable multi-process tabs in Firefox. You can disable multi-process tabs in Firefox by setting the related prefs to false on the about:config page.
browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. At the top of the screen is a search bar.
I have tried the 2nd option before and got no results (same crashing). Scanning now.
No integrity violations found any other ideas??
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.,) and then perform these steps:
In Firefox 54 and below:
- Click the menu button
and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
- Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.
In Firefox 55 and above:
- Click the menu button and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
- Select the General panel.
- Under Performance, uncheck Use recommended performance settings. Additional settings will be displayed.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.

If the problem is resolved, you should check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in these Knowledge base articles:

That is being looked into.

If you still want to downgrade, look under; I still want to downgrade. Click the Directory of other versions and languages link. Look for the directory of the version that you want. But, remember that old versions may have security issues.
