FF tabs keep crashing randomly
Tabs of FF keep crashing at random. This occurs on websites that I regularly visit and that usually do not crash. Restarting FF and reopening the very same website works without crashing. Usually the crashes occur only after a few tabs are open, but there is no clear pattern as to why, when, or how they occur. No websites are particularly prone, it does not occur in any pattern time-wise, and also does not seem to be linked to the number of open tabs.
This has been happening for a while now, i.e., even across different FF versions.
I am using up-to-date FF on the most recent version on Win10 on an otherwise perfectly fine working computer (Intel Hades Canyon NUC) with plenty of resources.

Thanks for your reply.
I had to submit the reports first, so the date listed is now the same for all (i.e., the date of submission). So I don't know in which order the crashes that these reports refer to happened. Anyways, here are some:

Make sure all software is up to date.
Thanks, Fred. My understanding is that this stems likely from some kind of graphics issue?
My software, i.e., OS, FF, and including all drivers is on their respective most recent versions. Of note, my computer uses a relatively unusual combination of an Intel CPU with AMD integrated graphics in an SoC.
However, I do not have any other crash issues or graphical issues in any other program (including other browsers such as Edge and Chrome).
That I cannot say.

Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/
in order to check the integrity of your RAM?
You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.
Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ?
If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file.
