Tabs crash on specific websites, even with all add-ons disabled, except in safe mode

more options

Some specific websites or parts of website make the tab crash in Firefox 61.0.1 on Ubuntu 16.04. I found that maps.google.ca and tvanouvelles.ca systematically make their tab crash before they are even displayed. facebook.com is fine as long as I don't use the chat. As soon as I open a chat tab or I go in full screen messenger, the tab crashes. messenger.com crashes after I log in.

In safe mode, everything works fine. However, when I disable every add-on in normal mode, the sites specified above still make their tabs crash. Is there any custom setting that could make them crash? Or is it that an add-on still has an effect on the browser even when it is disabled? Thank you for your help!

I called for more help.

Did you get your Firefox from Mozillla.org ? Some versions not from Mozilla have had issues.

For some reason, the version I already had started to work properly today. However, when I launch it from the console, I get these errors whenever I try to load the websites I listed in my question:

 libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
 libGL error: unable to load driver: amdgpu_dri.so
 libGL error: driver pointer missing
