The first report is too old to be useful.

As to the others, what were you doing at the time?

more options

My apologies.. didn't realize the others were so old. It's been happening a lot the past 4-5 days. Typically i'm just watching a twitch stream or world cup stream, inactive while watching. It is still crashing every 2-3 minutes typically. I will try your other steps and let you know if it seems to be better.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

more options

Started in safe mode and opened up my usual tabs (reddit, gmail, twitch) and it crashed after less than a minute. I opened in safe mode again without opening twitch and I seem to be good.... Twitch seems to be causing the issue but I can't seem to figure out why.

I should also add that I have the same version of firefox on two other machines and they do not have this issue.

Have you contacted Twitch support?

more options

I have not. I just found out it's also happening with netflix. As well as random video players from world cup streams.

more options

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.

You can check the connection settings.

  • Options/Preferences -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":

So I've had a program called Bome's Midi Translator, which is some old legacy software that converts midi input into keystrokes i use for some autohotkey scripts. I went through 1 by 1 on my startup items and this seems to be the one triggering it. Not quite sure why this just started happening though. I don't recall any updates happening, and this software is from the XP days so it hasn't been touched in a loooong time. Thank you both for your help!
