Firefox is crashing when I load above a certain number of tabs, and the crash reporter is failing to report it. At certain times I can't distinguish, this results in a BSOD too.

I keep restarting a session on my other firefox profile, because it includes posts I haven't finished writing or want to post, but after an indeterminate time firefox either:

  1. Hangs intermittently (3 minute-ish hangs with 30 second unhangs) and gets shut down by windows.
  1. Shuts itself and brings up a crash reporter, which then fails to send the information.
  1. Causes blue screen of death.

My suspicion is that the failure is caused by memory issues, as I can run this one no prob. Particularly, perhaps unwisely, I didn't stop opening new pages when it started crashing, and that seemed to cause it to crash faster.
