Firefox crashes
Firefox is constantly crashing, no matter what version I use
Chosen solution
Try to disable Windows Media Foundation by setting these prefs to false on the about:config page.
- media.directshow.enabled = false
- media.windows-media-foundation.enabled = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
