Hello,

I've recently started experiencing crashes on webpages. I believe it is linked to Flash (or HTML5?) media (i.e., playing a video on YouTube and Facebook).

I uninstalled Flash completely and the problem still exists. I also uninstalled, cleaned registry/old files, and reinstalled Firefox. None of this has fixed the problem. It still crashes in Safe Mode.

Prior to experiencing these crashes I did not make any changes to Firefox or my system.
