When I favorite a webpage 9 times out of 10 Firefox will crash and cause my laptop to stop working, to fix this I have to do a hard reboot (holding the power button) every time, once the laptop has restarted the webpage sometimes doesn't save so i have to repeat the above steps as it sometimes crashes multiple times in a row. This doesn't happen on any other web browser and has only started doing this since the latest Firefox update, can someone explain whats happening?
