While watching Coursera or Youtube my Ubuntu tends to crash but this not happen with other browsers.

When the crashes started happening my firefox version was 56 and now I have upgraded it to 60.02 but the crashing continues. To add to the crashes there is flickering videos and it gives that lag feels. I tried reinstalling and following steps mentioned in this particular question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1179850. But that was of no help.

Here is my crash report id - bp-bada521f-c43d-4643-bcf6-a6ef50180615.

Do let me know how this can be fixed.

Crash Reason SIGSEGV Is a bug. Possible solutions are upgrading to a version of Firefox in which the bug was fixed or downgrading to a version of Firefox in which the bug wasn't present;

A solution would be uninstalling the version of Firefox from the default repositories and installing Firefox from the Mozilla repository, hoping that that specific bug was fixed: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

So, no answer for you as to what versions up or down but this does happen and it does get fixed.
