Firefox crashes constantly after 61.0.1 update, even as often as every other minute
Since Firefox Quantum version 61.0.1 I haven't been able to view more than one stream on Twitch.tv while watching a youtube video or another Twitch.tv stream. If there are more than one stream at the same time, every tab except one is just buffering forever, but when I click in the tab/window/chat/screen of that stream, it'll continue shortly and others will go to buffer. On top of this, it crashes all the time. Tens of times a day. Sometimes I restore tabs after crash and load the pages and click play just to crash again. The about:crashes don't list a bunch of the crashes but here's few recent logs (the uptime is commonly around 4-5 minutes):

I googled similar behaviour up and checked I don't have any power saving options (like cstate) enabled on my computer (even the minimum processor setting is set to 100% to prevent any weird behavior on automatic overclocked system). I also tried preventing other apps etc from using firefox (for example the accessibility apps) since that helped somebody. I don't understand the crash log but I was wondering why the build architecture is amd64 (seems to be the same for others using Intel systems too).
