Firefox tabs keep crashing all the time

Recently my laptop was fixed by Dell (under warranty) and its motherboard was replaced. Since then tabs crash from time to time, a few time every hour. Sometimes upon opening a new URL sometimes while working. It writes "Gah. Your tab just crashed." Sometimes clicking "Recover" helps, sometimes it crashes again and I need to click it more times. It can happen in many varied sites: Whatsapp web, Google Docs, Gmail, eCommerce website and so on. I updated my Windows update, my Firefox and the graphic driver to the latest version, with no help. Here are a list of a few crashes happened during the last hour or two: bp-9de44d6a-3a90-4783-a7d3-c93180200922 bp-049c5dc5-b7fe-4833-aca2-a33c70200922 bp-d895ec6c-04d8-41c2-877f-85d720200922 bp-08c846e9-dd3a-4281-9d5d-72d8a0200922 bp-d476bbef-f778-4d8e-a764-f9d4f0200922 bp-22dce83a-48bb-45ad-9a0d-06cb40200922 Your help trying to find the problem and fix it is most appreciated!

We have recently seen multiple reports that Bitdefender is causing issues with tab crashes in Firefox 73.

It looks that Bitdefender has pushed an update to address this issue 21 Feb 2020

MemTest LAST UPDATED : 12/04/2020 Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/ in order to check the integrity of your RAM?

You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.


Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ? If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file.

I have read all the stuff above before sending this query. I tested in safe mode - it still crashed. I removed all add-ons - still crashed. I don't use bitdefender (I don't even know what it is, but I checked and there is no sign I have something like that on my PC - it's a fresh copy of Windows) I also tried to disable graphic acceleration. Nothing helps. I'll be glad if anybody find something more specific in my error reports, because I'm already after reading all the general stuff from the Internet that can be found by Googling my problem :-( Thank in advance!

Update: My Dell has a bios-based memory test, which passed. However I used the memtest.org application from a USB disk, and it also passed with 0 errors. Regarding page file - I kept (meanwhile) the default values, so yes, I do let Windows handle the page file. Anyway, as can be seen in the error logs, memory was far from being exhausted at the times of crashes (I have 16GB, more than 9GB were still free at a few I checked)

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Thank you everybody, but unfortunately all these answers I have already found in other similar posts here, and none of them helped. I passed over all the links that were kindly sent above. I actually never post here, this is the first time. I always solve my problems by googling. But this time I'm really desperate! I tried memtest from a USB device, no errors. I also tried Dell's built in bios-based memory test, which passed. I don't have bitdefender. I tried Firefox safe mode - still it happened. I disabled hardware acceleration - still it crashed. I disabled all addons and extenstions - no help.

Does anybody seem to find something *specific* in my error reports that can give a clue as to my problem? Because all general tips didn't work.

Here is a another one from a few minutes ago, right after logging in to my Gmail account: bp-7d076118-6af4-481d-8d08-3609f0200922

Thanks in advance! jo.

I don't know why my responses are removed. If I violate any rules, please inform me so I will not make the same mistakes in the future.

Meanwhile nothings helped, including Windows 10 safe mode. Tabs keep crashing, and at one case I got the blue screen.

Thanks to all of you who are trying to help.
