Firefox crashes when tab is moved to other screen
I've tried disabling all plugins and it does not seem to make a difference. Ive made sure my video driver is up to date. I've tested in internet explorer and google chrome and those do not have the same issue. I currently have Mozilla Firefox 84.0.1 x64 installed on a windows 10 pc. I do not have flash player installed if that makes any difference. It does not matter what kind of tab is moved from one screen to the other i.e. it can be video or not - still crashes firefox. There is no crash report, firefox just seems to freeze infinitely and the only way to close it is through taskmanager.
