Gah tab crash

Since updating to version 135 all the tabs crash. I've uninstalled\reinstalled, deleted app data, disabled AV and created a new profile. The only time it works is in troubleshooting mode. I've looked at extensions and plugins and I'm only seeing OpenH264 video codec and Widevine content decryption. I've disabled those but still get the crashed tabs.

I'm also not generating any crash logs.

Having the same problem. Tabs that are active and in-use don't seem to crash (e.g., a pinned Gmail tab), but will crash if I navigate to a new url (e.g., I click on a reddit post) and any newly opened tabs will always crash. Some Firefox processes continue running for a bit (~30 seconds) after I close all instances.

Restarting Firefox fixes the issue temporarily. about:crashes says "No crash reports have been submitted."

Why is no-one responding to these complaints? I have now had to stop using Firefox completely as no help is forthcoming that actually works.
