Side-scrolling and multiple tabs causing computer crash, screenshot included
Side scrolling makes the screen glitch, and shows bits of background color in fixed positions when they're supposed to move with the scroll, then Firefox become unresponsive for a few seconds, then the CPU crashes. Multiple tabs open every time this happens.

this is the screen I get when it crashes. Manual restart is the only way to get out from here.

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
- Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
- In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
- From that explorer window, double-click on the Mozilla folder, then double-click on Firefox and then on Crash reports. Double-click on submitted.
- Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to View > Arrange Icons by > Modified to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
- Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
- Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
