It could be your graphics sub system.

Try a couple of things:

Go into FF options and in the performance section, disable everything.

Next, go into FF plugins section and disable everything in it

Next open up your graphics card control panel/app and disable the settings that give control of it to apps.

Then reboot and take a fresh look at this issue.

Basically, an OOM (Out Of Memory) means the system is having issues with the RAM.

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 ? Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings

If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file. How to determine the appropriate page file size for 64-bit versions of Windows {web link}
