Tabs crashing on pages that appear to use more resources
Hello all.
I'm running into frequent tab crashes, very commonly on pages that have a lot of elements, or things to render on the page.
Specifically, I am being challenged by gmail, where switching to my inbox will 100% crash my tab.
Here are a few crash reports to look at from this gmail example. It is not gmail alone that causes this, other websites such as Zillow, youtube, etc. Pages that contain a lot of information and pictures typically cause this.

I also want to mention that I have the exact same profile loaded onto another machine, and I experience no issues. I do not believe this is an extension issue, but I am open to disabling all of them and generating more crash reports if anyone would like for me to try that.
What stuns me the most in these crash reports is the reported amount of "available virtual memory" exceeding far beyond what I have available on my machine. Can anyone help pinpoint what about my system would keep making Firefox think I have this much available virtual memory?
Thanks for any advice and help!

I want to add that I've disabled Windows automatically managing my page file size in an effort to combat this. I don't know if the custom values I set actually took because my reported page file size is still 34816, which is not what I set my max value too.
