2nd YouTube video selection causes multiple Firefox crash windows, can you help?
YouTube plays the first video fine, but when I select any other video from the browser window I get multiple Firefox crash alert windows. Nothing happens when I click the "Close the Program" option in the Crash Alert. Firefox remains open and eventually after a slight delay, the video selected will play, but the crash alert keeps popping up. -Began yesterday (3/11/19), no known changes to browser or system -Refreshed Firefox (did not help) -Attempted in Safe Mode (did not help) Thanks for any recommendations.

"I think those are system messages." I believe your deduction was correct. I performed a system update and the problem has not repeated itself. Thank you.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Enhancer for YouTube
Have you tried disabling this?
I pulled the Crash Report in Safe Mode and the most recent listed crash was back in February. There is nothing listed for the multiple incidents yesterday and today, but I have included a list below.
I installed the Enhancer in hopes of solving the problem. The issue occurred before and after installing the Enhancer.
Additionally, the issue always throws the crash alert window four times and then the video will play. See attached images.
Thanks for your help.

Those reports look too old to be of much use. However, the images you posted are not the Firefox crash messages. I this those are system messages.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
