How do I fix Firefox crashes from "breakpoint exception reached" error?
I had this issue about a month ago, and looked into responses given to similar crashes. I tried disabling Hardware Acceleration, reinstalled Firefox, removed all add-ons and themes, then did a clean reinstall without any of my old user information, and checked my RAM for issues to no avail. I still had crashes in between each attempted fix. I updated Windows Defender and ran virus scans but nothing was wrong. None of the minor changes seemed to make a difference, but the crashes stopped so perhaps it was a culmination of everything, or I just got lucky.
Well last night the issues started again. I checked my OS installation for issues this time, and reinstalled Firefox (and immediately turned off hardware acceleration), but it hasn't helped. I don't want to erase my Firefox Profile and everything else again, so hopefully someone can tell me the 1 thing I need to do to prevent this from happening. I made sure to submit all the crash reports, but most of the ones from the past 24 hours appear to be missing now, so I'll include the IDs from the last three reports before it stopped previously, as well as the first three I ever sent, since I assume this is the same error.

If it helps, I'm running the latest version of Firefox with Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Optiplex 9020. It's an Intel icore i5-4590 3.3GHz CPU, and the GPU is Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Zotac Mini 6G.
(edited to add line breaks since I noticed it was clumped together)

thanks, yeah these settings sound like they are supposed to be. however the crash reports are "out of memory" crashes and apparently the space of the page file became to small...
can you try if it makes a difference when you use ublock origin as an adblocker instead?: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

hi, did you change the system's default page file settings by any chance? if so could you please try to revert them to the system-managed default: https://lifehacker.com/5426041/understanding-the-windows-pagefile-and-why-you-shouldnt-disable-it

I didn't change the page file, but I don't know what the person who built this computer did. I followed the instructions on that link to check, and it is set to automatically manage paging file sizes for all drives. I left it at that.
If it helps, the bottom box states: Minimum allowed: 16 MB Recommended: 2636 MB Currently allocated: 49152 MB
Also, Firefox just crashed while I was in the middle of typing this, but no report was generated.

I've disabled my previous adblocker, and have your suggested one installed now. The crashes last night and earlier today weren't as frequent as they were last month when I had the issue, so it might take some time to see if I'm still experiencing crashes. I won't be using the computer for a few hours now, but I'll update you later once I've had the chance to see if it's made a difference.
Though as a quick memory test I did just go to tumblr and scrolled down through the images and animated gifs until there were over 100 ads blocked with no issues, so that's probably a good sign.
I don't know why it was fine for ~6 weeks before acting up again (and crashing on things like just the google home page), but changing adblockers appears to have solved the crashing issue.
Thank you phillip.
