Firefox crashes
Hello! My Firefox crashes down every time I open more than 50-60 tabs. I reinstalled Firefox several times without any result, then I reinstalled Windows, but the problem is still here. Antivirus is working, and there's nothing wrong with the other programms. Here is the last crash report number bp-f5bc8c27-5f41-44b5-a157-8a1bf2151023. Thank you! Best regards, Barbara

Having 50+ tabs open at the same time is bound to cause problems. I have never heard of someone doing this. Is there a reson you need all these tabs open at the same time? You could just bookmark the pages and not need to keep 50 tabs open. Also, what version of Windows you are running matters. Honestly, If you open 50 tabs I would expect a crash. It simply takes up too much memory to run 50 tabs. Genaric response below.

I've got Windows 7. This problem appears only on this laptop. On the other laptop I open 100+ tabs and Firefox works normal and never crashes. And on this laptop the problem started for about a half year ago (he's 3 years old). I have to open so many tabs because of my work.
If you have a job that requires 100 tabs to be open that is a very unique job. Due to the increase in graphics/resolution of computers now I dare say it is impossible to open 100 tabs unless you have a $10,000 crazy set-up or buy devices to increase your ram, memory,cpu and a really expensive GPU or turn your resolution and graphics to there lowest levels, turn off color, and shut down all programs that you can. I really do not think it is possible. I never go past 5 tabs.
