Constant tab crashes nearly 100+ times per day
Not even an exaggeration. It's only 9 pm and I've already submitted over 80 crashes for today alone.
For Hardware Acceleration, I've tried to disable and enable and disable it again with no change. I tried to read around and turned on "Prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser" as well, hearing that some people have tried that with results. I do not have an actively scanning antivirus running, nor firewall. I had this issue before the upgrade to Quantum. I did a completely clean upgrade in hopes of fixing it, and I'm still having issues. Daily. It's been ongoing for several months at this point.
Here's some of the IDs of the last reports: 10 each. Unsubmitted reports:

Let’s do a full clean re-install;
Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
Do Not remove any profile folders.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

I did this today as instructed and for a while it was good - and then I had my first tab crash again just a bit ago. bp-42bc851a-589b-4d35-bd7c-b9d740181111 11/11/2018 2:15 AM bp-f3f721c5-91d2-4dc9-8b56-7d4b80181111 11/11/2018 3:30 AM
I've also had tabs reloading themselves in the background but not fully "loading" until I click over to it. IE: A youtube video was paused in one tab, I come back an hour later and the page refreshes and the video has to play from start again. This isn't exclusive to only youtube, but it's one most noticeable.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Did a system file check and came back without any issues. Wasn't able to keep safe mode up for long because I need my extensions in order to even do anything.
But I noticed tabs were slowing down considerably in safe mode and I was getting the yellow banner on the top of the page "A web page is slowing down your browser" and the whole browser was slowing down and freezing instead of crashing.
I dont get that issue out of safe mode (unless I'm trying to view a very large revision history in google docs, which is then understandable).
Still getting frequent crashes multiple times per day. Sometimes immediately after closing the browser and re-opening. Sometimes after keeping it open all day. Annoying.

Bump? Still ongoing. Daily. Several times a day, and often when i'm in the middle of doing things. The above makes no sense to me and doesnt tell me what's wrong, or what I need to change.

As a side note, I have literally been dealing with these crashes since April. https://streamable.com/9uu5f A quick gif to show *all* of the crashes that show up in about:crashes. There's hundreds. I would really like a solution.
Maybe do a memory check.

Thanks for the response - but it's already disabled.
I've tried to disable and enable and disable it a few times with no change. I tried to read around and turned on "Prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser" as well, hearing that some people have tried that with results. I did not have any luck.
I tried it in safe mode for a few hours last night, and while it didn't crash in those few hours, it started to lag so heavily that I couldn't even type in a window without a 45+ second delay and frequently the yellow banner that says "A web page is slowing down your browser"
Have you checked out;
One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection {web link}

Click on the Windows icon 'Start' (bottom-left) and in the right column, bottom, click on Run. Enter in:
<center> (Skip the /64bit part if it's Windows 32-Bit.)</center>
...Wait until the green bar loads and disappears, then click "Save All Information".
Post back here in the Forum, just these information parts, under these three Headers:

Make sure your computer is not too 'LOW' on disk-remaining space. This will be a major performance problem if your remaining disk space is TOO LOW!
Example: At the moment, I have 37% space free. If you're way under 25%, then you're probably running into performance/Memory issues.
Windows-7 and Programs like to have plenty of free-disk 'breathing' room. I recently cleared over 75 Gigs worth to get me to about 37% of free disk space.
Perhaps you may wish to setup a ReadyBoost Flash Drive.
If you have a lot of Windows and Tabs and your FireFox Browser is set to Restore Session when you start-up FF, the following will help with conserving some Memory:
Go to Options. Edit or Insert in the URL Box About:Config and go there. Set the following Values:
browser.newtabpage.enabled; false
browser.newtabpage.enhanced; false
browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand; true
This will preload only the last Tab you were parked on per browser window. The other Tabs from your Previous Session will load only when you click on them.
If you open a lot of browser windows, you can set the maximum 'remembered' browser windows higher than the default for your Restored Session. My max is set for 25:
<center>browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo; 25</center>
Finally, I did the following FireFox adjustments for my old 2010 computer with the Performance settings in Options as shown in the image attachment:
