Firefox and Chrome crash eachother
I realize this may not necessarily be a topic for this forum, but It's an ongoing problem for me involving Firefox, so if I can at least be pointed in a direction for solutions I would appreciate it.
I avoid Chrome whenever possible, but there are times when I must use it, like today when I had to compare a problematic website behavior.
My experience for quite a while now has been when Firefox and Chrome are both open at the same time, even if there is no activity for a period of time, they both crash. Cashing rarely occurs for either when they stand alone. That's what happened today when I returned to my device to see Firefox closed and Chrome frozen.
I have reliability monitor crash reports from today on Chrome and dwm.exe. (Desktop Window Manager), but the Chrome report is 40 minutes after Desktop Window Manager, so I don't know if they are related, but Chrome has 4 crash reports since 9/4 with no other accompanying dwm.exe reports on those dates. but the coincidence is worth considering to eliminate it as a factor.
I have a number of cbs.log entries during the time of the dwm.exe report, but nothing for Chrome, occured 40 minutes later.

Am I really the only one who has experienced this? Firefox just crashed twice in the matter of a few minutes, becauseIi forgot i had left Chrome open. That's the only time Firefox crashes.
Please, at least point me in a direction where I can get help?
