Tabs randomly crashing

Some tabs crash at random. Cannot reproduce at will. Started happening ever since I've upgraded to a Ryzen 3600 CPU. RAM with the XMP profile passes the entire 2 hour-long 4 -pass Memtest86 without errors.

The crashes happen on all versions of stable Firefox and on Firefox Developer's Edition. They also occur if there are <10 tabs open as well as 100 tabs open. I have 5-6 very common extensions on FF stable (Bitwarden, Gesturefy, uBlock Origin, Facebook Container, Open Tabs Next to Current, Wikiwand, and the Stream Detector), but not a single extension installed on FF DE and still it crashes too.

Some of many crash logs: bp-87b13e5c-1bc5-4f68-864b-95d6b0210227 bp-1751032b-df93-404e-822f-c13020210227 bp-e7840772-f24e-439b-b56b-ca8c50210227 bp-629bbf6d-b007-4b4a-8b76-b2d5e0210227 bp-dd9c0c07-61bf-44a4-b5a6-9f4170210227 bp-07cf5b11-39c5-4802-a448-7e6920210227 bp-97139c27-1633-4bab-a876-1bc030210227

These are all just from today, and these are not even all of today's crashes.

System details: AMD Ryzen 3600 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM (XMP profile 2) MBO MSI B450 Tomahawk (latest Beta Bios v7C02v1H3 - happened also with stable BIOS, so I put the latest BIOS on if there are possible BIOS<-->RAM problems but still crashes remain) Nvidia GTX 1070Ti (driver v461.72) Windows 10 Pro 20H2 v19042.804

Any idea what's causing this?

Do you have any recent crash reports? Your Details shows you are using Firefox 87.0b3 which is a Beta. Have you tried the normal Firefox? Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}

The 87.0b3 reports are from Firefox Developer Edition. These are from normal FF. bp-62d68434-1575-4d6b-9f6a-21e050210227 bp-6db5087e-fb13-4db5-adb9-f66800210227

But I think I may have figured out the problem. My Windows page file size was set to Custom at a very small value of 2934MB. So I think I might have been running out of virtual memory cause I even had some Windows blue screens today. I have now set those page size values to 1.5x and 3x RAM (so 24,000MB and 48,000MBs respectively) and the issue seems gone. Or do you maybe see something else in there that would point to the problem maker?
