Firefox keeps crashing very randomly at times, most of the time when i open a new page. Finally got a crash report today, but im not 100% sure its the actual thing thats happening to me, but it did occur when opening a new page. This started about 2 weeks ago out of the blue, and it's still happening, at times it closes it self, i open Firefox back up, and it closes itself again. Yet again, im not totally sure if its just closing itself, or crashing without any crash report. Sometimes i get the Restore session button, sometimes it just opens the pages.

I have disabled hardware acceleration, but i have no real clue what else to do, since that didnt really work. I can add the recent crash report if needed.
