Whenever I play a video on Firefox, it eventually crashes the browser

more options

So, whenever I play a video on Firefox, it seems to crash my browser.

I'm not sure what's going on. I disabled most of the unwanted addons and plug-ins on the browser, and it's still not solving anything. I've sent so many crash reports to Firefox, I've lost count.

Any help on what's going on? Strangely, I have no issues with YouTube. I'm beginning to think that the problem is HTML5, since I usually have problems with those.

Bump. Still having trouble with the browser crashing even after all that. This time it happened while browsing Facebook.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

Will try this out and see how it works. Thanks!
