more options

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Options/Preferences -> General: Performance
    remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
    "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.

more options

Hardware acceleration did nothing, along with disabling WebGL similarly did nothing. Im not even getting crash reports for most crashes.

more options

It seems other web like applications are having issues as well, so Im going to assume its a hardware issue.

EDIT: Memtest returned all clear, no clue what else to do at this point IE Works fine as well
