After updating windows 10 and had the latest Firefox, from time to time my PC will be running "tediously" making loud whizzing noise. And after 10-20min of using Firefox, my PC will be restarted. It is fine if I'm using chrome. Anyone have any solution? I tried refresh and even reinstalling but problem still persists.

What's your computer system and Firefox version?

What noise are you talking about? Disk drive, fan . . . . .
