My firefox crashes well I am viewing youtube videos & other video content I have uninstalled & reinstalled firefox & Firefox Developer Edition seems to last longer be for crashing, but a fresh install has not fixed the problem. What is required to let firefox play videos? To play youtube? I think I need to check all required plugins or programs out side of firefox that firefox needs. How I see the tab crash. 1. Go to youtube.com & log in to my account. 2. view any video. 3. well viewing the video the tab the video is in will crash (most times) 4. reload the tab & it will soon crash again. 5. sometimes firefox will out right close with no message. 6. if I keep trying to view to the end of the video by reloading the page, I eventually get a message saying "windows has encountered a critical error & must restart"

I am using windows 7 have firefox Developer edition 61.0b13 (32-bit) installed now, but I was using normal firefor when I first had this problem. The program may also crash will trying to view other types of videos, such a flash.

We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. Please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent Report IDs that start with bp- and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.

Note: If a recent Report ID does not start with bp- click on it to submit the report.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)
