Firefox freezes several times a day and needs to be forced closed and restarted. It seems to happen when I am using Gmail, especially when I am replying to an email.

I have the most recent version of Firefox and have gone through all of the steps here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-troubleshoot-prevent-and-get-help

I don't think there are always crash reports submitted when this happens because I am often forcing Firefox to close on my own. However, it does look like there is one crash report from today: bp-5da62455-ef1f-4ac9-adeb-870012160901
