Every time a website initializes WebRTC capabilities, it inevitably leads to a complete firefox crash. I have tried using different websites (roll20.net as well as appr.tc) and the problem is the same. I have also tried all of the steps mentionned in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems and the best I have achieved is now containing the crash to a tab crash, not a firefox crash. I am running Firefox 54.0.1 (x64) on Windows 10 the webcam used is a Logitech C920.

Hmm oddly enough there are no crash reports generated by those crash. However, and I tried it once again to be sure, I get redirected to the page saying "oops this tab has crashed" (or something along those lines since my browser locale is french)

Interesting read however I cannot disable WebRTC as I need it for voice & video chat within Roll 20. After turning off this setting I confirm though that the crashes are gone, however I cannot receive or send voice/video streams.
