Whenever i try to load some livestreaming websites firefox will stop responding then just crash. In the process list firefox always sits at 25% cpu when crashing and plugin-container.exe shows up. This is only a recent problem that started between 1-2 weeks ago. I tried uninstalling and re-installing my graphics card driver, i have tried uninstalling and re-installing adobe flash player and i have tried refreshing firefox but nothing has helped. There are no recent crash reports in about:crashes to share.

I would like to add that this does not always happen. Almost always with twitch and a few other streaming services have this problem. If the twitch player is embedded it appears to work fine.
