Sometimes when I have 80 or more tabs open, the browser crashes. It would be nice if firefox could archive the other tabs or something untill clicked on to reserve resources. Anyone know of a way to do that or stop it from crashing like that? Please dont post obvious things like: buy more memory, upgrade pc, dont open so many tabs, etc. I am asking for direction into configuring firefox to be more efficient with its resources (i7, 16gb or ram)

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

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

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
