Since today, Firefox has been crashing to desktop with no error message, just a CTD. Firefox does not generate crash reports for this (no relevant ones in about:crashes).

Any idea why firefox is not generating crash reports or how to make it generate crash reports? I do have crash reports turned on in options.

The crashes occur randomly and even when i have firefox idle and not using anything. I was using Firefox 55 beta when it started, tried updating to 56 beta, no luck.

These crashes are exactly the same ones as i experienced when i updated to Firefox 54 a while back, and stopped when I downgraded to Firefox 52 ESR. CTDs with no error message and no crash report generated.

Please dont tell me to test on a new profile, im trying to get firefox to generate a crash report with this profile.

I have already set firefox to use my integrated card so not sure why a nvidia .dll would be involved. And GPU-Z confirms that firefox isnt using my nvidia card at all.
