Firefox keeps crashing in the middle of YouTube videos. Urgent help now!

I'm right now on an alternative computer tower, and whenever I play any YouTube video, it just crashes. Mozilla Crash Reporter just opens up. I need help.

hi sabbath99, thanks for providing your crash ids - this kind of crash was triggered by a cpu bug, but firefox has a workaround for this, which will be introduced in firefox 50. firefox 50 is scheduled to be released this tuesday, or you can download it right now as beta version: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/ afterwards you should no longer experience the issue.
