hi, those crashes apear to be happening in the javascript engine persistently - are you overclocking your device? if so please try removing any tools around that for a while and see if the crashes continue. you could also try removing displayfusion for a while since it is hooking into the firefox process and might have a negative impact there...

I don't overclock. Disabling display fusion surprisingly hasn't caused any issues so far. I'll get back to you in a day or two(Sometiems this stops happening for quite some time) if it doesnt crash for a day or two straight I will assume display fusion is causing the issue. Thank you so much! I'll mark this resolved in a day or two if theres no issues

EDIT: Still crashes

your firefox version is 47.0.1 try updating it to 48.0.0 and also remove any coming program related to the javascript or disabling the javascript

try this url for more support https://www.webex.co.in/no-javascript/nojavascript-firefox.html

I sort of can't live without javascript....so is there anything else I can do? I don't know what incoming programs I have that are related to javascript

The JIT compiler helps speed JavaScript processing on script-heavy sites like Gmail and other web applications. You can still use JavaScript in interpreted mode even if you disable JIT. In fact, Firefox's Safe Mode does that automatically, so you could try that as a test.

In Safe Mode, Firefox also temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.

If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.

If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

and OK the restart.

Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).

Any improvement?

If the crash is extremely intermittent, you may find the advertising burdensome in Safe Mode...

Safe Mode was the first thing I tried. It still crashed. It's in the title.

The first 8 reports are JIT crashes, so presumably those are not from Firefox's Safe Mode. The next three occurred 3.5 hours (8/18), 2.25 hours (8/16), and 8 minutes (8/15) into your session and do not appear to be JIT crashes. The following two are JIT crashes.

There's no obvious pattern in these three non-JIT crashes to me, and none appears to have been in Firefox's Safe Mode, since they all list your extensions. (That said, I doubt uBlock Origin and Reddit Enhancement Suite are causing these crashes.)

Can you point to specific Safe Mode crash reports or try again and see whether you get any new reports?

I think the reason philipp asked about overclocking was the module "GvKm.dll" which shows up in the crash reports, associated with GIGABYTE OC_GURU, which you might find here:

C:\Program Files\gigabyte\gigabyte oc_guru\gvkm.dll

I note this one is a near enough startup crash and is in safe mode

    Firefox 47.0 Crash Report [@ Abort | Already started??? | mozalloc_abort | NS_DebugBreak | gfxPlatform::Init ]

But most I looked at were not in safemode.

John99 posted one that wa safe mode. (THANK YOU!). Is there anything either of you can help me with to fix this. I really don't understand what's wrong.

Do I do something with that gigabyte thingy?

If you can disable it, disable it. I don't use Nvidia graphics, so I can't really guide you in detail. Sometimes graphics software shows up in the All Programs menu, sometimes in the Windows Control Panel, sometimes in the Display settings behind an "Advanced" button. ???
