Specific you tube music live stream. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHW1oY26kxQ

This live stream crashes in FF always. Other similar types of live streams work just fine. This specific live stream works just fine in all other browsers. I have tested with add ons, without add ons, on windows, on Mac and they all crash on this specif live stream.

At this point I have no idea how to further try and resolve this besides use Chrome.

I had no problem with the link.

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 recent 7 - 10 Submitted crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

I should clarify a bit more. The browser and tab do not Crash. The video specifically crashes, screen shot added. This can occur within seconds, minutes, or hours of the video running. It often occurs within minutes for me. Again this issue only occurs in Firefox and not in other browsers.
