I stepped away for a bit, and when I came back, both my monitors had stopped for a bit (not sleep or screensaver) and Firefox had crashed. Above is the crash report. I'm not sure what happened.

  • Firefox 41.0.1 Crash Report [@ UMDevice::CreateShaderResourceView(D3D10DDI_HDEVICE, D3D11DDIARG_CREATESHADERRESOURCEVIEW const*, D3D10DDI_HSHADERRESOURCEVIEW, D3D10DDI_HRTSHADERRESOURCEVIEW) ]

Try to disable D3D warp by setting layers.d3d11.disable-warp to true on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.


You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

May I ask what disable-warp actually means?

Alright, I've turned off warp, set my theme to default and turned off hardware acceleration. My graphics card is fine and up to date. I'll probably end up having to wait a while and see if it occurs again.
