All of a sudden the content of all open tabs disappears and I get a "loading" animation on a white background. I can only fix it by restarting Firefox

It happens around once a day. If I wait there's a small chance that content will appear again. I haven't noticed any pattern. It might start when I switch to a tab I've just opened. Then all other tabs' content disappears and the loading animation appears.

Crash Reason EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT snxhk64.dll@0xa023

Update Video Card Drivers You have some errors https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

Please : go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check (put a tick in the box) the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.

Monitor in Task Manager. Should stay below 2 gigs. If excessive then do below and monitor and change if need to...Test and go up again , go back down, it will eventually get a zone you and it can live with.

Go to the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
