Chosen solution

Might have fixed this issue myself.

If Anyone has the same issue-try what i did which is Untick "Use Recommended performance settings" and Untick "Use hardware acceleration when available".

since disabling both,it has fixed it-able to scroll through Facebook/Reddit with no crashes

added screenshot for reference :)

Facebook.com seems to be the culprit upon freezing the Firefox window when scrolling through the Feed.
