Firefox crashes
Firefox crashes very often 10-12 times a day. Very often I am told we need to restore lost data. It seems to happen most often when scrolling up/down a page using the bar on the far right of the page. Toshiba Satellite, Win 10, latest updates.

thank you, please try the following to workaround those crashes: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva. double-click it and change its value to false.

Changing that parameter to FALSE seems to have fixed the problem. Firefox running great once again. Thanks much.
