Firefox crashes on many different websites
Firefox couldnt play some Youtube video at first. Then it crashes randomly while browsing different websites. Here is my latest crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/5bf3336f-6c84-426b-8bd0-f47ae0190228
I've tried to reinstalled Firefox many times but nothing works. Tried Safemode but it didnt help either :( .

hi LNSWE, unfortunately this kind of issue is a problem for users of windows N editions after the update to windows 10 1809 & installing the media feature pack.
this would be a workaround to avoid the tab crashes: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named media.wmf.vp9.enabled. double-click it and change its value to false, then restart firefox once.
