Sometimes only one tab crashes but often firefox crashes completely. At times it will take the computer down with it and require a reboot. Continues to crash in safe mode. Have refreshed firefox, removed and downloaded fresh version, and followed troubleshooting steps. \\Windows 10 8 gb ram Norton 360
