Firefox crashes

Firefox sometimes goes blank when trying to do stuff like showing all downloads or trying to type in text boxes that try to suggest anything. Im on i3wm and its still happening even after system reinstall. When its happen i need to terminate firefox. The window stops and when i try to switch to different workspace and back its just goes blank and show my wallpaper with program outline but stuff like sound still work and it still play audio from yt video if i had one on when it crashes. From what ive seen it doesn that only on stuff that open some kind of menu or additional boxes because it never happened when typing into field like on forum but it happen pretty often on sites like youtube when it try to show me suggested stuff.

Re: Firefox crashes

Make sure you're up to date and have the latest libx11 1.8.3-3 which contains fixes for firefox crashes that read like what you're describing. Other than that symptoms also sound like xf86-video-intel, remove that if installed.
