Another Firefox (nightly at that) + noscript user here, running stretch/sid and not having any crashes. I don't have the beast of a machine that you do, so I usually have <20 tabs open at a time, but I also run them in Firefox Containers, which makes them a little more resource hungry.
I suggest figuring out the crash conditions and submitting bug reports to Mozilla to get them figured out. Ever since FF ~50 or so, it's been rock solid for me, and the containers to keep tracking cookies contained is wonderful.
I've been complaining about FF for about 5 years. I've had the machine about 6 .5 years and have enough ram so that if things were coded well I shouldn't have to worry about space requirements. I do tend to use a lot of tabs - - - -I've had well over 300 of them at once but lately I don't seem to even be able to get to 50 and with piles of ram - - - well that means that the confluence of the kernel, graphics drivers and FF - - - its a mess imo. I've tried reporting things quite a while ago but as the dev team just didn't seem to be interested and my system is a little out of the ordinary I've come to realize that its just a waste of time as the people responding are NOT the ones with knowledge of the coding and that's who needs to hear things but they don't seem to be interested. OH well - - - that's why I'm looking for an alternative but I'm loath to give ms google an easy look into my affairs! Thanks for the ideas. Dee
