Interesting.  Are you running the Gnome or KDE desktop manager (or something
else)?  I'm running KDE.  My own configuration is
    4-core true Intel processor
    8 Gb RAM
    Fedora-25 up to date
    KDE-5.8.6
    Firefox-52.0.2-2.fc25

Firefox has problems with the system and with KDE's Plasma desktop.  If I open
too many tabs in Firefox, more than about 20, Firefox becomes extremely slow. 
Frequently when I quit Firefox plasma-workspace crashes.  Also it appears that
the X-Server has been crashing, though it's difficult to tell exactly what has
happened because without the X-Server the system is not accessible, so it could
be any kind of system crash; it appears from the lights and log that some system
activity continues, so I suspect the X-Server.

I have not.  Right now I'm too lazy to put in the time (days) to compare
stability of jonrysh (me) against phred (fictitious user).

My Firefox crashes are automatically sent to Firefox development.  The link
advises users of the bulletin board to also post their crashes there.
