  <p>If the emulator is started while FireFox v 67.0 is running then it crashes immediately.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What I've Tried</strong>
  I can start an emulator image running x86 Nougat or Marshmallow with no problem.</p>
  
  <p>Here are the errors from android studio:</p>
  
  <pre><code>5:42 PM Emulator: Fatal: createDIB: CreateDIBSection failed (300x300, format: 6) ((null):0, (null))
  
  5:42 PM Emulator: Process finished with exit code -1073740286 (0xC0000602)
  
  5:43 PM Emulator: terminate called without an active exception
  
  5:44 PM Emulator: Warning: QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread ((null):0, (null))
  
  5:44 PM Emulator: Process finished with exit code 3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If FireFox isn't running then when the emulator starts it gives this error (keep in mind this is from a fresh image, never been started before).</p>

  <p>If I do anything on the phone then I get a black screen on the emulator.<br>
  If I start the image again then the emulator screen is black/blank and I see the following message in Android Studio</p>

  <p>But there is no message on the emulator.</p>
