I have 2 pc's in the household which are using Windows 8.1 Pro 32bit and using firefox 37.0.2. They both currently have add-ons but firefox still crashing either if they are enabled or disabled. This happens then there is only 2 or 3 tabs open at one time. And sometimes Norton Toolbar doesn't work either. I have contacted Norton themselves and they say that their Toolbar is working fine as they had no reports for any customers. I think this is a bug in the browser which needs to be fixed. Mozilla needs to find out why this happens and fix it.

Several of the crashes are from flash player. You can try disabling flash protected mode:

go to "about:config" in the address bar and paste "dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode" in the search box. Double-click on the result that appears to set it to true.
