Browser crashing repeatedly, even in troubleshooting mode

The page I was on randomly crashed earlier today, and now every time I try to open another webpage, it crashes within 1-5 seconds of when I try to open it. I have tried restarting Firefox and running it in troubleshooting mode, neither of which helped. My Firefox version is up-to-date, and I have never had this issue before; I'm also not getting the "crash reporter" dialogue so I don't have access to information about the crashes, even through the Finder library. I'm not sure what's going on?

Okay, so, I restarted my Mac and the problem has resolved itself, so I guess it's okay?

Let's hope so. But if you get another crash:

In the address box, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 Submitted crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

Please, Do not post a screenshot ! !
