Firefox crashes
Firefox crashes constantly. It slows down, black boxes appear on the screen blocking out information and then it quits. I have tried turning off hardware acceleration and that doesn't help. Pages like Google Maps reliably cause it to crash. I haven't updated my graphics driver, but I'm wondering if it can be anything else. I have a ton of crash reports available.

The appearance plug-in for Groovy Blue appears to have been the problem. I updated the plug in and haven't had an issue since. Thanks for the reminder to check all plug-ins.

Do you have any other computer issues or ONLY with Firefox?
Only Firefox. It's not well supported by my company (that's the difficulty in updating the graphics card), but I don't like other browsers. Chrome works fine.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>

I may have solved the problem disabling my appearance extension. So far I haven't been able to replicate the problem with that extension disabled and my add-ons enabled.
What appearance extension were you using? Try to contact its support/creator.
Signature: nsXPCWrappedJS::nsXPCWrappedJS
The crash report flagged these programs;
insyncse.dll = Druva Software = inSync com server
privman32.dll = PowerBroker Desktops = BeyondTrust Software
sysfer.dll = Symantec CMC Firewall

That was very good work. Well done.
