Firefox 30 constantly crashes, since update about 2 weeks ago.

Firefox kept crashing so constantly that, I couldn't even open the Crash reports without having them crash Firefox or change the state to not responding.

Here are my last 6+ crash reports - Crash Reports

For now, I have installed Firefox in a new location with a new profile, and it seems to work for now.

Would like to know, what causes these crashes so they can be fixed.

The most recent crash is reported as a different browser (Firefox 3.0.11) so I'm going to ignore that one.

The next two are Firefox 30 crashes that have the same signature, reported over 65,000 times in the past week.

When I review user comments in these crashes, the most common activity mentioned is interacting with a Norton add-on. Usually Norton is good about updating, but you may need to use LiveUpdate to get the latest version.

When I review the bugs linked to your reports, they generally reference graphics issues, perhaps an out-of-memory error relating to your graphics card driver. Currently it appears that you have disabled hardware acceleration, which is the standard workaround for graphics-related crashes, so I don't think there is an action item from these reports, or a clear explanation of the problem.
