Firefox crashes
How do I provide additional information about a Firefox crash?
The latest version of Firefox has crashed several times on me. I haven't included the fact that I use a custom program that has a "glitch" in it. The custom program will consume all of my hard drive and freezes the computer for a while.

There's different reasons for those crash reports. One is due to Flash (probably need to update that as it's an old version. See if that helps before troubleshooting Flash), one has an EMPTY signature meaning no data was submitted through the crash reports so that's basically useless, and the other is regarding graphics. You could try the following:
- Update Flash to the latest version at get.adobe.com/flashplayer
- Try to disable Firefox's built-in hardware acceleration

Looks like OOM (Out Of Memory) crashing.
