Firefox keeps closing without an Error message and sometimes doesn't save my tabs?
Firefox will randomly close and it doesn't give me an error message. It just closes and occasionally my tabs will be just fine or there is that page asking if I want to restore my previous session. It closed about 2 minutes ago and I am typing fast just in case it closes again soon. I have tried a ton of different options and none of them seemed to work. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, I rest firefox and nothing seemed to work. I really have no idea what to do.

Have you noticed any pattern?
Upgrade to Firefox 41.0.1
Please check for crash reports.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
While still in Safe Mode,
