Firefox crashes
It doesn't matter what I'm doing, Firefox crashes. I did not have this problem before your latest update a couple of days ago. This is so aggravating I'm ready to find another browser. I can't read any article in my newsfeed without it crashing and I was looking at my mail on Google + and it crashed three times until I gave up. Please fix this. The latest update is terrible. Also, the icons at the time for home, download, printer, etc., are so light, you can barely see them. This last update was terrible. Please fix it!!! Firefox is definitely broken!!!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
While still in Safe Mode;
In the address bar, 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 resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

Thank you for your responses and help. I have tried one of the suggestions, I am waiting to see if it has worked since the crash doesn't happen every time, just most of the time and so far I'm good. Thank you all.
If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that start with "bp-".
- bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
You can find the report ID of recent crash reports "on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page".
- click the "All Crash Reports" button on this page to open the about:crashes page and see all crash reports.
Alternatively you can open about:crashes via the location/address bar.
