Repeated FF crashes beginning in Mid-April 2015

Since FF 37.0.x came out in Mid-April 2015, it crashes just about every time I use it.

I had sent repeated crash reports to Mozilla with NO solutions.

This is happening on a W/8.1 system and a W/Vista Home Premium system.

It seems that FF stays in memory as a process and doesn't always shut down quickly when I exit.

I read one other submission and that indicated a McAfee Site Advisor problem--but I do not have that installed as a program or a plugin.
