Firefox sometimes crashes when seraching normal images on google image.
Firefox sometimes crashes when searching normal images on google and It always crashes when searching images of large size. It stops responding i.e display hangs while scrolling. While clicking on other tabs to activate only title bar status changes but display remains the same corrupted google images. It does not close itself. It started only after google has changed its image search page. I dont want to switch to classic image search.Kindly help.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
You can try disabling the "AVG Safe Search" extension (if you have it.)
1. Go to 'Tools'
2. Click 'Addons'
3. Go to the 'Extensions' tab
4. Find 'AVG Safe Search' and disable.
5. Restart FF and test Google image search.
