Firefox 40.0.3 Crashes Constantly on Mac
Since upgrading to 40.0.3 on MacBook running Mac OS X 10.10.5, Firefox constantly crashes as it sleeps. I go away from my computer for an hour or so and come back to Firefox's "Well this i embarrassing...Crash". Here is log:

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>

As luck would have it after my post FF has not crashed. Maybe one of the extensions auto-updated and fixed the problem. Thanks.
Good to hear. But please post the last 7-10 reports just in case.
