Is GameBox something you've installed? People say it's bundled with spyware, which definitely can cause instability. See http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100421151338AAeQMKA
You should also disable the plugins you aren't sure you need. They could be outdated and cause stability and security problems and you don't really need most of them. You can do that in Tools -> Add-ons.
