I just installed Firefox onto my new computer, and with no add-ons or extensions being used, it keeps crashing practically every 15 minutes or so. Attached is the list of all the crashes.

Updating my graphics card drivers and then disabling hardware acceleration seems to have fixed the problem. Will update if there are any more crashes.

There was another crash today, with hardware acceleration still turned off.
