Firefox constantly crashes

Firefox constantly crashes and it's getting worse. It seems to be more and more frequent. Also, before it crashes it often spends hours or longer hanging, lagging and using excess memory (often 1-1.5g of ram).

I've attached the last 3 crash details below (from about:crashes).

hello toponder, unfortunately the crash reports come back as empty & don't contain a hint on what is triggering the crashes. however you can still try to reset firefox which will hopefully also address the high RAM usage (this will keep your bookmarks & passwords) & to upgrade your graphics driver & plugins.
