In just the few hours since updating to 29.0.1 Firefox has crashed at least 3-times-extremely rare before
random crashes-while using Firefox 29.0.1. Sometimes screen flashes ALL black first... Addons:
NoScript AdBlock+ TabMixPlus HTTPS Everywhere
Chosen solution
I had the same problem. After much jumping through hoops, I disabled HTTPS Everywhere and it solved the problem. After a few days I enabled it, and the crashes started again. Disabled it, crashes stopped. Wish FF would fix the glitch.

Can you give me your crash reports?
- Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
- Copy the 5 most recent Report IDs that start with bp- and paste them into your response here.
The only crash reports listed are from months ago-none from after the 29.0.1 update.
Here's a list of all the Flash crashes on OSX Mavericks 10.9.3, Firefox 29.0.1 and Flash 13.0.0.214. As you can see, this is happening WAY too frequently.

Try disabling Hardware Acceleration.
- Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
- Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
- Click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
- Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.
The image "fpSettings1.PNG" does not exist.
- Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
- Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
- Restart Firefox.
This Flash Player Help - Display Settings page has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

That's actually a great suggestion!

Please try disabling Hardware Acceleration in Flash using the steps above, and if that doesn't work, try to disable HTTPS Everywhere from Firefox.
- Go to The image "new fx menu" does not exist. > Add-ons > Extensions (Firefox 29)
- Go to the Firefox button > Add-ons > Extensions (using Classic Theme Restorer or Firefox 28 and below)
Note: Firefox may need to be restarted to complete the disabling of HTTPS Everywhere.
