Firefox crashes
I keep getting the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" pop-up. After trying all of the recommended fixes, including re-installing Firefox, I still get this pop-up...not sure if it's just me.

What's your computer system and Firefox version?
Do you get the crash report as soon as Firefox starts?
