Firefox crashes

more options

Firefox crashes constantly! I've completely deleted it and reinstalled the latest and the greatest version. I've removed flash, thinking it was that, and reinstalled that program as well. No dice. Firefox still constantly crashes. I love Firefox but I can't stand having to force quit and restart many times during the day. Please help!

bp-a46ce9ed-93ec-430d-8d27-4dd942151124 is "EMPTY: no crashing thread identified" so unactionable.

bp-0c77698b-3d53-4bbd-81cb-2ce2a2151112 seems to be bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192823

bp-a7dae2f2-5280-4006-b332-1ada02151022 and bp-f44bf411-39a7-44da-bfab-d73942151020 related crashes are all reports for 41 so it seems like it has been fixed already.

Please click any reports that do not start with bp- and are more recent than 11/03/15 so they're submitted then post the resulting bp- links here.

Hmm, now you said that you have to force quit Firefox. That's different from a crash, and the crash reporter may not be recording data on what caused Firefox to freeze.
