thank you, those crashes are spread over quite an amount of different signatures which makes it a bit hard to give specific advice. due to the range of error signatures, i would speculate that your hardware might be involved in the issue. can you test the integrity of your RAM with a tool like [www.memtest.org]? please also try to keep hardware acceleration disabled in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
ok....soooo HW acceleration looks like point of failure...for now. But I still have few (much more less) FF crash. Memtest found 1 error at RAM.
Please post NEW crash reports.
The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

each error in memory is probably already one too much unfortunately. so if you have the possibility to switch out the memory bank against a new one, this would most likely be beneficial stability-wise...
