Why does Firefox abend regularly and how can I avoid it. I'm at latest version.

Since update recently to the latest version of Firefox, it seems to always crash at the most inopportune moments. I cannot find a pattern or any particular URL that this happens on; but it happens frequently.

These are the two most recent 09/22 and 09/21. However, I have a very long list of crashes which seem to occur about once a day or every two days. I can supply more, if needed.

Thank you for your assistance.
