why does firefox keep shutting down constantly?
Every time that I open up firefox after a few minutes it gives me an error message box wanting me to send an error report and gives me the option to close it or restart it. No matter how many times I close or restart it still shuts down on me every few minutes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and have checked for viruses and nothing works.

This is due to your graphics card. Try disabling Hardware Acceleration in FirefoxTurning off hardware acceleration
There is a problem on Windows 8 with Firefox 19 and AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphic display cards.
This issue is currently being investigated in bug 830531.
- bug 830531 - [Win8] crash in XPC_WN_Helper_NewResolve mainly with AMD Radeon HD 6290/6310/6320/7290/7310/7340
If you have one of those display cards then best is to stay with or downgrade to Firefox 18.0.2 for now.
These are my items on my crash report that you suggested. Thanks, cswen
