The program freezes, but does not recognize that it has crashed, so does not create a report. IE runs OK.

See "Hang at exit":


Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
