thanks, please update firefox to the latest version first and see if the crashes continue - please provicde new crash report ids in this case...

Update Firefox to the latest release

When I follow the steps outlined in the linked article it says Firefox is up to date already.

The crash reports are from a Firefox 37.0.1 version as youcan see if you click the links.

• Firefox 37.0.1 Crash Report [@ OOM | large | mozalloc_abort | mozalloc_handle_oom | moz_xmalloc | nsTArray_base<T>::EnsureCapacity | mozilla::safebrowsing::HashStore::WriteAddPrefixes ]

You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (50.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:

• https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
• https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/notes/

I updated Firefox as per cor-el's provided link, however now when I'm on websites large portions of the page, if not all the page, will turn black and become unresponsive. In fact, this very page failed to load, so I'm typing this up on Chrome. As well, Youtube videos tend to freeze and crash in a similar manner to before when I did not update Firefox. On top of this, Firefox continues to freeze, albeit without the crashes and for not as long as before. Is there anything else I can try or am I stuck to using Chrome and Internet Explorer? Thanks.

could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...
