I do have a lot of tabs open often - variety of web pages frequently playing video content of this browser

I understand that these crashes are happening when various videos playing on many tabs are opened in Firefox. I am happy to help.
The first two crashes are crashing in the jit, javascript compiler and also have two bugs associated with them.
I might first try disabling the plugins one at a time to see which one might be causing a crash if the videos are the suspected cause of crash. I might second try reopening the session in Safe Mode: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode
If it does not crash in Safe Mode, it could be an add on or hardware acceleration causing the crash.
Thank You Guigs, U say the 1st 2 crash reports are jit, javascript related - is that reference to report id's starting with bp- ? over the last year about3/4 of the crashes were bp- reports.... ...& will do on the 'safe mode' to test add-ons Thanks again
Note that only the first report is from Firefox 44, the other two are from Firefox 43. That first report is about memory cleanup (garbage collection) and such crashes are usually not easy to diagnose. Could related to drawing widgets or other elements.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
