Firefox crashes very frequently
I've been using another browser (Opera) for some time now, and recently switched back to firefox. However, firefox is crashing constantly (I'm counting in excess of 30 crashes over a period of 4 days). It can't (AFAIK) be traced to any specific web page or activity, it even happens when no activity is performed whatsoever (no clicking, scrolling etc).

Hmm, this solution solved a similar question a while back
Does it still crash in Safe Mode?
You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
- Windows/Mac: Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
- Linux: Run firefox -safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole
If it doesn't, then set javascript.options.baselinejit to false in about:config:
- Navigate to about:config in your Address Bar
- Press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to proceed
- Search for javascript.options.baselinejit and set it to false by right clicking the pref and selecting Toggle.
- Restart Firefox and see if it works properly.

That seems to have done the trick - so far no new crashes. Thanks!
Unfortunately, the solution turned out to be merely temporary. Crashes have returned, gradually increasing in frequency (with 10 crashes so far today)

Your crashes are all over the place. I can't pinpoint an exact cause for the crashes. Since this is a solved thread, you need to create a new thread since your crashes are not the same as in your original post. Please create a new thread using the /questions/new link. Thanks!
Your most recent crash bug still needs the steps to reproduce thIs: I will add this thread to the bug, but if you have any other information on how this crash is reproduced please comment on the bug.
