This is quite frustrating. even as I am typing this, about 3 crashes have occurred. Firefox has always been my favorite browser because of its security and privacy mostly. However since updating to 29, which I did just 3 minutes ago, it has been unbearable. It has been crashing every 3 minutes on average.

Please, what is the solution to this? I want to enjoy my old Firefox back.

Thank you

Pardon me for quick bump, but this is absolutely getting ridiculous. I have never had anything like this before...

I found another sure cause of this.

Basically if I try to save a picture, as soon as I click on "Save picture as", it crashes. I am 100% sure about this.

Hi there. If you need help with Firefox, this is the right place.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode
While you are in safe mode;
Firefox Options > Advanced > General.
Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.
