Firefox Crashes Upon Ending Session

Firefox continues to crash after every session ending when I close it out. I have an old computer with not a bunch of memory, but would that affect the closing of a session, and if so, why? I have the option selected to clear history when Firefox closes, as I don't want to have to try and remember to do this manually everytime I close a session. What is checked are all of the "History" options; the "Data" options are left alone.

Anyway, crash reports:

Not a huge issue for me, of course, but if I can stop the crashing, that would definitely be an aesthetic improvement.

A shutdownhang basically means something about the browser is not responding.


Basically, an OOM (Out Of Memory) means the system is having issues with the RAM.
