Firefox crashes
Both Firefox and Chrome crash after being opened for any length of time. Sometimes when I am using it and sometimes when it is minimized. There are no messages displayed when this happens it just closes. IE is the only browser that does not ever crash. I have Firefox set as the default browser. This just started about 3 weeks ago before that it never happened. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still happens. I reset to defaults and no change.

More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
It is possible that Firefox uses to much memory and crashes because of out-of-memory (OOM) issues.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
