What is Causing Firefox for Andriod Crashes on Almost Any Page?

I am using Samsung Galaxy S4 Andriod 4.2.2

Firefox used to work fine, then it updated (i think it was 3-4 updates ago this problem started happening) and ever since it crashes an almost any page. Sometimes I can load a page then be able to look at the page for a few seconds before it crashes, but most of the time it will crash before a page even gets a chance to load. I can't even look at the add-ons. I can load the first add on page with the search bar, but anything after that causes Firefox to go away (similar to pressing the home button to got to the phones home screen.) If i hold down the home button to show running apps, firefox is still running, but when I go back into firefox it takes me back to the main start screen of Firefox. When the issue happens it does not bring up a crash reporter, I have check about:crashes but there is nothing listed there. I have also tried reinstalling, and tried firefox beta. I have the same issue with both. Default Andriod browser works fine. I have also tried 4G and wifi connection but that didn't make a difference. Plz any help would be much appreciated. I LOVE firefox, but not when I can't even use it lol.

This is likely https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1099439 the only current solution is to upgrade to Android 4.4.

If you are reasonably technical we need to find out when this issue started.
