Firefox crashes on Mac Constantly

Firefox keeps crashing, regardless of whether or not it is in safe mode. If I simply start trying to interact with a web page or visit another link, it will crash. However, this does not happen if I do nothing and leave it there. I have tried reseting FF, to no avail. I could not get the crash report directly from FF, as it would crash before I got the chance.'

Also, this problem seem to coincide with Google Chrome displaying garbled text, though this is not a issue in Firefox. Any help is appreciated.

Try to do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:


Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.


Try to reset Firefox.

Reset creates a new profile and tries to import some settings from the old profile leaving the old profile intact.
