Firefox crashes report indicates multiple crashes yet firefox does not seem to be crashing
I have attached a screen shot below, but lately, it seems every time I start Firefox (developer edition), firefox reports that there a x number of crash reports that have not been submitted, etc. Not sure what is going on, but firefox does not appear to be crashing - at least while I using it. Don't know if it is crashing when starting and just keeps restarting until it no longer crashes on start or what.
For example in the screen shot you will see that there are several crashes on the 16th at the same time - all at 6:30am. that was probably when I started firefox that day. Firefox never indicated it crashed when it was started. It's been doing that a lot lately. Also, I am now getting the message that a srcipt on a page is slowing down firefox - I randomly get this message and it doesn't seem to align with a particular website/page. Used to I could open up lots of tabs (20-30) and it just "hummed" along. Now if I open up 6 or 7 tabs, I start getting the message about a script slowing down firefox. Doesn't seem to be any direct relation to a particular website/page, but it does seem to complain about the script slowing down the browser if I have a tab that has a video playing. The flash container also seems to take a lot of resources (just looking at the task manager.
I'm using windows 10 on a dell laptop with an intel I7 and 8 gig of ram. Sometime back (several months) Firefox seemed to just work no matter. Now it seems to be very unstable/buggy.

hi, these may be "shutdown crashes" of multiprocess tabs - there is no other user interface to submit such kind of "crashes" (which aren't even obvious to a user as you said), so this infobar is currently used in pre-release versions to submit these "crashes" so that mozilla can get a better sense of their impact and address them. in future this process will be made less painful: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1301722
