I've been trying to figure out why Firefox keeps crashing. It happens when I try to download/save anything in firefox and the plugin container crashes. I have gone through a couple updates that didn't help, reinstalling and refreshing firefox to it original settings and nothing helps. I have read many articles and help questions and have tried a number of things but nothing has made a differences.

Latest crash info: Description: 

 A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.
