Every time i try to search something in FF it just says Gah! Your tab just crashed!. Really annoying . i have disabled graphics hardware acceleration and uninstalled Adobe but problem hasn't fixed. Been having to use Chrome :( does anyone know how to fix this? Also my calculator and some other numbers just appear as ? in a box (uploaded pic of this too). could this mean the problem is with my MacBook?

Did you send in the crash report as the window asked?

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.

Are they part of Firefox, or are they other programs on your system? You should post a question on a Mac support forum.

They are other progams on my system . the calculator is the one in my notification bar.
