Frankly I've had enough of Firefox constantly crashing. Today I got at least 5 crashes within half an hour, that's unacceptable. I've had this problem for the longest time, and while sometimes I get no crashes, they are still very frequent and I cannot figure out the causes. I've posted some error logs, perhaps someone can help me figure out why this is happening.
