When this happens, does Firefox display a small dialog allowing you to send crash information to Mozilla? If so, you can share the technical details of the crashes with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution.

In the following support article, the last section has the steps to open the about:crashes page and find the crash IDs. Then you can copy and paste those into a reply here.
