Firefox 32.0.3 keeps crashing every few minutes - how do I fix this?

I'm running Mozilla firefox 32.0.3 (most updated version) on a desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. During the past few weeks, firefox has been running slow and crashing every 5 minutes (literally, not an exaggeration). I already reset my browser to the default settings but that did not solve the issue. What can be causing the problem?

Chosen solution

the crash report you've submitted indicates that you have a ATI Radeon 4200 HD card though with an outdated driver present.

That is the most recent one. When I went to the crash page, I saw that almost none of my crashes were reported, since there is literally a crash every few minutes.

hey, unfortunately that was just a hang of the adobe flash plugin that probably won't be connected to the other crashes.

one thing you could try is to update the graphics driver on your system: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows%207%20-%2064

My desktop has integrated graphics, no dedicated graphics card. I already downloaded the latest drivers for it a while back from the motherboard website.

The Radeon 4200 is inegrated into the motherboard, but I'm in the process of downloading the driver you listed right now. It will be finished downloading in about 20 minutes. I will let you know if the issue persists or if it keeps going. If the issue persists would it be helpful if I took a few screenshots of my desktop?

The driver update solved the issue, thanks.

I have the same problem. I'm on Windows 8 on a Lenovo ultrabook. Here is my crash report: bp-d88b1489-9f4b-4f61-812c-c9eef2141013
