Firefox crashes often, like four or five times a day. If crash frequency seems to be decreasing, it's just because I switch to Safari or Opera. I miss firefox a lot. I assume that you have access to crash reports. The only add-ons active are OpenH264 Video Codec and Shockwave Flash 10.0.r0. Many other add-ons are there, but are "never activate". Extension Dashlane is disabled. I don't seem to be doing anything unusual when it crashes. I also have an MBA with identical software, but Firefox is stable.

There are many crash reports prior to 7/13/15 without BP, but I don't know how to click and submit. Here are examples.

For the last five days, Firefox, at long last, has been crash-free. Did two things; sorry, don't know which one solved the problem.

First, went through all of my Mac applications and uninstalled the ones that I never use and some that I didn't even recognize. Used "Mac Remover" to delete them.

Second, used Mac Remover to completely uninstall Firefox. (Third time I have tried uninstalling Firefox, but the first using Mac Remover.)

Reinstalled Firefox and the problem is solved.
