Firefox keeps crashing, no idea why.

So I recently switched from Opera to Firefox because they had a horrible updated that stripped all the features I loved. Anyways, the first week or so after using firefox it worked fine and never crashed, now recently it crashes almost every 30 minutes or so. I get a crash report asking me if I want to restart. I have no idea why it keeps crashing and I have tried closing all my tabs (I usually have about 6-7 open at all times), but the problem is still there. If you need any information ask and I'll give it. Thanks!

When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment. You can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "Firefox Crashes" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.



Thats whats in the crash report after it crashes. I always check the submit to mozilla checkbox when it crashes but that doesn't help me solve it.

hello, due to the wide range of error signatures, i would speculate that your memory hardware might be involved in the issue (one crash even references out-of-memory even though the system resources showed only 70% was used). can you test the integrity of your RAM with a tool like www.memtest.org?
