Firefox crashes constantly, with no regard for the website I'm at, or the plugins or extensions I have enabled.
I have updated all of my plugins, disabled all Norton extensions, and gone so far as to restore my computer back to factory state, to make sure that none of my 3rd party software was causing a problem. Firefox still crashes constantly, no matter what site I'm on. It even triggers BSOD from time to time (this never happens when using IE or Chrome.)

I didn't know to keep the crash reports before I reformatted my computer. Since the reformat, I've only got two.

hello, this seems to be a crash that is appearing in firefox 19 on windows 8 with AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphics cards - firefox 19.0.1 has been released to fix this issue for affected systems: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/19.0.1/releasenotes/
I just double checked, and I'm running 19.0.1. I downloaded the latest version today, after I restored the computer, and still had the two crashes mentioned above.
the two crash reports mentioned above show version 19.0 though - you could also try downloading 19.0.1 directly from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/19.0.1/win32/ (choose the right folder for your language).
in case this still doesn't work you can also switch to the beta version of firefox 20 which is reportedly unaffected by this crash: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta/
