Firefox crashes with more than 3 tabs open
Every time I have more than 3 tabs open at a time firefox crashes, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with norton toolbar but I don't want to disable it. I have tried everything except recreating the problem in safe mode mainly do to the fact I wanted to know if a fix already existed for norton toolbar because I knew of compatibility issues in the past with firefox, if norton is not causing the problem I would have no other fix except to use another browser.

Chosen solution
I was doing some digging and it seems that Norton 360 has been discontinued,it will receive protection updates but not software which got me thinking "how old is norton toolbar ?",long story short I fixed my problem by updating my software to the new Norton Security and Moving my remaining days from 360 via Norton live chat,it boils down to software incompatibility between the old version of the tool bar and windows 8.1 seeing as how I didn't have this problem with windows 7,thanks for everyone's help
