Everything I have software wise is up to date. I usually have multiple tabs open (Facebook, Twitter, plus various other windows). Some times it crashes when clicking on a link in twitter or in Facebook. Some times it crashes after I open a new tab and start to type an address to go to. Sometimes it crashes while I am typing on a page. Sometimes it crashes when I am not doing anything)

This is a problem with your IdVault addon. You will need to go to "about:addons" and remove IdVault. If you can't remove it without firefox crashing, try using Safe Mode.

I went to about:addons, but I do not see IdVault
