Hi apeavionics,

Sorry not sure the exact reason but if you try in safe mode and with all plugins disabled and then paste in another 3 or 4 Crash IDs maybe that will help (It could even prevent the crashes).

  1. Try Firefox in safe mode,and with all plugns disabled. See:
    Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode
    Disable or remove Add-ons_how-to-disable-plugins
  2. If that fails to help try again from safe mode but this time with a new additional clean profile.
    Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles_creating-a-profile
  3. Please post back with how you get on. If crashes continue please paste another 3 or 4 crash report IDs in to your reply.
    • Please confirm (or otherwise) that the Crash IDs were from safe mode and with plugins disabled.

This looks like a problem with the phishing protection database (mozilla::safebrowsing).

You can try to delete (or rename) the safebrowsing folder in the parent location of the disk cache.
You can find the location of the disk cache on the about:cache page, open this page via the location bar, and go up one level (i.e. remove the trailing Cache part).
