Firefox crashes

My Firefox browser crashes constantly without warning. Sometimes I get a message about high CPU or RAM but that makes no sense because the message appears before I haven't even opened any pages. The regularity with which it freezes, hangs, and crashes has become a nuisance factor. I've tried everything; even had my antivirus provider run tests and adjust some plugins. If there are plugins that need to be removed, please advice. I need help fixing this problem. Thank you!

I have a similar issue with FF 27.0.1 for windows 7. It only seems to max my ram/cpu/crash on sites that use flash or javascript(mostly Facebook causes this for me), and still happens in safemode with all addons and plugins disabled. As of current im pretty much stuck using Firefox for Linux, which isn't experiencing these issues.
