Firefox periodically crashes

Long time Firefox user. In the past couple of weeks, Firefox has become "laggy", sometimes displaying "not responding" when attempting to navigate to a different open tab and ultimately crashing out.

I don't have the usual suspect extensions enabled so I'm not seeing what is causing this issue.

Since 18 Jan 2014, the following crash reports have been created:

hello fredfillis, those crashes all appear to happen when your system's RAM is nearly in full use, so there might be a memory leak in firefox.
