After the update a couple of days ago, Firefox started crashing more than once a day. I might just be using Facebook or something and it suddeny crashes... Maybe it has something to to with Java?

I watched your crash report, see this bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640904 And especially comment #31: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640904#c31 Try with Ant Video Downloader disabled. In addition, try with FF in safe mode. If crashes stop, one of your add-on is culprit.

Thank you very much! Apparently the crashes really had something to do with the "Ant Video Downloader" Add-On... Now Firefox has been working just fine..Do you know any other addon like that one for downloading videos ?
