Yesterday, Firefox installed an update & now it keeps crashing repeatedly.
Yesterday, Firefox automatically updated to 19.0, which as I have read has compatibility issues with Windows 8. Now, every time I open a new tab, Firefox crashes. I have already changed the settings so that I can choose to update or not, but that of course does not uninstall the most recent update. I tried the links provided in other threads with a supposed download for Firefox 18.02, but these did not load. I do not have a backup. Is there another way to uninstall the update/reinstall Firefox 18.02?

If you have one of those display cards then best is to stay with or downgrade to Firefox 18.0.2 for now.

Ok, this is a bug with your graphics card, Does disabling Hardware acceleration help? Turning off hardware acceleration
Perfect fix - thank you!
The fix worked for at least an hour. I'm not sure if it was coincidence or not. When I tried it again this afternoon though, the same thing started happening. Crash report IDs listed below:
