I routinely keep about 3-4 tabs open and when I click to open a new tab with a specific page, whether it's a link from a Google search, Pandora, or a link to another site, Firefox keeps crashing (though Google seems to open fine every time). I have version 37.0.2.

Thank you user293. I tried various suggestions on there and none seemed to work although deleting my cache and cookies helped temporarily. Then I realized I hadn't turned my computer off in days, I powered it down for the night and everything seems to be working fine now (I feel like a perfect idiot, trust me). Thanks again.
