constant crashing, tried resetting firefox, uninstall/reinstall, safe mode, its always crashing. thought it was something malware, checked and got nothing back from my software. I think it could be a RAM problem since I only got 4gb but this never happened before so i dont know

Realized that gmail and youtube playing in the background was the main cause for the constant crashing. I've since upgraded my laptop to 8gb ram, no issues. Thanks for everything

I think it could be a RAM problem . . . .

MemTest LAST UPDATED : 27/09/2013 Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/ in order to check the integrity of your RAM?

You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
