Your crash report seems to indicate this relates to javascript use, so I would suggest that you try to create and use a new clean profile, and set it to start on the default homepage or a blank tab, rather than restoring a previous session, or any site that could cause problems.

If you can at least get Firefox to start without crashing within seconds that will be some progress.
